If I unlock my phone can my company know I'm using a s3?

Sorry, maybe its just me today, but the question just doesn't make sense to me.
Unlocking simply lets you use the phone on another carriers network. How or why would your company care what model your cell is?

Because when it is not unlocked some companies require you or automatically puts u into a data plan.
So my question -
Can your company detect what phone you are using if it is unlocked?

When you say "your company" do you mean your carrier or cellular provider, such as T-Mobile or AT&T?
If that's what you mean then yes, they are usually able to tell what kind of phone you are using.

I don't think they'll make you get a data plan if you bring your own phone, and can't you cancel the data after a while?

Cause my company T-Mobile didn't know what phone I was using so they had to ask me.

If I buy an unlocked ATT SG3 and place my current ATT simcard inside of the device will ATT be aware of my phone change? I.e. will ATT know which phone I am using?
On T-Mobile they can tell, your account should know what phone you are on. Although they know, I don't think the do anything about it.

There is a way to unlock the phone but i fear that these roms are catered to 4g lte and simply mobile is only 4g will that affect service as far as data or email and text etc? Will it even work at all?

No lmao. If u dont know the difference between att radios and tmobile radios, then id advise u not to even bother with rooting and flashing. U can only get and will only get EDGE/2G data speeds. Period

Im thinking about selling my s3 from sprint. I was looking to get a s3 from Tmobile from Craigslist. If i active it will it with a sim card i get from walmart will it work if the previous owner has a previous balance? Because I won't know until I get the phone then get the card because people lie on the Internet sometimes to get stuff sold.

As long as its not blacklisted you'll be fine.

He owes money to t mobile for the phone?
Tmo will most likely block it after a while if the remaining balance isn't paid off for the phone.

It won't work lol what you can do is call T-Mobile and give them the iemi and they'll tell you if its good or not.

Best advice I've heard is to go to the T-Mobile store with the person and have the rep there confirm the details (such as if they owe money). And have them add the phone to your account and/or make a note about it.

Now that my phone is unlocked on T-Mobile do I install ROM for T-Mobile or stay with ROM for ATT

You Must install roms from the company you got the phone from. Doesn't matter if you go to another carrier. If you don't install AT&T roms on an AT&T phone, you will brick your phone!

Hey guys so I found a GS4 a while ago and I unlocked it but when I turn it on I can't connect to T-Mobile network but it does connect to AT&T. So long story short I took it to the cellphone shot where I unlocked it and he told me that in order to make it work for T-Mobile he had to clone the GSM. Does anyone here ever heard of that and is it even possible

its because its blacklisted on tmobile, because it was reported as lost. I know what they want to do to get it to work, and it is illegal and can not be discussed on XDA.
Thanks I just wanted to know what that means. I never heard of it and I wanted to know what in the heck was that .

I think it means " return to its rightful owner! "
I'm just sayin!

Don't be a ****. When you found the phone, you took it away from someone who has lost it. Return the phone to its rightful owner. Go through the contacts and find a contact for 'Mom' or something of the sort to get closer to finding the owner.
Don't worry guys I just gonna go to T-Mobile and turn it in I can't even use it anyway and I am due for a upgrade by November. I still don't know what in heck is that

What it is, is that they clone the IMEI of a good phone and use it on that one. This is highly illegal. As for deleting it. I will close it.
