I can't seem to find up to date info on this.
I have a USA Sprint Galaxy S6, unlocked from the Sprint network. (definitely is). I want to give it to somebody to use with their MetroPCS USA account. I'm getting mixed messages about whether this is possible. Can somebody please settle this and if it is workable, point me to where and how please?
Thank you very much.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get any more than EDGE data on a GT-N7108 (Chinese version) in the US on ATT/StraightTalk or any other network?
My buddy just got one from overseas, and using my 4G LTE ATT sim card was able to just get EDGE, playing with various APN settings didn't help.
Looking at the tech specs I see it does not have the 850MHz frequency in the spec sheet, and has some differences for some other data services.
If anyone knows what is possible, please let me know.

Hi Everyone and thanks in advance,
I have a T-Mo Galaxy S4 that was SIM unlocked through unlockerDotnet.
I've heard that the T-Mo S4 is better than AT&T for a variety of reasons, but more importantly that it picks up all of T-Mobiles HSPA+ along with AT&T's network. So in theory, having it sim unlocked, I could fully utilize t-mobile's service and at&t's service to their full potential. Can anyone confirm this?
Reason I ask was I was speaking with a TMO rep once and he said the international unlocked version wouldn't pick up on the full spectrum of TMO frequencies, but it should be fine with AT&T. Ideally I want to get into a situation where I have the option to jump between the two through their full spectrum, or any mvno's that use their towers as well.
Thanks for the clarification! Details and specifics appreciated!

T-Mobile's phone will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile however im not sure if the 4g LTE will work on AT&T's Network but either way you will only be able to use one or the other at any one time.
Anyone using Sprint S6 or S6 Edge on Ting? (tried searching with no results)
Also, can a Sprint S6 be unlocked for both domestic and international use and still be usable on Sprint or Ting's networks?

Just call Ting, I'm sure that they will advise you about it. I do know that text messaging in Canada is free though.
I just wish they could provide a SIM where I could use the S6 not only on Ting's Sprint CDMA, but also Ting's T-Mobile GSM network like the Nexus phones can on Google's MVNO service.
S6 Sprint CDMA to GSM
My brother handed me a Sprint S6 that he paid off and said was unlocked by Sprint OTA. He wants to use it with Consumer Cellular or Straightalk GSM service. He also has the unlock code provided by Sprint. Since this is currently on a CDMA network, can it be modified by flashing another rom, to GSM. I know the phone is capable of using both network types but realistically can it be done. If so how ??
Thanks in advance for your expertise
A quick forum search will answer your question
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
