S3 4g wimax or lte? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

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

[Q] Sprint Epic 4G Touch (NY,USA) Baseband

My rooting went horribly wrong.
I admit, I rushed it, was sleep deprived, and inpatient.
Right now, my phone looks very much like stock BUT
My issue is: I have no provider set on my phone. In other words, its as if my phone is unable to connect to Sprint's network.

When I try to update the PRL from system updates, below is the result...
I used some combination of the following files:
SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse
S2Root_1.4.3_Release
Litening_Rom_v6-1.rar
acs-eb30-clockwork-epic-touch-4g-sep-20-4-00-pm.tar
EG30-Stock-OdexV2.zip
Stock-EG30.tar
At this point, what would be the fastest way to get my phone into a state in which it is once again recognized by Sprint

Why does my phone keep disconnecting!?!

This is ridiculous sometimes its so bad it happens every 5 minutes while on my phone! This is the worst service I've ever had with a Verizon phone in the 13 years I've been with them.
It literally happened as I am typing this on my nexus.

Verizons network crashed yesterday, and you could still have an issue in your area. I had only 3g this morning in a strong 4g area.
I dont know about verizon, but there were 3.7 million android devices activated on christmas alone, so im sure this is just growig pains

This happened to me yesterday also on VZ. Fortunately, 4G and 3G are back up and running smoothly in AZ

[Q] GSM GNexus showing 4G?! Not n00by, just nosy ;) And curios...

Hey guys! I'm running Jack Pham AOKP 35 (All pirated apps removed)
It's a nice ROM (apart from the pirated apps), but since I updated, it shows 4G... I know for a fact, that my network operator has got LTE masts, but then again, my phone is GSM, see where my problem is? The internet speed hasn't changed, nor the quality, so I'm thinking it's a mod in the ROM, tricking people, into thinking, they've got 4G, but they're running on HSPA+...
Here is the screenshot:

Download link is here
I'm new to AOKP, so I don't want to search and mod myself, yet... (I on't know, if the code is different, than on/in AOSP)
The GSM does not have lte radio. That rom just decided to change the icon to 4g.
they've just taken the "4G" icon from an LTE ROM and put it on the GSM ROM when you're connected to HSPA+.

Activate a new SIM card

Was just on sprints site and dont remember seeing this. Wats the deal??

IPhone 5's were having sim card issues. Probably that.

Sprint doesnt use sim cards i think is what he meant.. sprint stoped years ago. And if iphone 5 uses sim card, just shows apples a cheap f thats to lazy to make a sprint version

Ya that's the Jist of it. Figures its iCrap related. Of course the iphone can have a sim on sprints network, While everyone else cant
Sims are way more secure also.. but also makes phone companys lose money.. dont have to activate when you take your sim out of a 10 year old phone and put it in a new phone

Carrier unlock sprint version?

Is there anyway? or no?
Not like GSM phones with a SIM card, but you can flash it to prepaid carriers such as Boost, Virgin Mobile, Page Plus, Ting, and others. There are guides in the General section on how to do this.

Which carrier are you interested in going with? Straight Talk now has a program called 'Bring Your Own Phone' and they let you bring certain devices from other networks over to their network with no hassle. I was searching for ways to flash my old Sprint Epic 4G Touch to Straight Talk last night, and then discovered that all you have to do is call them, pay a network access fee ($15) and they'll activate it on their network.
Don't quote me on this, but I think the $15 is for an "activation" and it is $50 to flash over. That is how it was for cricket at least, but I flashed it by myself for the person I sold the phone to. Honestly not near as hard as I thought it would be,
