Yeah someone definitively needs to post a tutorial i will donate $10 for tutorial.
Head over to usgalaxys3.com. The owner of that site has already posted instructions to flash it to Cricket.
I'm in no way affiliated with that site, just sharing where I saw the instructions.

The radio hardware matters, it has to be compatible with 1900 mhz Sprint PCS band. But the other things like GPU don't matter. lol

Virgin uses Sprint towers so band is the same.
Anyone know how to flash Sprint GS3 to Virgin? Or will Epic Touch method work with GS3?

Bottomline - You cannot use GSM phone on a CDMA network unless it is a global phone and supports both GSM and CDMA as well as the frequencies of the carrier you intend to use.
That is an obvious spam post. Please people, there are no exceptions... you CANNOT take a Sprint or Verizon phone and unlock it to be used on ANY service that is GSM or uses a SIM card. Period. The unlock sites will just take your money. World band phones will already be unlocked for use on European GSM networks most of the time so no unlock code is needed overseas.

You can flash it to another carrier though.
Not if the carrier is GSM or uses a SIM card. There is no possibility. Whatsoever. And unless you know a network level technician on verizon, you are limited to the smaller regional carriers and prepaid services to flash a Sprint phone. And vice versa for a Verizon phone. They will not connect a phone that does not already have its ESN already in its system.

Its common knowledge about gsm and cdma,if you dont know what these are then you have no business flashing carriers.
Sprint phones can be flashed to almost all prepaid carriers,overseas cdma is less common however there are ways out there to even flash cdma phone to their carriers.My father in Ukraine had his Epic 4g flashed to a carrier that uses sim cards,so there are ways even overseas.I think some overseas carriers use both cdma and gsm.
Until recently I have been with Sprint. And I am located in South Florida.
I am considering going with Simple Mobile as I'm told that T-Mobile has one of the best data speeds in this area. And I want to get a Galaxy S3 as the phone to use with this service.
Can anyone here advise as to whether this would work with Simple Mobile (I called them but they won't say anything only that they don't don't support it - meaning they don't sell it so don't bother them), at what speeds?
I also assume that I must get the T-Mobile version of this phone. That seems quite difficult unless I want to pay a big premium to T-Mobile, who charges much more than say AT&T for their version. So if anyone has any suggestions where I can get one (I would prefer a store, not eBay)?
Thanks
try the xda marketplace
edit: nvm just saw you dont have enough posts.
I read that the Sprint variant of the S3 would work on T-Mobile. You just have to unlock the phone I believe.

I remember negri sells the phone for $599 unlocked. That's the cheapest I've seen for the TMobile version. It's not cheaper by much but it's unlocked and you may save on taxes.

Sprint is cdma and T-Mobile is GSM. How are you going to stick a sim card in that sprint phone?

Simple Mobile is a Mvno of t-mobile so you don't need to have an unlocked T999. Just change the apn. A's far as speeds. I live in Central Florida and I get the same speeds as t-mobile. I recommended. As far as where to buy the phone. I went to t-mobile and paid $599 for it. Haven't really seen it cheaper.

It does have a sim slot but it's not user accessible.
It's hidden behind the plastic under the battery.
Sprint has taken this approach with all there LTE devices.
The only exception may be the Photon Q since it's touted as being a global device.

Hi guys,
My friend bought an incredible 2 and paid to have it sim unlocked. He put his at&t go phone sim in it and it doesn't recognize the sim in gsm mode nor does it even register in global mode. I did a search on Google and got yes and no answers on whether this is possible. I figure no one would know better than an xda guy, so any help is appreciated.
Phone is also rooted and s-off if that matters/helps on the newest rooted ota.
Thanks in advance!

Technically speaking yes it should work but the phone will only be able to use the edge network due to limitations on the inc2 being built mainly for cdma network. I would try a different carriers SIM card to test. It is possible the unlock didn't work. I have seen a few people on here using the phone with tmobile which is almost the same network.

Dkstunna's cm9 has working gsm 3g if I remember right
So it is just a matter of flashing a rom that will support it? I see that a few roms say they support GSM. I read somewhere that verizon blocked the radio in the phone from getting AT&T signal, is that true and if so would I need to flash a different radio for it to work? Data does not matter, he mainly uses it for talk and text (why he got an incred 2 for just talk and text is beyond me)

Its not blocked, the phone just doesn't pick up the right band or frequency to get gsm 3g on certain networks, all the different type of data and voice use their own frequency range and our phone can't pick up the right band to get it, our radio is not made for it.

