I want to switch my carrier from verizon to TMO and im wondering if anyone here has done it or knows if the vzw n2 will work on TMO? If I set the network to GSM in settings and set the apns to t mobile will everything work ok or is my phone locked somehow by vzw? Thanks

Im reading up on this a bit and I have a feeling that my phone is locked as I am still under contract for my n2. If so would I be able to unlock it with something like in the pic below? Or better yet would I need to unlock it if it is locked to use it on TMO?

This video is a bit annoying but it shows someone doing exactly what I want to do. Now would my phone need to be unlocked to do this as it seems like it will work...

Here you go buddy. This is how you can get your note 2 work and it's free and easy. Couple things though you will only get edge data unless in a reframed area (don't really know how far that's progressed in the last 6 months) also tmo coverage sucks inside buildings so you'll want wifi calling if you spend a lot of time in brick buildings. You can try flashing a tmo ROM (without kernel and modem) to get it, but I don't think that works

Thank you very much. I don't ever use my pc to view xda since I got my n2. The search feature on tapatalk is horrific. I really appreciate it and wish I could thank you 100 times. Have a nice day.

I am using my Google store pixel xl on Verizon. For the preferred network it is set to global by default. Should this be kept global or changed to LTE/CDMA? any difference between the 2 in the US?

Has anyone gotten the Pixel 2 XL from Best Buy or Target at full price without the VZW bloatware? Is it like the Pixel 1 where I can just not put in the SIM?

Got mine from Verizon. There is nothing from Verizon on here. Using it and everything is working on T-Mobile.

Wait, so I could have bought from VZW, gotten trade in bonus on current phone, and then taken to TMo for $325 more off? Doh.
Only 3 bloat apps..

I guess that could have worked. I don't have Verizon service. So I just put my TMO SIM in and start using it.

For now yes..I honestly think Verizon did something. I've seen multiple on swappa with the box still taped. Mine was not. The demo one also had it not grayed out the first day. When I went back it was.

I bought my pixel xl last year from the Google store unlocked and just popped my verizon some from my nexus 6p in it with no issues and did the same with my pixel 2 xl with no issues.

Just got mine from Verizon this morning. My box was taped, pulled sim and booted but unlock bootloader was greyed out.

If you still have not set it all up, and used a Verizon sim try a factory reset.

If you purchased it from Verizon the bootloader is locked. It will always be greyed out. The Google store version is unlockable.
Hey everybody.
All I can do is get the network for a couple of seconds

And exactly what network would that be?
Yes. Been using it on Sprint since October. Don't know how CDMA outside the US is.
