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

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

Can this be done? I currently have Verizon, and a Verizon Note 3. Unfortunately, we can't get aosp because of the locked bootloader, which so far hasn't been unlocked, that's if it will ever get unlocked. So I was considering trading my Verizon Note 3 for a T-Mobile note 3 if it will work on Verizon's network. Sorry if this had already been answered.
Thank you
No tmobile note 3 is GSM where Verizon uses CDMA cellular technology. Two different frequencies.
I understand that, I just thought since they use a SIM card it make work lol
In a word, no.
Yes I am from nooberia not knowing basic information about sim stuff is the normality for me.
I read places the V note 4 is factory unlocked, even tmobile the other day told me that I can use it in their network just not a tmobile note 4 on verizon. so I tried to put in an active sprint sim and well I figured like on the tmobile note 3 I would get a screen asking for the unlock code. Nooooo. LOL booted up like normal except icon at the notification bar says "unrecognized sim"
anyways to use V. Note 4 on sprint network?
I think the problem is with Sprint because Sprints network is not gsm.
Neither is Verizon
My 2 cents on Verizon sim card versatility on other carriers
First post and first up at bat, so let me too proclaim softly that I too am like a citizen of nooberia and a remote village as well metaphorically , but thanks to internet access I recently read that the FCC mandated that Verizon phones that are 4 g LTE capable have gsm sim card compatibility. The FCC allocates a range of bandwidth frequencies to the various carriers which are made accessible through carrier specific sim cards for a mobile phone. Any further clarification and/or corrections on this matter is always sought and appreciated .
Sought out this forum to discover the benefits of rooting a Galaxy Note 4. from those who know much more than I...
I have a kingdom now?
Hello,
I recently joined Sprint's network. I am aware that their phones are CDMA-based, unlike T-Mobile's and ATT's, which are GSM-based.
My mother has a Note 3 in good condition that she is getting rid of, and I'd like to keep it; but it's a T-Mobile model, and have been trying to find info. about whether or not the phone can be made to work in Sprint's network after unlocking it.
Any information is greatly appreciated.
No, 2 different types of radios. work with any GSM based carrier like T Mobile AT&T etc but not sprint
should work in 2020 as sprint is now owned by tmobile
Hi guys!
So I have been stuck with my AT&T S5 since it first came out in 2014. Now it's wearing off..... (very slow, crashes a lot). I am a root/flash junkie so the only reason why I want to upgrade to s6 edge now is because it's possible to root! I am planning to upgrade to a S6 edge but using a Tmobile device and unlocking the sims to AT&T carrier (I am using AT&T). I have done my research and the S6 edge for AT&T is too difficult to root/rom customize with 5.1.1 (or not possible at all). With that being said, I am planning to purchase a s6 edge running on 5.1.1 with T-mobile.
Anyone with AT&T service have tried this method and works successfully? Few questions to ask.. how is it any differ from AT&T service? Does it matter? Any changes? Text/call/4G LTE works flawlessly just like a normal AT&T phone?
I'm also planning to unlock the sims by the method that senior member, stifilz, posted in one of the other thread, "Sim Unlock - Intl' and Domestic".
Once it is unlocked, you put an AT&T SIM in and you are good to go. Did it on my T-Mo Nexus 5 and on my wife's T-Mo iPhone 5S.

I know they are two diffrent networks with CDMA & GSM. Some phones now cover both. I've read the note 4 was working like this. I'm curious of a couple things.
1. Is it really possible? To go from at&t to verizon with a note wdge.
2. If so, could you flash a verizon rom onto the at&t note edge to have all the verizon stuff?
Well I haven't been looking into this
But from first-hand experience, if you do
Only talk and text messages will work
Anything data-based will not work as the AT&T Note Edge does not have the correct radios to actually get data
You need the CDMA radios to actually use data
and secondly, the AT&T Note Edge (Same with the Note 4) has been bootloader locked since the release of the phone
Meaning the AT&T Note Edge cannot be modified system-wise
We are still trying to get stable temp-root
Not a good sight
And the Verizon Note 4 (Edge as well) have been bootloader unlocked since April of last year
Meaning customization level is higher than the AT&T variant
Now thing is, the Verizon variant is bootloader locked by default
and you need to have a good amount of knowledge of ADB to actually unlock it
and a lot of patience
but the community is there to help you out with any of your questions
As long as the phone has the Samsung eMMC
So why bother with the AT&T variant and just go get the Verizon variant
Bootloader unlocked, and correct radios
Seems like a plus to me
and the Verizon variant has GSM radios so it can work with AT&T and T-Mobile, and yes
It is unlocked by default so you don't need to contact Verizon to unlock the phone

All you need is to first of all
Find the APN settings for your specific carrier
After you do, place the SIM card in and then go to the settings, Mobile Networks, APN settings, and then set it up how it is intended to be
