So I have flashed to wm6 many times and to do that, you need to SuperCID the phone. Now I know this is an unlocking function, but does this mean that the phone is not able to be used under any other network other then T Mobile (which is where I got it from)?
Other way around. Unlocking the phone makes it able to be used under *any* GSM network, instead of being locked to TMobile's network.
I may have my facts a little off, as I'm a n00b too, but I'm pretty sure SuperCID allows you to use any provider's SIM card instead of just theirs - a process that's totally different from Application Unlocking.

Yep. Good answer.
Whops, I didn't mean to put "not" in there, but you still answered my question so thanks a lot
Any help would be appreciated...
Im a Sprint customer and my contract ends in May, I have learned to hate it... I want to change over to the AT&T Tilt phone... I been reading a lot about mods and unlocking this phone, etc. I understand that unlocking the phone allows me to use it on different networks but how does that really affect things.. what other service providers would support this phone? How does unlocking the phone and using it on another network work in relation to internet access, etc. Would it be that all Im doing is just giving myself the option to use this phone but with a plan from another company? Should I even worry about unlocking it? Just looking for some clear explanation of things.. thanks in advance
an unlocked tilt will work on any gsm network
and internet will work depending on the network both sittingwise
and speedwise
OK, so I am not an expert here but I know enough to give information that should help answer my question.
I have a Verizon (CDMA) Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535). I'd like to use this phone with a NET10 BYOD SIM card, but I'm not sure it will work. By all indications, my phone is a world phone that includes a GSM band. I say that because I can scan and attempt to connect to both AT&T and a local cell company that are both GSM services. In other words, I can select GSM/UMTS as a network option and it appears to work.
Trouble is, I don't have access to a GSM SIM, so there isn't any way for me to test this without spending money on the SIM card. SO in a round about way, I want to know if this will work. Can I buy a NET10 BYOD SIM, select GSM/UMTS under "Mobile Networks" in teh settings, and expect phone, text, and data to work?
I'm especially hoping to hear from people with the SCH-I535 Verizon GS3 if you've ever done this.
If this is not possible, is there any other BYOD SIM program that will allow for phone, text, and data in a CDMA Verizon phone? If so, what is it?
Thanks everyone.
If Verizon has not unlocked the phone off their carrier, then it will not work. (If you have the Jelly Bean Update, then its unlocked) If it is unlocked, then your in luck.
Mind you that I dont have this phone. But your phone is capable of ATT networks. Just avoid T-Mobile networks unless you want to be on EDGE.

Just to make sure I understand, if my phone is Android 4.1.2, then my phone is automatically unlocked and capable of use with an AT&T compatible SIM? And I suppose that includes the NET10 BYOD SIM, or the Straight Talk BYOD SIM for that matter?
How i Just do it con net 10 And is working but just edge .any suggestions settings to enable 4g ???

Did you check your song settings? Make sure you have your phone on global mode as well.
Hello I am a total newb with switching providers from Tmobile To Consumer Cellular or Att network. I tried using the Sd card that Consumer sent me for my plan and I can't seem to figure out how to switch it to that provider from a non working tmobile network phone. Any one know how to unlock and what else I would need to do to make this phone work with the new provider. Thanks

So this is kind of weird, I recently received a sim card for my E-5, It's a second hand phone that I bought ebay "Unlocked", I used it for a few years with a provider on the Sprint Network, now T-mobile, nothing owed free and clear. My current carrier is telling me based on the fact that the APN are greyed out and same for network controllers with the sim card inserted that the phone has "network restrictions" meaning it's locked to the last network which would be Sprint, I can confirm that since I still have the old sim card and it says sprint on it and when it's inserted there is a signal just no network. I contacted the previous provider and they said I need to contact Sprint to get it unlocked, Sprint has the most stringent requirements to unlock, the tech support at my current provider said I could also do a factory reset and that should remove the network restriction, but I don't want to do a reset if it doesn't work and I have a feeling that's BS. So my question is what's the best way to make my phone work on any network, do I need to root it and than debrand it? I'm a total newb to this part of phone modding, so if someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it as I have been without cell service for a couple of months now since I lost my other phone. Thanks
