The reason I ask is because its cdma and GSM. Been searching around and seems that it can be unlocked with gevey but no sure truth.

i used to work with jailbraking iphone!!
the new iphone 4s its a worldwide phone!!
it have all the chips on the phone the CDMA and the GSM with only ATT VERIZON AND SPRINT frequencies
so yes you can unlock the iphone 4s with sam method and make it work with tmobile
remember you will only get edge not 3g/4g

not all the phones from CDMA are only CDMA the Razer from verizon can work on tmobile, the motorola phanton from sprint works on tmobile etc etc
Sam method no longer works, so the unlock isn't possible anymore
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Yes you can its cdma and GSM as long as it is on firmware 5.0.1 and not 5.1, you can jailbreak it and use the Sam unlock tool. But I wouldn't reccomend doing that because it can only use edge.. and well T-Mobile edge is terribly sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Like it take 4 minutes to locate you on google navigation.

Don't do it. You will only get edge data (2g) and the iPhone does not compare at all the the galaxy s ii. (Unless you like really simple boring phones) the only thing the 4s has on the galaxy s2 is more apps, but android is catching up. I've had an iPhone on T-Mobile and the data speeds are unbearable.

So.. Why do you care if it's unlockable if you are going to sell it?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
because i used to get double the money if the phone was jailbroken or unlock..
if you wanna get the note just trade your s2 with a note some people just dont like the big screen after they got it and the only phone similar is the s2 plus it is confirm that the tmobile s2 works on att 4g!
so no pro there

I have a note for sale cuz the 4g speeds suck , I would stick with the gs2 for now T-Mobile will release their note soon just wait for that seems like tmobiles version will have different chip set only one guy had gotten an att note to work on 4g pretty good but he modded the antenna

this is a little late but... don't buy any sprint phones since you're not even going to activate it on sprint right away. They can report it lost and have it blocked to be used on sprint.
There is no true way to unlock the sprint phone. You can make it a world phone and have the gsm unlocked for outside the US, but not for the US gsm carriers. the SAM method basically just spoofs your t-mobile sim and that sim only. So if you would to use another sim, it will not work unless using the SAM method again. I believe the SAM method portal has been patched recently so it is down for the moment.
the value for the sprint iphones are below our phone, so I don't see why you don't just sell the white t989.

I think you can find it for cheaper than that if you put more search effort in.
You don't need to gave it GSM unlocked to root.. u can root it either way.

Has anybody been able to get their T-Mobile S3 working on SIMPLE MOBILE's network (3g/4g)? I've rooted my phone, and I can't access it (I can't even delete the T-Mobile APN Setting).
Let me know, I would greatly appreciate the help, and I'm sure other users would benefit from this information also. Thanks.
You need to setup a new apn. Go to simple mobiles web site they have instructions to get you up and running.

questions about S3
hi guys
I am a newbie here and I am loving S3 so far and I would like to get simple mobile service with it.
I have a few questions hope you guys can please help me out:
1. on simple mobile web, they sell S3 but says it's not approval and not support 3G, but I saw someone replied it would work 3g/4g with simple mobile service, can you please let me know so i should get $50/month plan instead of $40/month plan or either way is fine?
2, do I have to get a unlocked S3 in order to work with simple mobile service? or I can just buy it from costco or ebay and just insert a simcard i bought from ebay with simple mobile as well? or it has to be unlocked S3 & special sim card?
hope you guys can help me with these, thank you so much

It will work with 3g or 4g. If u get the 40 dollar plan you will get thr 3g speed. If u get the 40 dollar plan u will get the 4g speed. Everything is listed in black and white on simple site. Any tmobile phone will work with simple mobile without unlocking. Simple Mobile is mvno of Tmobile.

EBay. They usually have them for around 20 bucks. I don't really trust some of the other third party sites unless someone directly refers me.

Does anyone know of a good place to buy this phone unlocked? I'd heard people talking about newegg before, but they seem to have the at&t version and i'd rather do without the little carrier tattoo under the earpiece.
I did on negrielectronics.com
they rock.
Fast international shipping, very efficient customer service, good price.
The bad side is that they are not largely stocked with captivate glide. I had to check their site twice a day for 2 months before i could order one. If you found one, i would suggest you not to hesitate.
Edit: I saw mostly AT&T devices. Rogers ones were mostly refurbished but you can find brand new ones as well. Just be aware that their stock is limited.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176361 clearly shows a Glide without AT&T branding. The box in the pic even says "Galaxy S Glide" which is the Rogers name for the phone. You could email Newegg and ask.
Any particular reason you want the Rogers version? The radios are identical.
Maybe because he wants a few features the att version removes

The rogers one can toggle data without root or custom roms, and it has no carrier branding. It also has no carrier bloatware.

Not totally true. It has a boot animation, though agreed not the logo printed on the phone like at&t. Also it has a lot of bloat and I mean a lot.

Hi guys new to the forums i did alot of searching and researching but just cant figure out a solution. I purchased this phone as a replacement to use in canada on the bell mobility network when i first recieved the phone i went to bell and tested with there sim card and the phone would not connect, so after being dissapointed i went home and downloaded and installed the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.1 and unlocked and rooted the phone hopping this was my solution after this i headed back to the bell store and tested again still no luck I am hopping someone has any ideas for me i really would like to get this phone working
thanks
From what I understand, Bell is a GSM network correct? Well, Verizon is a CDMA carrier. The SIM card in our i515 is only for LTE. That's it. It won't work on Bell, I'm pretty sure you need an unlocked GSM Nexus for that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Bell Canada is not a CDMA carrier, you bought the wrong model, research first next time.

id like to know where you found that? if its from bell's website, you need to ask them how to flash a CDMA phone to their network.
if its not from their website, uh yeah... they're pretty much GSM only from what i know of them
EDIT: you found that information not from their website. here's the info you shouldve read: http://support.bell.ca/Mobility/Net..._phone_or_smartphone_work_on_the_Bell_network
oh well im guess im pooched its the internal electronics that are not compatible i was hoping the unlocking and rooting would do the trick

No... The CDMA Nexus will only work on Verizon. I believe some of the very small carriers will work but don't depend on it. I think Rodgers may have a chance, but VZW is very tight about its phones

You could probably manually program it with the tools autoprime posted here in general for 3G, Talk, and Text but you'll never get LTE on it.

Its all about what frequencies the phones radio has. My old incredible 2 had a different radio and could go to cricket, yet my nexus can't get to any other because of the fact that there's more than one CDMA frequency.
