[Q] Can the Inc 2 work on US GSM Carriers?

Is it possible to use the Inc 2 on US based GSM providers? I see the phone supports US GSM frequencies.

Yes but it needs to be unlocked by software. www.CDMA-guru.com is a good place if you want to do it on your own. If not take it to a shop and they can do it for you.

Yes, ask verizon global dept for the unlock code.
Most of the time they will provide it. Tell them you are traveling Asia and want it unlocked.
XTC clip also allows it.

it should work on att and tmo however im not sure if 3g will work because of different bandwith.

Oh ok, I wouldn't do it just wondering. I'm deploying soon so I need to start shopping for carriers in Afghanistan.

It definitely works with Etisalat in UAE.

to confirm, i get Edge in the states on a AT&T sim.
in Asia (Vietnam) i get 3g via UMTS on Mobifone and Viettel

So lets say I wanted to get coverage in an area I normally don't but AT&T has coverage. If I unlock my phone do I have to pay for AT&T service and it is a different number or do I retain my number just pay for the service through AT&T? This is my first go around with all of this and I am not sure it will be worth it.

You have to get service with the other carrier. Which means a second number. I would recommend just doing a prepaid. Remember under your mobile networks settings you have to switch between gsm and cdma.

Unlocking the LTE

I am kinda surprised this has been brought up. SHould we start a fund to reward the first one to break the LTE software lock on the T889?
Please and thanks.

Why?

There's no use for LTE yet unless you want to unlock it and use it on AT&T

the same reason why people unlocked the A&T i717 to get the AWS available so they can use the device with any provider. That's why. Pretty straight up.

*actually*
T-Mobile has two LTE towers in my area
(South of Atlanta, near the airport.)
So, odds are, they have other LTE towers in other areas.
My credible source also told me that T-Mo's LTE towers are fiber-optic based, as opposed to Verizon and At&T's copper-based LTE towers.

[Q] Metro PCS Galaxy S4

Hey guys,
So I just bought a Metro PCS galaxy s4 and the model is "M919N" (I don't know what the N means) but I was wondering if anyone could find a free way to unlock it?
Thanks for your help!

Even the first step doesn't work. That code only works on TMO phones I believe.

I've seen people with AT&T phones in the thread that said it worked. Not sure what may be different about yours. I thought the Metro was just like T-Mobile's.

I thought so too. I have a Metro PCS Galaxy s4 and I wanted to use a T-Mobile sim card in it but it won't let me. I'm still looking around but I can't seem to find anything.

If what I read is right I know why that thread doesn't work for you. Metro is CDMA and doesn't use sim until Tmo phases it out and switches them to GSM. You don't have a sim card? Is that right?

You cant unlock metro phones, the s4 I heard was supposed to support gsm and cdma and metro and tmobile are not phasing out each other ....there new upcoming devices are gonna be dual cdma /gsm and back each other on data where metro gets weak data tmobile gsm will cover and vise versa where tmobiles weak metro cdma will pick up coverage. .
Im not sure if the metro s4 has this feature yet
But thats the plan for this metro tmobile merge.

Then I guess that answers my statement on being unsure of the metro s4 apparently it is cdma gsm dual .
I only meant every other metro phone in the past was not able to be used on another carrier

Sent from my SGH-M919N using xda app-developers app

Just to let y'all know:
Yes, the S4 is a GSM phone that uses both the GSM Tmobilr network and the LTE of MetroPCS, giving u the best of both worlds. When u get it thru metro u also get the best price (50 cheaper on the phone and monthly bill is lower too).
Since it is a gsm phone it can be unlocked.
To answer another question, yes u can use any unlocked T-Mobile or att device on metro at this time. The prices of those phones would still be the same monthly bill as a standard metro 4g phone (40 or 50 or 60)
Also, Metropcs does NOT unlock phones, but they accept unlocked phones.
Hopr this clears things up a bit!

Metro should unlock for u, but will put up a fight no doupt, unless u tell them ur going abroad, and or have a second sim to use. All the gsm carriers csn unlock there own phones. There are unlock sites that will do the job to. the cheaper sites take long time, anything under 10-15. Usually 20-24 csn do within 6-8 hours.

Is the device "unlocked" if it "rooted"
Answer = They are different things not related.

Thanks a lot.

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.
