If I buy an unlocked ATT SG3 and place my current ATT simcard inside of the device will ATT be aware of my phone change? I.e. will ATT know which phone I am using?
On T-Mobile they can tell, your account should know what phone you are on. Although they know, I don't think the do anything about it.

Is there a way to unlock this setting?
Search the forums. There's a way around it.

Golly thanks. Never would have thought of that. Any clues on which forums to search? The ATT forums pulled up nothing for me.
No way I've found around it.. don't know what he is talking about.

Search "GSLEON APN Unlock" in AT&T Development. I'd post a link if I wasn't on my phone.
Edit: Scratch that. Can't find it in there anymore. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Anyway if that is what you are talking about adding an non lte apn can be done but that is nit the same thing as unlocking it enabling manual network selection.

Is it something in the SIM that locks it?
i would greatly appreciate if someone found it!
What are you guys trying to do with this? When I go through it seems to be unlocked I can choose att and T-Mobile and I'm on att network

Where did you get the phone? I'm guessing from your sig you are rooted and running a non-ATT rom?
if you are talking to me i got my phone from att and i am using my att rom

Is that all it takes? Coolio. What is the best way to unlock? Also, I'm not worried about LTE vs 4G , just carrier selection.
oh im not unlocked either phone is just rooted running my rom
Would unlocking get carrier selection working?
I'm not sure I have carrier selection and I'm not unlocked

Just rub a little salt in the wound why doncha... lol. That is where I wanna be. I get into areas where the ATT signal is weak but present, and the phone will go on a roaming network. If I reboot it comes back up on ATT. Might have to go the root/rom route. Unless unlocking will get me there...
Im thinking about switching carriers from att to simply mobile will it work with a rooted and flashed galaxy s3? Does anybody know???

There is a way to unlock the phone but i fear that these roms are catered to 4g lte and simply mobile is only 4g will that affect service as far as data or email and text etc? Will it even work at all?

No lmao. If u dont know the difference between att radios and tmobile radios, then id advise u not to even bother with rooting and flashing. U can only get and will only get EDGE/2G data speeds. Period

Now that my phone is unlocked on T-Mobile do I install ROM for T-Mobile or stay with ROM for ATT
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
You Must install roms from the company you got the phone from. Doesn't matter if you go to another carrier. If you don't install AT&T roms on an AT&T phone, you will brick your phone!

If I unlock my phone can my company know I'm using a s3?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Sorry, maybe its just me today, but the question just doesn't make sense to me.
Unlocking simply lets you use the phone on another carriers network. How or why would your company care what model your cell is?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Because when it is not unlocked some companies require you or automatically puts u into a data plan.
So my question -
Can your company detect what phone you are using if it is unlocked?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
When you say "your company" do you mean your carrier or cellular provider, such as T-Mobile or AT&T?
If that's what you mean then yes, they are usually able to tell what kind of phone you are using.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I don't think they'll make you get a data plan if you bring your own phone, and can't you cancel the data after a while?

You need to change your APN to the ATT LTE and make sure it's set to LTE/GSM. Got a friend's T-Mo S4 up and running on ATT.. everything works flawlessly.

If you "found" it, then yes you should do the right thing and try to get it back to them. In any case, if/when the owner reports it as lost or stolen, the IMEI would be blacklisted and you'd have a useless GS4.
Yeah that's true. Well it don't matter i got my nexus 4 and Motorola Atrix HD all running official CM10.2
