Can this phone be unlocked and used with at&t?

Yes it can. Just get an unlock code from T-Mobile or ebay and it will. You won't get 3G speeds, though. Only 2G/EDGE.

Nope, T-Mobile is a GSM carried and Verizon is CDMA. This phone is only built with a GSM radio.

Doesn't it use AWS? That means technically you could put it on carriers like Cricket and Metro PCS then right?
Nope. Get a droid charge

AWS?
It can be used on any GSM carrier from what I know. I mean, I'm on AT&T.
What do you mean nope? Why
Couldn't you just change the settings to metro pcs or cricket like you can with the evo?

Really? I sure as hell didnt know my phone was GSM. You seem to be missing the question completely.
Unless you have a world band phone that has cdma bands plus gsm bands it wont work Verizon blackberries have cdma+gsm some did should i say. Hince why you could go overseas and roam off vodaphone phone also had sim card.
but to answer the queston no
samsung glaxy s gsm no cdma not even compatable with 4g lte
as far as cricket and metro pcs they dont use sim cards so no way to activate the phone on the network.
What is wcdma? My phone says gsm/wcdma

On the moon our weekend are so advanced they encompass the entire week
simply put its not going to hapen end of story... unless verizon goes gsm... doubtfull
Verizon won't go GSM. If they did, it'd be pretty stupid anyway. CDMA implementations seem to be better than GSM.
WCDMA is a worldwide band for connectivity, I believe.

Unlock the phone. Look into simple Mobile. The money you save is more than enough to make up the fees of breaking a contact.

Unlocking the phone will allow you to use sim cards from other networks. My phone is unlocked and allows me to use att. I also was able to use prepaid Sim cards when I was in Japan.

Look into simple mobile, great plans, unlimited everything 60 bucks flat no tax, 4g. If you can access Tmobile lines were you are you can use simple mobile.same towers.
I May be mistaken, but you should be able to use Tmobile prepaid without unlocking.

well if your still looking in too t-mobile they have a nice view of prepaid plans 50$ gets talk txt and web Unlimited all you need too do is go in too a t-mobile store and buy a prepaid sim and u can do it from your phone or computer. u can pay your bill when its time by buying the phone cards or a CC.

I found a GS3 on craigslist for $175 and was thinking about snatching it. The phone was originally AT&T but it is factory unlocked. Will this work just fine on Verizon and will I still be able to get the same 4G LTE?
No, the hardware isn't there for that as far as data goes.

So basically no other carriers GS3 would be suitable for Verizon other than a Verizon GS3? Or is there another carriers GS3 that is suitable for Verizon's 4G LTE?

The phone should work if it is unlocked, however, data will be slow. Also, not sure how the new law affects it.....

AT&T runs on the gsm network. Verizon runs a CDMA network. Gotta have radios that can talk to the network....

I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy s2 i777. But I have it with Walmart Family Mobile service which doesnt offer 3g/4g. Its Gsm unlocked and I don't pay for 4g. So if I want to use internet, either I use my regular network, or I have to use a local unlocked wifi. Is there any way to force unlock, or somehow use my 4g? My phone is rooted if that helps.
If you don't get 4G from your carrier. You can't hack service.

I assumed as much, Thank you for confirming it though
Which version of S6/Edge are you buying?
Which version is usually better for unlocking/rooting? Which versions are better for updates?
i know stay away from the AT&T/Verizon models. I'm currently on T-Mobile. Will the international version have all the bands for T-Mo LTE?
I'm on att but I'll probably buy the tmobile version. Bootloader unlocked, no carrier logos and little bloat.

Do you know how warranty works if we buy the T-Mobile version (to use on AT&T)?
Thanks.
No I'm not sure. I assume you could go through Samsung.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
How updates work if using unlocked int'l? Do you get them when AT&T and TMo push them out, or when the Int'l is being pushed out? Reason I'm asking is cause I may go unlocked to be free from carrier bloatware.
