Howdy,
Everywhere I have been searching and I can't seem to find the answer. Can I buy an unlocked version for Verizon? The reason I ask is because I look at the specs and I see LTE. Can someone help please. Thank you.

No, to use the Verizon service you will need to get the phone from Verizon and it will have logo on the front and back if it will work.
Hello everybody, I am currently planning on coming to Tmobile from Att and I have a unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 from ATT. I know it will work in terms of service, but my question is when I come to flash roms, would I flash them from the Tmobile section of XDA? Or the ATT section of XDA?
The phone originally being ATT with Tmobile Sim card was really throwing me off and I didn't want to do any thing stupid.
Thank you so much for your time.

Ok got it, thank you.
So it doesn't matter that my carrier will be Tmobile, I should still use Att threads and not have a problem?:good:

After inserting a Tmobile sim card into your UNLOCKED phone you will be able to flash
any of the roms here in the Tmobile thread as well as in the AT&T thread.
If you flash a AT&T rom the only thing you need to do to make it work properly is to
change the APN (Access Point settings) in the phone to be "T-Mobile US".
The phone can do that automatically by going into:
Settings>more settings>mobile networks>Network operators>Select automatically and select "select automatically"
and it will find that you have a Tmobile sim and it will change the apn to reflect that.
The phone will work just fine either way, however there is one main difference between
the roms found in the AT&T thread and this Tmobile thread.
The difference is when using Tmobile roms which are not ported from other carriers you
will have built-in wifi calling as an option when using the Tmobile roms.
Other than that you will not notice much of any difference at all.
Good Luck!
I bought a new SS S3 and ordered it for Tmobil network, but instead recieved a ATT phone...
SGH-I747
Everything works fine, and its not unlocked that I know of, but the whole reason I bought the phone was to use the wifi calling option of T-mobil, this att phone doesnt have that option.
Am I screwed? Should I send it back for a t-mobil phone or is there a simple way to update this phone to T-mobil and get the option of wifi calling from T-mobil.?

Hey robomas1. Would you be interested in trading your AT&T s3 for a brand new T-Mobile s3? I have a similar situation as yourself and got a T-Mobile version galaxy s3 but I wanted an AT&T phone as that's what carrier I use.
Let me know. Thanks.

When you are flashing any custom roms after you get your Tmobile sim chip you should flash the
Tmobile Touchwiz Jellybean 4.1.2 custom roms for the very best results.
If you do flash an AT&T cwm/twrp flashable custom rom you will find that even though the phone will
work fine you will loose the free Wifi calling feature in the phone if it's not flashed with a tmobile rom.
Flashing the official Odin flash Tmobile firmware on an AT&T phone even if it's unlocked and rooted will
cause the phone not to be able to make or receive any phone calls.
The reason for this is that all the official Tmobile Samsung Odin flash firmware contain a modem/radio image which
is not compatible with an AT&T phone even if it's unlocked and rooted but none of the Tmobile or AT&T CWM/TWRP
flashable stock or custom roms contain the modem/radio image file which means you can flash them without any issues.
Good luck!

It should go without saying but be very wary of someone who registered an account just to try to trade phones... There's a reason there's a big Swappa logo up above the site navigation bar...

Hi, I have a brand new AT&T S3 and need a T-Mobile S3.
So you still have the T-Mobile Phone?
If Interested, let me know.

I sent you a pm.
As far as just joining to trade phones, I am genuine. I read the forums regularly and finally joined. This forum helped me to unlock my T-Mobile galaxy s3. However, using the tmobile phone, I can't run the update, as the unlock does not hold after and my AT&T sim no longer works.
That's my reasoning for wanting to trade for an AT&T galaxy s3.

Just curious, what do you mean the unlock doesn't hold? Once unlocked it should remain so whether you flash a rom, firmware, mod, etc.

Well I had to flash back to stock rom to unlock the phone. I have avoided running the network update, guess was afraid that it wouldn't work. I really didn't want to have to flash it again and have to unlock it and be back where I started. So it should be fine to update, should cause no issues amd run fine with AT&T sim still?
Thats what you're saying right?
Thanks for info.
As I understand it, that is correct. Once its unlocked, you can Odin flash firmware, recovery flash roms, flash modems, etc.
If it helps, Ive never seen a single thread or question where someone was relocked.

Alright. I will go ahead and run the network update then. The notification doesn't go away. It is annoying!
Haha. I'll post back. I'd rather not have to trade if it works fine. Other than the annoying notification, the phone operates wonderfully.
If i flash the tmobile s3 rom on my att s3 will i get the 1700mhz band? I thought an att s3 on tmobile will only get 2g/edge service. Please let me know if someone knows.
Thanks A Lot,

Probably a silly question, but being that the Family Mobile version of the S4 is a T-Mobile phone, would it still be able to be rooted?

Rooting it will not unlock the device. You'll need to get an unlock code from the carrier the device is locked too.
Here's the link the US Cellular's device unlocking policy
