You would have to flash it to the carrier can't remember how off the top of my head but it can be flashed to cricket and metro...
It can be flashed to pretty much any cdma network, cricket, straight talk, metro pcs, etc. It just cant be used on any major network like sprint, t-mobile, at&t, us cellular, etc. It sometimes requires a donor phone from the network your switching to, and always requires some time and technical knowledge to program it. There are also several online and mom and pop phone shops that will do it for you for a fee of anywhere from $50 to a $100.
Thanks for your help. I'm selling my Dinc and it was asked if it could be done.
Thanks again

It can be used on Page Plus without flashing anything, FWIW.
Because Page Plus is Verizon basically.

Just as the title says. I have a friend who's wife bought a s3 and doesn't like it, and they want to sell it. I'm on t-mobile and they are on att. Thanks in advance.

It will work, however until T mobile completes rebanding the 3g network you will only get edge or 2g data. Voice will work fine.

I knew there was an archive of stock ROMS on here somewhere but I haven't been able to find it. Other than flashing a verizon stock-- is there anything else I need to do to make a Sprint phone work with Verizon? (I'm talking about bringing it into the store so they can activate it on a friends plan)
You can't do it the way you are describing it.

So, is it possible to use a Sprint SII with Verizon?
or, do you know of another way to do it?
I think the only way you would get it to work with Verizon Towers, is to put it on Page Plus, or some other Sprint carrier that allows roaming on Verizon, and use a Verizon hacked prl.
It can be done. You need a donor phone and to manually program it with the info from the donor phone.

It has to have a clean esn. Meaning donor phones bill has to be paid up even if it was not paid at time of disconnection.

Im thinking about selling my s3 from sprint. I was looking to get a s3 from Tmobile from Craigslist. If i active it will it with a sim card i get from walmart will it work if the previous owner has a previous balance? Because I won't know until I get the phone then get the card because people lie on the Internet sometimes to get stuff sold.

As long as its not blacklisted you'll be fine.

He owes money to t mobile for the phone?
Tmo will most likely block it after a while if the remaining balance isn't paid off for the phone.

It won't work lol what you can do is call T-Mobile and give them the iemi and they'll tell you if its good or not.

Best advice I've heard is to go to the T-Mobile store with the person and have the rep there confirm the details (such as if they owe money). And have them add the phone to your account and/or make a note about it.

I'm sure this has been covered, but I'm not finding it. Is the One SIM unlocked out of the box? I'm traveling to Spain tomorrow and VZW is telling me it will work, just slap in a local SIM card. I really don't want to wait until I'm over there to find out. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance!

The local sim you use will have to be on a like network to vzw, don't think it will work on gsm network.

That's what I thought too, but I made it clear to the rep that it would be a gsm service. I guess if all else fails I can buy an unlock code and have it emailed to me.

I wanna say it has to be unlocked now... May need to change VPN settings but I think all of the new set phones can be used on gsm carriers. Not sprint though.

Forgive me, do you mean it should already be unlocked? I don't really care about data, but I'm going to need it to make local calls. I just don't want to get there and then not be able to do anything with it.

AFAIK the ftc forced Verizon to have unlocked phones if they want to use lte.

This is correct, its part of the contract that Verizon made: All LTE phones using the 700MHz band have to be SIM unlocked.
SIM is definitely carrier unlocked. In London now using a 3 SIM with no issues.
It is SIM unlocked. I'm currently using it on T-Mobile in the US.

Are you getting edge data or no? I am now and it sucks
Seriously considering going to straight talk wondering how to flash over.
If you have a clean ESN you can just pay 15 dollars to straight talk to have them add the esn in the system
