Hi.
I own a galaxy nexus from Verizon.
I wanted to know if I can use it with TMobile. I am moving, and Verizon obviously will not let me cancel my plan, as they do have coverage in my new location (but it's horrible!).
I know that the Galaxy Nexus is penta-band and supports Tmobile 4G network and will work with T-mobile.
The question is - is it doable? If so, what is it that I need? Just an unlock code?
Any info will be very welcomed and greatly thanked for!
No. Your Verizon nexus will NEVER work for T-Mobile.
There are two different versions of this phone and yours only works for Verizon.

Why is that? Different hardware?

I am planning to buy a Galaxy Nexus. But how can I be sure that the one I am buying does work on 1700MHz? I heard that not ALL Galaxy Nexus are pentaband (European? Australian?), I am not sure is it true or not.
Anyway, Is there any way I can check when I purchase one? I am really concerned about that since I am planning to use in Tmobile USA
Any help will be appreciated!!
Thanks guys!

I do appreciate the help. But nobody is answering my question. And they ALL are different questions.
I just want to know is there any way I can check whether the newly purchased galaxy nexus will work on 1700MHz or not.
Please stop generalizing my question.
Thank you very much
Just because people aren't answering your question fast enough for you, doesn't mean you can make more threads to get your answer fast enough.
AND you do realise that more than one question can be asked in 1 thread, plus you can edit your first post and title to be a new question.
Also, are you in america? Where are you right now and what service will you be using?

Thanks! Thats reassuring. I too want to use it on Tmobile, mostly for their 3/4G networks. The phone I am using now does not receive 1700MHz. And GN seems to be the only samsung international phone works on 1700MHz. So I give it a shot.
I just want to make sure the international version of GN works on 1700MHz. I tried dialing the service codes like *#*#0011#*#* to check, but it only displays the band I am currently using, not the bands that the phone supports.

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
are there any canadian carriers that this phone will work on?

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.

So verizon phones cant be flashed to other cdma carriers? Ive seen several verizon smartphones flashed to cricket with no issues, id almost bet the gnex could flash to cricket easy.

I'm sure it could fetch $150, and you can get a used gNex for about $200

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.

well sold the phone on ebay lots of interest and glad it went to a Verizon person knowing that it will work for them, and picked up a Galaxy Nexus on Wind Mobile Tab 40 bucks all included :good:
I was looking at picking up a used LTE nexus 7 to replace my wifi one. I found one for a good price that was originally purchased from Verizon. Will I be able to swap this device to at&t or has Verizon locked it?
Thanks

Cool. I just know verizon hates Nexus devices for the most part so I wasnt sure what lengths they would go to in order to ruin them.
I bought a like-new Verizon sold N7 and have only ever used it on T-Mobile.
PM me if serious about purchasing. Im gonna be selling mine which is unlocked free of Verizon. Only used it with AT&T. Just depends on how soon you're looking to purchase.
Will project fi work with the Oneplus 3? I'm assuming someone would need to give us a way to install the dialer?
If it did, you would be limited to a T-Mobile connection.
Is that because of the frequencies it covers?

simple can the oneplus 3 work on Sprint as it is right now? There is your answer

Sorry don't have the tech sheet memorized, but I'm assuming it doesn't support Sprint then.

Your bad but quite sure you have seen a video read a thread or maybe even heard a few people talk about if not Google is your friend.
APN set to h2g2 and you shouldn't have an issue. It won't do auto switching but if you send the CDMA or GSM commands it will switch.
*#*#34866#*#* for T-Mobile
*#*#34777#*#* for sprint
I do not have a OnePlus but I have used my project Fi sim on alot of other devices.
no - but you can use proj fi Data-only sim