I have rooted and have mine s-off. Prior to doing this Verizon gave me the unlock code for GSM as I travel overseas. I am running aeroevan's cm9 on it and recently tried the local GSM providers SIM here in Wyoming (Union Cellular) in the phone. I switched the network to GSM and it picked up nothing at all. I have used this overseas with a Movistar SIM and have had voice and SMS. Some how I wonder if there is something built in that blocks GMS when the phone can receive a CDMA signal from Verizon.

Yes but not always the case. It most be one of these. Google is your friend
The handset is a dual-band EV-DO Rev A (850/1900MHz), quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900MHz), and dual-band HSDPA (900/2100MHz) device
So, this is more complicated thant i tought. I was under the impression that I could prety much unlock my phone to work with any companie.
Called Telus ( I want to sell my T-989, and found a Rogers buyer)
They told me they could unlock it but that it wouldnt work since Telus is on a HSPA network and Rogers is on a GSM...
Any way to get around this by flashing a different modem ??
Or am I stuck to sell it to a compatible network buyer?
I have this phone unlocked and it works fine on Rogers. It just can't do the hspa+ speeds so it would be stuck on 3G.
So basically don't worry, the phone works fine on gsm carrier's.
Also for future reference Telus is using a CDMA network but the T989 supports both CDMA and GSM.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
That is great news. Only thing is that Telus want to charge me 35$ for the process.
Are the online websites that offer that kind of service trustable ??
Iv'e seen a website think its like cellphonecanada blabla something like that. 20$ for the unlock.
I got mine unlocked at a local mall for 20 bucks. Perhaps try that?

Double wrong. Verizon has a different RADIO frequency than AT&T and/or T-Mobile. It is impossible to update/change the radio for a sim on att/tmobile for it to work on Verizon phone. Like said before: Verizon is CDMA (code division network based) AT&T/T-MOBILE is GSM (global system network) now let me Synthesise, IMPOSSIBLE for the simcard to work in Verizon phone with out the appropriate radio for the network!

some of the verizon phones are "world phones" and have both gsm and cdma. all verizon lte phones have a sim card but only some have gsm. I don't know anything about the verizon s3 but you would be better off asking in the verizon s3 forums.

Yes you can, see this right now you can only get E speed on it. My S3 is actually flashed to Pageplus and I can use it with any GSM carrier here in the US, it's fairly easy to do but like I said you only get "Edge" speed for now. I've use Net10, Simplemobile and StraightTalk, any GSM will work you can also flash to other CDMA like Metro, Cricket or Pageplus.

See... This is what happens when a ignoramus tries to be smart .. You don't know what you're saying.. It is a proven fact that you can't put a GSM into a NON-gsm phone and expect it to work! (i tried it.. And it failed.. Invalid sim[in a unlocked vzw phone])

yes but havent tried
there are several places saying it is totally possible and ive called verizon trying to see what they would say and the answer i got, at least for out of the country GSM, is that the S3 comes "unlocked already" and you just put in the sim card from whatever out of country carrier you want. apparently that came with the 4.1.2 update to the phone. Now putting with a us carrier might be different but i cant try it because i have my phone flashed to metropcs and i cant just put a metro sim card in it. here a few places i found just by looking on google

U actually can use the Verizon variant s3 on tmobiles network as the s3 is a world phone, now here's where and why most ppl don't, Verizon's network is CDMA as we all know and T-Mobile is a gsm network, so with the s3 being a world phone it can be used on a gsm network but u will never see 4g or even real 3g speeds, Verizon's s3 doesn't have the ability to pick up anything but "E", edge speeds on T-Mobile so is it really worth it? Not in my opinion, if I'm going to blget an s3 I want the full functionality of the devices capabilities, just saying though lol

I can say with some certainty that u will not see 4g using a Verizon variant s3 on T-Mobile network, yes its a world phone and yes u can get it to "work" on T-Mobile but it doesn't have the right kind of internal for gsm 4g network speeds, the most u will see out of it is E or edge, 2g speeds, at least until the towers get updated

I can't say for certainty but as of right now any unlocked world phone from a CDMA based network will only pick up 2g or edge network speeds, it may say 3g or even 4g but believe me unless ur in an area where towers have been remapped u will not see anything above 2g ,maybe base 3g ,only because the radio isn't designed to pick up the gsm frequency, now in the near future cdma will be phased out so u may be able to get 4g in the future but not as of now
