Buddy just gave me a Note 3 for TMo being without a phone for a few weeks after breaking my N4. Well this phone work on VZW network if unlocked? Very comfortable with phones, and willing to put in effort if required beyond unlocking.
Does Verizon use cdma which I don't believe the note 3 will support?

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.
I bought a used Verizon Note 3 and the shop I bought it from set it up to run on Tmobile ... I would like to try a Tmobile ROM and want to know if that will cause any conflicts with my service from Tmobile. I don't care about wifi calling, if that makes any difference ...
All responses appreciated!
Not possible to install TMO Note 3 roms on a Verizon Note 3, as long as your Verizon Note 3 has LOCKED BOOTLOADER. I don't think there's a way to unlock it. Bad Verizon, Bad ATT, pure evilness.

I think you can get around it with Side Strap. That's what I have on my rooted Verizon Note 3.
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
We've all read about the things Verizon took out of the note 7. If I bought a different version if the phone, like sprint or tmobile, will it work with Verizon sim? Will I still be able to get updates?
We currently have GS7s
So I had put this there also
But I thought better chance of people here having done this already...
My family has been with sprint for decades.
We have never done a carrier switch.
Family plan.
All phones carrier unlocked.
We have 3 GS7s with sprint firmware.
Two are sprint hardware
One is U hardware
PHOENIX market. Tmobile 5G.
Looking to change all 3 #s to tmobile family plan
Replacing the two sprint GS7s with GS20+
And keeping the GS7 U (sprint firmware)
But changing the GS7 U to tmobile.
Not worried at all about the new GS20s.
Concerned for what to expect of the kept GS7 U (sprint firmware).
Will tmobile flash new tmobile firmware to it?
Will tmobile turn on the proper tmobile radios?
Will the sprint specific bloatware remain and not be uninstallable?
Do I have to do the tmobile firmware/radios myself?
Thanx

Does GS7 "U" mean it's unlocked? If you purchased it unlocked you can put a T-Mobile SIM in and it will work.

i mean im not a gs7 owner for years assuming hes talking about a galaxy s7 which might have issues on tmo if it doesnt have much gsm capability since sprint is of course cdma..
im just gonna stick with sprint and get a sprint s20 ultra 5g seeing as how sprint and tmo are now the same company and sprint users are already able to roam on tmos network and s20 5g owners can already use tmos nationwide 5g as well as they currently have 0 down for new lines and upgrades and sprint is usually the cheaper option (although im on an employee swac acct)
to add tmo wont do anything to the device firmware or anything of the like.. if its unlocked and capable they could probably activate it.. if not then it wont work or u might have some stuff work n other stuff not..
good luck on the switch.. we'll all be under the new tmobile soon enough lol
