Is it possible to use the sprint variant on the Verizon network?
From GSM Modification SPH-L900 Sprint Note 2 and GSM SIM card mode for Sprint Galaxy Note II?
It looks like people have managed to use a N7100 sim/sdcard module to replace the embedded Sprint sim/sdcard module and used it to connect to non US gsm networks and continuing reading on the second forums seems to indicate the Verizon variant (SCH-i605) and the Sprint variant (SPH-L900) are quite similar at least for the backplate in terms of some antenna positions(I think?).
If I were to use a N7100 sim/sdcard module or a SCH-I605 module Sim & SD Card Reader SCH-i605 Samsung Galaxy Note II 2 Verizon 16GB OEM along with a Verizon backplate or modified sprint backplate, would I be able to use it on the Verizon network?
Sorry if i posted in the wrong place. I'm not very used to XDA forums at all, just enough to figure out how to root my Verizon S4 from reading.

Initially I thought there were two variants of Samsung Galaxy Note 2, N7100 and N7105(LTE) but it looks like there are more.
I checked the NOTE 2 at my local T-Mobile store and it was SGH-T889.
I am planning to buy a (no contract/unlocked) Note 2 with LTE support. I can buy the unlocked N7105 online but it costs $825.
I was thinking of buying the retail t-mobile SGH-T889 for $650 plus taxes but I am concerned:
1) T-mobile support told me that I will not be able to use any other SIM.
2) Even if I get it unlocked from (cellunlocker.net), will I get any carrier LTE coverage ?
I frequently travel (international) so would like to have a Note 2 which supports LTE for multiple carriers ?
As per this Anandtech, T-mobile note 2 was unlocked and it picked up ATT LTE.
Phandroid also confirmed that t-mobile supports LTE.
I had a chat with Negrielectronics support and they informed that n7105 does not support ATT LTE.
Experts, please suggest/confirm if the t-mobile note 2 will support LTE overall ?
Thanks
LTE are carrier specific in the US. US Lte are incompatible with international Lte. That's why there are different models gsm of iPhone 5.
Buy the Lte model for the place where you spend your most time.

Hi experts,
Here on xda-developers, I read, that if we get the Samsung Galaxy S3, with the Exynos Processors, the APNs can be modified and can be used as a World Phone.
That means, if we are in the US we can use Verizon 4G LTE Network.
If we go to Europe, we can use the local SIM Card and use the local 4G LTE even from a GSM or a CDMA provider.
Here are my questions.
1. Is this possible? Is the information true?
Here is the link for that.
http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...ther-variants/
If this is possible, can the same be applied to the Snap Dragon Processors?
Swapping the Samsung Galaxy S3 between different carriers, Is this possible?
From Verizon to use it with AT&T and vice versa?
2. There is also a thread which shows that, the Galaxy S3 can now be booted from a SD Card.
Here is the link for that.

If that is possible, can the Bricked G3 Phones from Verizon or AT&T can be reused?
Thanks a lot for the answers and sharing of Your wisdom on this.
Peace,

I was wondering and thinking; I went to unlock my sgh m919 phone using The process involves getting into Service Mode on your Galaxy S4 by typing “*#27663368378#” and I noticed settings for SIM cards and CDMA. Is it possible by tweaking these settings if you can put a Verizon sim or Sprint SIM card in this galaxy 4 and it work. This version of this galaxy s4 coverage a large range of frequencies? Any one brave enough to try it?
Hi all,
While I was deployed in Afghanistan I purchased a Note 2 GT-N700 from an Italian PX. Used it over there and worked great. Come back to the States last week and Verizon, my carrier, says I can't use it here because they don't have that IMEI number. Tried putting my active Verizon mini SIM in it from my GS4 and nothing.
Can I salvage this situation? I really like the bigger Note 2. Can I root or something?
Thanks in advance.
Verizon is CDMA. 100% not going to work.

Thanks; so it'd only work with ATT or TMobile SIM cards?
2G only for T-Mo, some 3G for ATT, no LTE on either. N7100 is not well suited to use in North America, better to sell it & pick up the VZW variant (if you can get past the branding on the home button).

So I am currently in possession of a Verizon branded S6 edge+ which I am planning to use with TMo, as far as the XDA community I've seen this subsection as well as subsections for the different carries ex. TMo S6 edge+, Verizon S6 edge+ etc I was wondering what the difference was, also was wondering which ssection, my guess is the Verizon subsection as the phone's innards are specific to Verizon's version but I'm just asking before I get Into the rooting (rather be safe than sorry)
Also has any one else done this? Is there any discrepancy with the signal or anything else?
Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks
Verizon and tmobile use different technologies. Tmobile is gsm and verizon is cdma
re: Verizon S^ Edge+ on T Mobile network.

The new Samsung S6 Edge+ and Note 5 Verizon phones can also use sim chips.
Both of those phones have sim chip slots which are the same size as the T mobile and
Note 5's sim chip slots.
All you need to do before you do anything else is to borrow a friends T mobile or AT&T
sim chip for a quick test, then power down your phone, insert the T mobile or AT&T sim
card to make sure it works properly and that's it, you don't need to do anything else.
The Verizon Note 5 and S6 Edge+ do not need to be unlocked for them to work with
the AT&T or T mobile netework and sim chips.
Both the Verizon S6 Edge+ and Note 5 have the capability to use the same mobile
bands and frequencies which T mobile and or AT&T networks use.
It is very true that older Verizon phones did not have sim chip slots and could not
be used with any sim chip, but in the past couple of years but thanks to Samsung
changing the internals of the new phones they now can work with sim chips just fine.
I am sure you know that the Verizon S6 Edge+ or the Verizon Note 5 cannot be
rooted at all even if they are used with a T mobile sim chip on Tmobile/AT&T network.
That means you will not be able to flash any custom roms, kernels or custom recoveries.
The Verizon S6 Edge+ and Note 5 even if used on the Verizon network cannot be rooted
and cannot be flashed with custom roms, custom kernels and recoveries either.
But the phone will work just fine on the Tmobile or AT&T network.
The only advantage I see in getting a T mobile sim card and using
it with your Verizon S6 Edge+ on the T mobile network would be a
savings of at least $25 bucks a month if you only have one line of
service and even more if you have more than one line of service.
Good luck,
Merry Christmas
