Hello guys,
I have been reading all I can about the TP2 on different networks and I'm taking the plunge to buy an unlocked TP2. The only problem is that I'm torn between which one I should buy. I have searched all day and havent found the answer.
1) I like the features on the Verizon version but I have a deciding question - Can the Verizon version be used on the TMobile network? That is very important for deciding.
2) What problems am I likely to face using unlocking/HARD SPLing the Verizon version to work with the TMobile network?
I use TMObile at the moment with no intentions of switching carriers.
I would appreciate any positive help. Thanks
No-
VZ is CDMA and TMobile is GSM -
Not compatable
Prubin is right, but not telling the whole story.
A fully unlocked VZW TP2 will let you use a TMO SIM card and you will get GSM calling. Just no 3G on data, only EDGE speeds as the VZW TP2 does not have the proper UMTS bands.
I'm using with both Verizon and prepaid Tmobile (only 1 at a time). You will need to sim unlock as well.
As previous post stated, you lose 3G, only EDGE. Prepaid has no data but I was able to browse t-zones sites just fine. And you'll probably lose Tmobile specific apps.
hey peeps, I'm travelling to key west florida next week and would like to kno if I could get a pay and go service with tmobile oe verizon on my dz? rogers wants $25 extra a month for international text which is 100 sent ultd receive. I'm sure I can find something better down there? I'm sim unlocked, I kno tmobile will work but unfamiliar with pricing etc and I know there's a verizon in key west but dunno if they use the same freq bands.
thanks for any info you guys can help with!
cheers

Can't answer for sure because there can be frequency issues depending on your carrier. But your options are going to be either T-mobile or a regional carrier that covers that area that will give you a prepay SIM. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA aka no SIM and won't work.
Just looked at T-mobile they offer a prepay plan of $30 for a month of service with 1500 talk&text and 30mb of web. You'll have to check coverage though and as I said you need to make sure your DZ will work with the frequencies that T-mo is on, which I think is 1700mhz.
ok I will see what google can find for me thanks for the input! even still at 30 a month I get more than rogers can cover me there. only issue is finding a tmobile store or. like u said a local provider. I will do some searching here in a bit.
if anyone else has any opinions or advice its welcome

I think the Rogers desire z uses the same 3g as AT&T. If the Rogers phones work on the Bell 3G then this is true.
I 2nd ^^ this guy.
I think rogers is using the same 3G bands as AT&T, so you'd have to....
1. Unlock your DZ
2. Change the APN settings to AT&T
3. Enjoy your trip to florida
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
I have a Verizon HTC One that has been flashed to cricket. I can call, text, and i get 3G data. i was wondering if i could get 4G on Crickets new gsm network. would the radios be compatible? i would love to be able to get 4g on this phone on cricket? is there a way to unlock the 1900 band for LTE with S-OFF?
i dont know if i can get MMS yet but ill try and update.
The lte radio on the Verizon m7 is locked to the 700mhz spectrum band 13. I'm pretty sure there isn't any way to get lte on another network with this device.
@disconnecktie is correct. Only mvno that you would get 4G is one that uses Verizon towers. I don't think cricket sources to Verizon.

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..
