Hey guys I'd like to use my retail note 4 on Verizon until paid off then was thinking of using strict talk Verizon Sim. Has anyone does this does it get the same lte speeds? Is the service the same? Can I use Internet and mms properly?

If you get the Verizon Sim do you still need to put in the apn?

I think I had to add straight talks verizon apn.

Hello,
Question.. I have a verizon note 2 with straight talk service and I just got a verizon note 4. Can't I just put the sim card from the note 2 into the note 4, use the same apn, and get it to work? Or do I still need to get a new verizon straight talk sim? I got this sim a long time ago so I don't remember if it was a verizon straight talk sim but I assumed it was because it works in my Verizon note 2.

Depends if the SIM fits and what service the SIM is for. If your on the straight talk verizon you need to call in and transfer service to the new phone. If the SIM fits and is for anything other the verizon you'll need to add the apn.
For whatever reason the apn is blocked on mine as well. I'm guessing straight talk updated my apn when I called and gave them my imei number to transfer my account.
Only thing I can recommend is to call straight talk

Ok i found my old activation kit with all the Sim cards in it for at&t and tmobile.. the Sim card I was using was straight talk tmobile which works fine in my Verizon note 2. But when I put it in my Verizon note 4 I get nothing.. no signal bars nothing.. I don't think it's the apn because I put the sim card back in my note 2 and deleted the apn and I still at least got signal bars just no Internet of course. So i got my number switched to the at&t sim card and tried it and got the same results. Works in my note 2 but nothing works in the note 4. No signal at all. Do you think downgrading to kitkat would get it working? I noticed others who said they were using Verizon note 4 with a at&t straight talk sim card was on 4.4
There's a thread here about tmobile. Works for some and not for others. Some tricks to get it working in the thread as well. Again worked for some not for others.
If coverage is good I'd buy a straight talk verizon SIM for it on eBay(where I got mine) and transfer your account to that. You'll have to buy a 6.99 activation from straight talk when you call. Your number won't change either.

So, I'm debating right now between the Hox and the gs3 and honestly the only reason why I can't get this phone is because its lte. I use a 3G sim for all my phones (except my nitro, I don't have a sim in that at all) so I need to know if one can insert a 3G sim and still get data. Oh, and I heard this uses a microsim slot? Tim to get my sim cut....

Both hox and GSIII have micro sim slots. It does have 3g, I use it all the time as there is no 4G in Pennsylvania. Not sure if you'd have to sim unlock it though.

Oh. Thanks. Just asking cuz my nitro only works with specifically designed 4G at&t sims. All other carriers, whatever sims they give, work fine.

why are you resistant to update your SIM card? also your 4G LTE connectivity will depend on your data plan.
I had a iPhone 4 3G Microsim and i had to go to AT&T to get a new sim card because my S3 would not pick up data. After a new sim card and adjustments to my account it was finally able to pick data.

Same thing for me, except i didnt need a new sim. All they had to do was change the imei on my account so my phone with that imei can receive data. The rep told me that its because you can only have one phone with data at a time, as opposed to just being able to switch sims just to receice cellular service for calls.
Post questions in QnA please

I went through similar a long time ago when I got my Atrix. I upgraded from a iPhone 3G and just continued using same SIM. At&t just updated my data to "4G" and updated my imei and everything was groovy from then on. I'm on a whole new account for my S3 though

3g will work if you use the regular apn. If you use the LTE apn (PTA), that will only work with an LTE sin card.
Hey all, been lurking for a while and found that many of you have unlocked Note 2's running on AT&T. I bought my unlock code and all is well on the voice front, I just can't seem to get data working (not edge, not 3G, not HSPA+, nothing). I've tried the various APN's floating around, I've tried selecting CDMA ALL for the frequency band, and I've selected AT&T and "registered on the network" using the automated feature of the phone itself. Still nothing.
When the AT&T version is released, will I be able to flash the ROM and make it work as if I bought it from them?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thats weird. I unlocked mine and got tge cingular apn automatically .

That's what Indie. I have data (but not LTE)

This is the answer I needed. Thank you! I ended up going to the AT&T store today. They said that for some reason I didn't have a data plan anymore (weird because I traded my iPhone 5 for this phone! They subsidized it.) They couldn't get my IMEI to work in their system so the saleswoman used her own IMEI to get me going.
I had been to the AT&T Store once before to trade my nanosim for a microsim, but the phone wasn't unlocked at the time so I couldn't test it out. They scanned in my phone but I guess it didn't take. All is well now, I have 4G (but not LTE, but it doesn't matter because I'm moving to a non-LTE city in less than a month).
It works perfectly, I put in the APNs from the Galaxy S3 on display that the AT&T Store. Decent speeds, awesome phone. Thanks everyone!

