SIM card and bands on AT&T model - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi all. Apologies for my ignorance and really stupid question. Does the AT&T SGS3 use a SIM? If so, is it a micro SIM? Is there a SIM free version?
Which network frequencies does AT&T use? Which networks? GSM? UMTS/HSDPA? LTE? A combination of the above?
If someone who knows this information could let me know asap it'd be very much appreciated.

[Q] Can I use N7102 with Verizon?

Greetings all, I'm a noob to the forum, although I've been reading a lot useful posts from xda.
I have a question here: is it possible for me to use N7102 on Verizon network? I currently use Verizon Droid RAZR and I also have an old GSM iphone 3GS on which I have a foreign SIM card. Since N7102 supports both GSM and UMTS with dual-SIM and dual-standby feature, I really want to get an N7102 so I don't have to carry two phones all the time. I'm sure my GSM SIM card can work on N7102, and since I'm on a long term contract with Verizon, I'd like to know whether I switch to N7102 with Verizon?
It looks like Verizon allows people to use CDMA phones other than those provided by Verizon, but they have a page titled "Check Your Device" for people to check if their devices are eligible (as I'm not allow to post link here, please just google "check your device verizon" to get the page if you can help). Since I don't own an N7102 nor do I know anyone who owns one, I would really appreciate it if any owner of an N7102 here can help me check if N7102 is eligible for use on Verizon network. Thank you!
100% no. The N7102 doesn't support CDMA at all. Think you'd have more than a little bit of trouble getting Verizon to accept a foreign ESN even if it did.

N719 might be the right one for you.
Mini Sim---GSM 900/1800
Micro Sim---CDMA/evdo
N719 is on sell in China.
N719 for China Telecom only?

I remember N719 is designed for China Telecom only, maybe I'm wrong.
If I'm correct, it should be using WCDMA network, are you sure it can be used on CDMA on USA carries?
Even so, I guess it may need to be flashed before it can be used on any USA CDMA network. Is that right?

[Q] Will the SGH-T989 work on AT&T?

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this....I am currently a T-Mobile customer. We are thinking of going over to AT&T and I was wondering if My phone will work with their service? I think I might have to get it unlocked form TM..but wasn't sure...or could I Root my phone and then it will be usable?
I think the networks are similar, but are the sim cards the same in size?
Does AT&T have the WiFi calling feature? I thought that was strictly a TM thing...
If a moderator feels this should be posted in the AT&T section, feel free to move it there as I don't know where it should have been posted to begin with....
Thanks ahead of time!
It supports hspa 1900 on AT&T but you will lose WIFI calling as they do not have it.

[Q] Can I use the AT&T I747 on Verizon Network

Hey guys, I have a very simple noob questions, please don't flame me. I did try to search and I looked through faq's.
Can I use an AT&T I747 S3 on the Verizon CDMA Network? Will LTE work, only EDGE, any data? I would assume if so, it would requiring rooting. Any advice you could provide with be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for you time!
As far as I know, GSM phones will not work on any CDMA network at all.
Try to trade your phone for a Gsm version on CL.

I was under the assumption that this model had a cdma radio along with the gsm. Is this not accurate?
Verizon = no sim card = most likely no
no... cdma and gsm are completely different technology

I have an AT&T phone, so it has a GSM radio and micro SIM card slot in it already.
The VZW S3 can and has been used as world phone. It has both GSM and CDMA radios in it. I was hoping that this was the case with this phone as well. I am thinking now that they may only share the LTE 700 MHz Class for 4G.

slightly incorrect.
Verizon 3G = no SIM card
Verizon LTE = yes SIM card
and to answer your question, no.
i moved from Verizon to AT&T, and i had the Verizon Galaxy Nexus at the time. even tho it took a SIM card for LTE, i could not use it on AT&T for their LTE. i also asked Verizon at the time if i had the GSM Galaxy Nexus, if i could use it on Verizon, and they told me 'no'.

The only carriers that in know of that use CDMA worldwide are Verizon and Sprint. That being said, in order for Verizon's phone to work outside of the US it has to have GSM radios. Since AT&T phones already run on GSM, there would be no need for a new set of radios to go abroad. If I am not mistaken, CDMA is patented so you can count on it not being on any phone not from either Verizon, Sprint, or a smaller pre-paid service that runs off of their towers.

[Q] Unlock carriers

The Sprint network is CDMA and Three is GSM, right?

Please post the model of the tablet, and the carrier you wish to change it to.
Thanks.

You cant use that tablet on europe at all, no CDMA carriers there, you need the ATT version and pay 19usd to unlock it.
THERE is NO way to get it working, the SIM slot on the sprint tablet is just for Sh1ts N Giggles..

[Q] My phone is unlocked. What I need to do next?

Hello!
Sprint unlocked my Phone. After I insert SIM card from another Carrier, I've got a message "invalid SIM Card". It there somewhere some kind of FAQ or instruction, step by step preferred what I need to do next to make it work?
Thank you!

They unlocked it for international use.
Yes. I understand! But is this possible to make it work with the USA GSM carriers? If this is possible, can somebody help? Thank you!

Not really. I had my note 3 from sorint running on tmobile. But i only had edge and slow service bad voice calling. This phones hardware bands and software bands arent really meant for it. I had to modify the carrier info in my phone to get on tmobile alone. But ince there sorint didnt work anymore. A domestic sim card unlock isnt as easy as with gsm. With gsm the carrier info is practically just in the sim card. But with sprint CDMA it in the phone. Right now sprint sims are just for the lte and spark network. Not the actual use of the phone. So youre kinda out of luck sorry.

Ita bc the hardware is not made for it. The frequencies arent right. If you go to sprinta website the only phones they have that they can domestically unlock for any gsm are the iphones.
