As long as you're unlocked, it should be fine. Might have to flash a modem for better reception.
Just to confirm I do this with my unlocked at&t s3 with no problems at all...stock modem working great. I use three for a carrier when in the UK

I had my phone unlocked through ATT's service, and I'm currently using a SIM from Tuenti, which piggybacks off of Movistar's network. Do I still use the ATT images to root my phone, or will this screw up my cell coverage?
Thanks,
Victor
If you are using an AT&T branded S3 then use only d2att ROM's.

USE D2ATT roms. You might have to put in a custom APN to get mobile data.
I am new to this, just get it in mind.
It may be stupid but I really do not know.
Any one can answer this question?
Thank you very much.

Is the device "unlocked" if it "rooted"
Answer = They are different things not related.
Thanks a lot.
So I have to unlock the phone if I want to use another carrier's SIM.
Can I use a windmobile SIM after I unlock a Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 - SGH-i747M?

It is said the Bell Device can use a Rogers SIM after unlock but not a Wind SIM.
I have unlocked my phone by downgrade to 4.1.1 stock rom.
When I insert the Wind SIM, detected the network but only the roaming network, and I can not register to that network.
When I change to a Rogers SIM, everything works fine.
Does anyone know if there is a way to configure the Bell i747M for a Wind SIM?
Thanks a lot.
I am trying to unlock my sim so I can use simple mobile. Right now I have the latest AOKP on my phone. I also don't have any sim card in it yet. I tried to unlock using *#197328640# but it won't do anything. Do I have to Odin back to stock for it to work? Or is there another way to unlock the sim?

I just did some reading and I see that it has to be stock tw ROM in order for that to work.

If its a sgh-T999 it doesn't have to be unlocked to be used on simple mobile

unlocking a Galaxy s3 without a sim card
Hi, I just got a tmobile Galaxy s3 since my friend upgraded to an iPhone, however I have service with Virgin Mobile. I've read about unlocking phones to work with different carriers and I'm hoping there's a way to unlock this tmobile phone so i can use it with Virgin Mobile. Virgin Mobile as far as i know doesn't use sim cards. Will i be able to make the switch?

I recently acquired a t-mobile galaxy S3 (t999l)running stock 4.1.2, however my current provider is metropcs and in order to use it i have to unlock it. I currently dont have the money to pay for that so i want to downgrade it to 4.1.1 to do it for free. I was wondering how i could go about downgrading step by step. I would also like to have it rooted.
There is no 4.1.1 for t-999l.. And you don't need to unlock T-Mobile phones to use them with metroPCS.. I know because I've worked for metroPCS.. In other words, you're good to go!!

4.1.2 is all we have

I tried putting my already activated metropcs sim card in and it asked for sim unlock code. Is there anything I can do to resolve that.

What phone did you have before? Was it cdma or gsm? It shouldn't ask for one.. also is your area using cdma or gsm network?

Hello Everyone
I have a newb question so please dont judge
I have an unlocked and rooted T889V which i got from Wind Mobile. I have decided to gift it to my wife
as she is fed up with her little S3 mini and the crappy camera. She is currently with Rogers however she
does not have data or plan on using the internet. She will be sticking to Wifi as she either uses it home or at work.
Will this phone work with Rogers to make calls and send text messages or do i need to flash a different modem?
Thanks!
Yes, but the phone will need to be unlocked.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Just unlock it. Insert Rogers SIM. Done.
No need to bother with enabling LTE since she won't be using data on it.
Although I am *very* curious to know if the (upcoming official) 4.3 update activates it since Vidéotron should be flipping the switch on their own LTE deploy soon-ish.

Yup its already unlocked she just needs to buy a micro sim card cause hers is the regular big one. Thanks for the help guys.