That's what I get. And honestly, 3-6Mb/s is perfectly fine for me. I'd like to get LTE for the time I'm here but it doesn't bother me that I don't. At some point one has to question that value of 100Mb internet on a 3GB data plan.
LTE is locked as of right now on the tmobile GN2

I know it isn't AT&T but it took a while to get Solavei APN working on my phone. I played with the settings forever with a customer service rep before I finally got it to work. MMS & internet work great now! Can't wait for LTE to launch!
i got my tmo verion unlocked. I purchased a 50/mo at&t go prepaid, and I can see 4G in the status bar.
Hope this helps
Just started a new thread about this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971879...then I found this one.
I unlocked my phone and bought the tmobile sim activation kit from straight talks website. After adding it to my account and waiting overnight for everything to transfer I'm able to make phone calls and text, but can't send mms, surf the Web, and the data shows E in an area that tmobile site says there is 4g coverage. I've checked the apn against several websites and it seems to be correct. Shouldn't I be getting 4g or tmobile equivalent?
If APN settings is correct you may need to update radio, don't use straight talk myself so I can't say specifically what works best
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43195539
The above should link you to how to change radios, also are you sure you have a g2 and not a dz? As this have different hardware radio bands that don't work with tmobiles hspa, just a thought

Ya, it's an HTC g2 by tmobile. I had it on tmobile before I switched to Verizon.

A while back I unlocked my phone. Just the other day I took it into T-MOBILE and asked the gentleman to put in a sim card so I could verify that it was unlocked. Everything went smooth and my phone showed 4g with T-Mobile.
My question: is my Note 2 a dual phone meaning does it have the antennas to run on a CDMA network as well?
Reason I ask is because I've heard that Boost mobile has unlimited data.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

T-Mobile has GSM network. No CDMA for At&t Note 2
If u want cheap unlimited data, try net10 or straight talk
I don't have the note 2 anymore. I'm using the LG Optimus G Pro.
Net 10 and ST are not unlimited data. They cut you off at some point. I tried NET 10 last year.
And the customer service is so horrible that words cannot describe.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
Well I started out with a Note 3 broke it got another Note 3 and now upgraded to the Note 4 all verizon models all using the same straight talk verizon sim.
Service works on the note 4 BUT am limited to 3G. After talking to a few techs they finally told me I need a new sim card. They don't allow switching phones and keeping a single sim.
They are sending a new sim free of charge so at least that's a good thing. Just that I would put this info out there in case anyone else does that same as me and think you can just move the sim card and be good to go.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I switch my straight talk sim card between 3 different phones and never have a problem. One is my ZTE Lever (Straight talk phone), The second is motorola E2 (which is a verizon prepaid phone), and finally my galaxy note 4 ( which is a verizon phone). Everything works great with no problems at all anytime I switch. Maybe it's your apn settings.

Well on a stock 6.0.1 verizon note 4. I can't touch apn settings. Second I have only the imei of my first note 3 associated with my current sim card. I have service but not LTE. My wife has my second note 3 and I associated the imei with her sim and she gets 4g LTE no issue where I would only get 3g when I used it.
Straight talk won't fix it without a new sim. Which isn't a big deal. Order 2 sim kits from walmart for 2 bucks and will have them in a few days.

My s5 was like that. No other sim would work the 4g. That went for the sim in my s5 wouldn't work other phones 4g either (including other s5s). Now I have my sim from 3 note 4s ago and it works fine(broke one, got a bad one and now have a new one). I can also swap sim cards with my son's s4 and it works just fine. Guess some phones are just weird...

Yeah. I have issues getting this note 4 rooted so I can unlock the bootloader. I don't have a computer and only can borrow for short times which doesn't help.
This note 4 also locked me out when I put the new sim in. I never setup a pin number so couldn't unlock it and it totally erased everything even my SD card which I put back in after finished setup again. Very strange but at least I didn't lose anything. Always doing backups. Seriously want root now so I can do full restore.

My ST VZW works flawlessly after coming from an m7
Verizon can be touchy. Even when I wasn't using StraightTalk, but was on Verizon proper, I've had to replace my SIM to get 4G. Apparently they can get screwed up pretty easily. That being said, at least on VZ proper you should be able to swap SIM cards between phones easily.
Well both my wife's note 3 and my note 4 have 4g again on ST vzw. Which considering where we live is a minor miracle by itself. Went on a small drive 3 phones all vzw service. IPhone lost signal a lot, S5 a few times. My note 4 just once but it was a deep valley with lots of power lines crossing the road. Vzw service is the only service either from vzw or ST. No others even remotely work in this area. Living in the lakes region of New Hampshire in the middle of mountains might be nice views but is terrible for radio waves.
