How hard is it? I've googled around on my phone but couldn't find anything. Does it require a flashing utility?

They both piggy back off of Verizon, so it shouldn't be too hard. Did you try calling them and asking?

Well seems like you know a bit. Let me ask this:
When I put my hometown zip in at cricket, it only displays a few phones. Zte score being one of them which runs off sprint and there is sprint coverage in my hometown.
When I put the zipcode in for where I live now, there are more choices. Like the huawei mercury. Would that mean that maybe the mercury runs off Verizon?

Sprint and Verizon use the same bands. There's a roaming agreement between them to cover gaps. 4G networks between them are different, however. I'm only saying that the two companies use Verizon's network to run on.

At&t has good coverage, in exchange for your wallet and first born.
Att is not that bad if you have a friend/buddy right you up on a corporate discount. I'm saving 20% by "working" for Coke.
Ahh, too true. I've known some buddies employed with them. Amazing discounts. And they do let you have android devices now, instead of just the iPhone.

Did you use your SIM card from your Atrix? I'm thinking about doing it since I have an iPhone 2g laying around, but I'm not sure if it'll work with my SIM card that already has a data plan.
But I'm still waiting to see if I even use all of the data I can. There is no point in spending an extra $5/month on something I don't need.
I was grandfathered in from an iPhone plan. Yay me
the iphone 2g is the only phone that will force att to give you unlimited internet. but back in January att said they will allow all prior att iphone customers to get unlimited back on there contract (provided it is the same number/contract) had they removed the feature at any time.
so I'm pretty glad I had an iphone. even if I had to deal with all the bs like no mms, no tethering unless it was jail broken, no video, crappy camera that didn't work indoors or if it was cloudy without a tripod. wow that phone sucked for the first couple years. but I'm glad I had it.
This is interesting.

Might I suggest that you instead send him your SIM? Much less chance of something bad happening to an expensive (and still somewhat useful) bit of technology that way

Maybe they should create a phone that can actually compete with new android devices like the Evo 3d, now thats competition! In America "Competition means good business."

At&t is supposed to be getting it. But it doesnt look like there is any s2 branded for tmobile, or at least that supports tmobile AWS bands. You can order one unlocked and put your tmboile sim in it, but it will only work for voice and 2g/edge data. Even with that limitation...ive been thinking of buying one anyways, or the single core at&t infuse 4g and just unlock it and put my sim in it and live with the 2G data. Dont think i have the balls to live with 2g tho.
On another note, im guessing Tmobile USA isnt getting it because of the Hercules thats supposed to be released in September which is supposed the be like the s2 on steroids. lol.
I need to buy something new. The fact there are much more powerful phones out there even though i love my gs4g...is killing me softly...lol

I'm in the DC area, haven't gotten to try my GS3 on the Metro (maybe tonight), but if it's anything like when I had my T-Mobile G2, the GS3 should work even better. In some of the busier stations my G2 would actually get full "4G" service, so I'm assuming that my Verizon GS3 would get full service as well since Verizon was already a working network in the Metro system well before they started adding cell stations for other carriers to work.
I'm in NOVA but travel to DC often, you shouldn't worry at all man. I get full 4g on the metro and mostly everywhere else in DC.

Weird thing is the dbm score is not that great.. But areas where I never had 4g gives me 4g very consistently and I have literally not had 1 drop call since I got this phone (June 29th)

I'm a field tech for Rogers in the Montreal area. Don't think it's a question of just installing the technology. You have to remember this is a very difficult fiscal year for us, budgets are cut like you wouldn't believe. We had to cut down on everything because of the 700 freq bid next year. There's no point in expanding drastically because if we get a part of that 700mhz freq, we will have to reconfigure a lot of sites. The equipment can do 700mhz but the antennas can't. With the current 2100/2600mhz set-up right now, that's a lot of sites my friend!
So the expansion has slowed down a lot over the last few months and no the iPhone 5 won't help your cause
EDIT: also, when we test a new technology, we don't bring it on air for all to see and shut it down after. We test it in reserve mode, our SIMs are class 15 which allows us to access a reserved network.
