Hi,
I was wondering if it is at all possible to use an unlocked Sprint version of the Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile's network and still have all of the functionality?
No. Sprint uses cdma technology like Verizon. T-Mobile uses gsm like at&t and the rest of the world

This. The CDMA version on Sprint doesn't have a SIM card slot unfortunately. I've read that it has an internal SIM card hardwired into the motherboard, etc.
Sprint SGS 3. Note the missing SIM card slot.

I have been looking for a galaxy s3 to replace my e4gt flashed to page plus.... And i talked to a guy in class today wanting to sell his. Idk how muxh but i was looking. No sim card slot? So does that mean s3 4g is wimax like e4gt or is it lte and maybe sim is locked inside phone needing disassembly to get out?

The US Sprint GS3 SIM card is not removable its on the inside of the phone if I remember correctly. And is/will never be capable of receiving WiMax 4G just LTE.

Not worried about it.. Just curious if i could simply flash to page plus like the e4gt... Or if i have to lock it into 3g only mode and such

Hello, I just recently got an unlocked I317 and was wondering what the best configuration would be with straight talk, I have both a t-mobile (trimmed to micro) sim and an AT&T micro sim. I did the qcf hack to enable AWS but it didn't appear to work well with my rom of choice (MIUI). and I was wondering if I should just switch to my AT&T micro or stick with the t-mobile. and If I stick with the T-mobile then how can I resolve the MIUI issue? Is there a Kernel that has the AWS bands unlocked that will work with MIUI?
These are the ATT settings

Well that is unhelpful as he is asking about the AWS meaning he has the TMOBILE straight talk sim he`s wanting to work.
Oddly enough after a data wipe, i got the data .

I am having Samsung Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G CDMA which has no SIM. But I am leaving now in Europe. Is it possible to change hardware that this phone will support SIM?
Or I can just throw this phone away because it is useless now.
EDIT:
I get answer from the provider:
Net Frequency: GSM 900/1800, W-CDMA 2100
can I use it with this phone?
thx

It makes a nice mp3 player, but otherwise you are out of luck. It is not a world phone.
No. You can't change it to a GSM phone.

I have Verizon wireless galaxy s3 and it is completely flashed with "Omni" ROM. Today, I switched from Verizon service to T-mobile service. It is working with Calls, But data always in "E" edge network. How can I get LTE or 4G network on Verizon galaxy s3 with T-Mobile SIM card?
I think I have right APN settings?

Probably not possible. If im not mistaken, T-Mobile uses different bands than Verizon and each carriers device is made to use their frequencies.
You can't for the reason doc said.. The apn you want is the LTE one, try the other T-Mobile apns but I doubt it will pick up..
Just as others have stated, it is because the phone does not support the freqencies that T-mobile uses. I have read in a few forums where people have reported better than Edge in certain areas where T-Mobile has refarmed. I too had a SCH-i535 on the T-Mo network for awhile, so I know your pain. That is why I sold my SCH-I535 in favor of the T999L.
Has it been confirmed that it will support Volte?
Specifically on T-Mobil
Thanks
Yes
This is actually something I wanted to know as well. I am currently on Sprint with a Note 4 and absolutely need wifi-calling as I am in a dead zone. Sprint wifi-calling is a no-go for unlocked devices so I will most likely be switching to t-mobile to take advantage of their support.
Google stated wifi calling will work out of the box for tmo and vzw and possibly other carriers as they make it available.
The nexus 6p does wifi calling as well on tmo, but not sure about VoLTE.

How about on AT&T? Looks like I'm going to have to bail on my Note 7 replacement. (I'm not scared it will blow up, but AT&T and Sumsung keep sending me annoying reminders to shut it down all the time.)
