I'm sick of my Sprint service dropping calls and would like to switch to Verizon. I can stomach the ETF, but new phones aren't in the budget for now. I have a Motorola XPRT and an HTC Evo 4G. Can these be activated on Verizon's 3G network? Would I need to root / install CyanogenMod? 4G isn't a priority.
Thanks!
Verizon won't enter the ESN into their billing system. You could get a prepaid from verizon then use CDMA workshop to copy the settings to your Xpert BUT cdma workshop will cost you 108 bucks.
you MIGHT be able to use the EVO 4G but you will not get EVDO data to work from what I have been reading.

Does anyone know how to enable the SIM card for US 3G networks? And if so, which networks work (ATT or T-Mobile or Both)? I just want to know because I'm about to go off contract with Verizon and I want to go prepaid on a major carrier.
Here is my problem...
I have 2 months in my sprint contract & need a smart phone that can use sprints wimax. I'm going to switch to at&t unlimted go phone after & would like to use the same phone to get at&t's LTE speed here in Las Vegas.
Do I have any options?
I would hate to buy a wimax phone for 2 months then buy another for for At&t LTE.
Also at&t unlimited go plan includes LTE correct??
Is it possible to switch from StraightTalk to Tracfone (Prepaid) on a rooted LG Optimus Extreme? If so, how?
Straight Talk and Tracfone are basically the same company. The concern is the type of network the two phones are functioning on. I think Tracfone is GSM only, where Straight Talk provides both GSM and CDMA phones. If the phone needs to be unlocked that process could cause you to lose root. If the carrier on your Extreme is AT&T or T-Mobile you should be ok though.
For photon Q, I want use voice and text from sprint and data from redpocket(AT&T or T-mobile mvno) at the same time, is it possible?
Thanks!
Well, you'd have to do the SIM card mod in order to get AT&T or tmo (or a mvno which is GSM) tow work on the device... and I'm pretty sure that would break Sprint's LTE.
However, I believe Sprint's basic services would still work. Have I done this to test? Nope! So I'm just speculating.
@Skrilax_CZ - how does your Q function stateside?
You had to unlock it for AT&T and use QPST to disable auto switch to CDMA. I wasn't Sprint customer (Sprint = extremely sucky carrier), I suppose it will be no LTE for you, but you'll be able to switch between GSM and CDMA freely.
Hi folks,
I live in a black hole of cellular signal. The only provider that has towers where I live is Verizon. I drive 45 minutes to work every day and over there both Verizon and AT&T have towers. I'm currently using a small, local carrier that uses Verizon towers and phones. I bought a Nexus 6 and want to activate it on straight talk. I thought I could use the IMEI from my existing phone, since it's a Verizon phone, but they say it's not compatible. They say they can activate it as a GSM phone, but I've read that if I activate it as a GSM device, it will not connect to Verizon towers so would basically be useless where I live. However, that doesn't really make sense to me since the Nexus 6 has both CDMA and GSM radios in it.
Does anyone know if I activate a GSM sim and pop it in my Nexus 6 if it will connect to Verizon towers? We do have LTE here, if that makes a difference Thanks for any help you can provide!.
Verizon network will only use CDMA but you could still use it in roaming
