quick question for anyone that has either travelled from Canada to the US or someone from the US using a Canadian (at least, telus/bell) galaxy nexus GSM...
I have a galaxy nexus from telus...as we know here in Canada, 2g on telus and bell doesn't exist as they had CDMA networks...but the galaxy nexus itself is pentaband GSM and works on almost all carriers worldwide...
i'm going to the US in a little while and i was wondering if 2g will work on my phone if i pop in a t-mobile prepaid sim...
(what i'm going to do is buy a prepaid sim for a buck and activate the daily plans...)
I know it should work on their "4g" plan, which is really HSPA+...so the same as ours...so i'm just wondering if the plans/bands will work on t-mobile? or just 4g? or both 2g and 4g?
thanks!
So this is what I've been reading/hearing so far. If I were to get an International Samsung Galaxy S3 and put it with the $10 unlimited data plan for non-smartphones (I already have the unlimited texting family plan) it will work? What about the HSPA+ thing? What exactly is the HSPA+? Also, I heard that the international version needs a microSIM. So will I need to change anything on my current plan for a microSIM? How would I get it from At&t then?
How much are international Samsung Galaxy S3 range from? Will I need to buy an unlocked version? What does 'unlocked' mean?
Geezuz dude, google is your friend.
It works, im using mine on it. Dont know about the whole family plan thing as this is my personal.
Yes, $10 Unlimited data plan can work if done right. HSPA+ is pretty much 3G with backhaul. Yes, the GS3 uses a microSIM...you can get one at At&t (free)...there are videos on youtube with instructions on how to cut your current fatass SIM to a micro...which I would do since you're trying to do that $10 unlimited data thing.
How much are international Samsung Galaxy S3 range from? GOOGLE will answer this..or go look in the marketplace
Will I need to buy an unlocked version? International S3s are unlocked.
What does 'unlocked' mean? unlocked means...its SIM unlocked. Can be used on different SIM carriers.
Does anyone know if lte will still work if I flash my phone to straight talk?
I know you can't access Verizon lte with straight talk but I plan on using straight talk for talk text and 3g. Then I will also use a prepaid Verizon lte sim card for 4g lte speeds when available.
Thanks in advance
you cannot use a verizon nexus on straight talk. period. end of thread.

Didn't really help i think that article is talking about Verizon Global phones (gsm/cdma). I'm positive CDMA phones can be flashed to Straight talk's CDMA network. My question is will i get 4gLTE from Verizon if i used there sim card since 3g(straight talk no sim card required) uses one radio and 4glte(Verizon) uses another.
I know this is an old thread but yes you can flash it to straight talk but no you won't get 4g unless you have a way to switch from nv mode to ruim and you have to keep the sim card active. Meaning your paying extra for it
Hello guys I have looked all over the internet with no luck. Can anyone show me a tutorial on how to use my HTC Rezound 4g lte verizon phone on the verizon pre pay 3g network? Thanks in adavnce.
Hello everyone i could use some info regarding The Sprint Galaxy S3 [SPH-L710]
So im getting a new phone. i work at walmart and noticed that verizon released the galaxy s3 for prepaid.. I decided i wunt it but theres a problem i have to be able to use it as a Hotspot in order to do that i needa use pda net witch requires Root. I have looked and looked and looked and found out that the Prepaid Galaxy s3 [i535PP] can NOT be rooted, but the non Prepaid version of the galaxy s3 [i535] and the sprint version [L710] of the s3 CAN be rooted... so if i had a non prepaid version of the galaxy s3 i can root it and use it as a hotspot with pda net. i did some research and found that the sprint Galaxy S3 L710 can be flashed to verizon =) so i searched ebay for a sprint galaxy s3 flashed to verizon prepaid and i found 1 listing with a guy that has a Sprint L710 Galaxy S3 and i wunt to buy it and root it.... So here is my question
I researched Sprint Galaxy S3 and read alot about 4g not working... im not 100% sure if this is a issue with the phone itself or sprint the provider but If i buy this phone and its flashed to verizon prepaid will the phone be able to get 4g signal/service
Verizon recently released 4g on prepaid network and id like to use it with this phone.
bottom line is will a Sprint Galaxy S3 Flashed to Verizon Prepaid Be able to access 4g signal??
Thanks in Advance!!!
Nope no 4g service if the phone is flashed to Verizon prepaid. At least Verizon's LTE.
Now you can get 4g but from a sprint provider. Either ting or freedompop I believe. I use freedompop. You only get 500 mb of data but you can pay more if you need more.

No. Verizon's 4g operates on a completely different frequency then Sprint. You will be able to use 3G and 1xRTT and that's it.
aww man that sucks oh well... ok well then i have a different question. What if i were to buy a non prepaid i535 verizon verson, can it be flashed to verizon prepaid and if it can be then can it be rooted??? if so then ill have to research how to flash a i535 the reason i need verizon is because its the only service that works in my area and it bairley works at that..
