I'm buying a refurbished Xoom off best buy with a model #rf-motmz600 so I'm assuming its the stingray. I would like to know if its possible to use an att sim card since its gsm compatible? I'm completely new to tablets so any help would be great.

I don't think the stingray is gsm compatible. You'd need a MZ601* (everest) to use it w/ an ATT sim.
* there are other model numbers for the everest-xoom but I am not positive which... (not MZ600, 602, 604)
Alright thanks dude!

Can I put in skyrocket for example and utilize LTE?

you will get signal. but you won't get LTE
I put my infuse sim into my htc tilt2 and it works fine but no 4g
Yes you can and it will work. I took the SIM card from my old iPhone 3GS and it worked fine with LTE in my Skyrocket. I got download speeds of up to 52Mbps and upload speeds of 23Mbps.
Some older SIMs are not LTE compatible, specifically, the 9th and 10th digit of the ICCID (sim card number) has to be 2 and 5 for it to be compatible with LTE. That being said, you can use an LTE-compatible SIM in any GSM handset...

This dude has no idea what he is talking about. My sim in my skyrocket is from my infuse and was also in my inspire. Works perfect.

You may. It might work. It might explode. AT&T might get after you for crashing their towers.

Where do u find this information? I have a tmo sim with digits 7 & 2 and its working fine on LTE.........
You will get signal, but its highly unlikely that you will get LTE. I had an atrix 2 then switched to the atrix HD and I had to go to the ATT store to get my sim changed. It cost me nothing.
So... I bought an unlock code because ATT was being an asshat and refused to give me an unlock code despite their promise to give me one.
I bought the code from cellunlocker, and I've tried all the methods except using a different sim. They all give me the same result: "The old pin you typed is not correct".
Do I have to use a different sim or is something terribly wrong with my phone? I'm going to China next week and I plan to use my phone.
Different Sim. Non att Sim

Tmo or simple mobile. Simple mobile sims are just a dollar on ebay or about 2-5 in craigslist. That is of course if you dont have friends on tmo.

Hi ya all.... was wondering if my current Verizon's MZ600 which has not been upgraded to the 4G LTE modem yet would accept an MZ601 3G GSM modem... or any other...?? And then i could sbf via rsd lite or flash the MZ601 files on to it....
Practical...??? Cos i didnt know about the different versions before i bought the verizon xoom... i live outside the US...

I don't think so.. As Verizon Xoom (MZ600) is WCMDA (or CDMA - don't remeber now...) meanwhile MZ601 Xoom is GSM, which are different kind of signal.. Understand what I mean?
Sent from my MZ601 using XDA Premium HD app
yes, i understand that, but what i wanted to know was, what if i interchange the internal radio module of the cdma to the gsm, and the flash the MZ601 sbf on to xoom....
Well, I think one of the problems is the hardware, you have a WCDMA signal driver, and GSM one is different, but I think it worth the try... If not works, just reflash back
Good Luck

I have four Sprint devices [two are GS3s] that I'd like to use on Verizon.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to do something like that?
Verizon says that I can't use a Sprint device, but is it possible to flash something that will make it look like a Verizon device?
Thanks- I need to know whether to try to sell these phones or not.
Don't quote me on this, but I thought Sprint devices had integrated sim cards, only accessible via mods?
Assuming I'm wrong, you'd first need to check that the radio on the sprint variants supports any of Verizon's bandwidths. From there I'm not sure. Maybe flash a Verizon ROM and test? I'll do some research when I get home and let you know if I find anything useful.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Alright, did some reading. From what I can tell, the Sprint GS3 will have limited connectivity at best. The reason being that the radios do not in fact support the same bandwidths.
Verizon's S3 supports:
LTE 750
CDMA 850 / 1900
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
Sprint's S3 supports:
LTE 1900
CDMA 800 / 850 / 1900
US Cellular version adds CDMA 1700, LTE 700/850/1700
Verizon operates on LTE at 750 (mhz?) only, so that's a definite no-go on the LTE. As far as the CMDA 850 matching up - you might get some connectivity, such as voice, maybe 1x data/3g data, but I don't really know enough about the topic to speak with any certainty.
Hope this helps.
You can't anyway because Sprint and Verizon phones are locked because of cdma regulations or something like that.

My Verizon Note 2 is unlocked factory. T mobile sim cards work fine, I've tested it, just no data because the bandwidths aren't supported by the radio.

That's different. Note 2 is hardware unlocked so that you can switch to any carrier or use any rom worldwide thanks to your root method. Not the same for the GSIII. In Adam Outler's first Casual method for Note 2, he has a video explaining just how far unlocked the phone is and what you can flash since the hardware (as in the insides) is unchanged worldwide.

Obviously. Not disputing that - in fact I was more or less observing it. He said that CDMA phones are locked or "something like that" . That statement could be misleading to some, indicating that ALL CDMA phones are locked due to "regulations", when I know for a fact they are not.

They're locked in a way that makes it to where you cannot switch to Sprint if you're using a Verizon phone and voice versa. So they are in fact locked. Not gsm locked though. Cdma phones are locked. Our phones are gsm capable.

I'm filtering though this And i am assuming your question is " Can i use my VERIZON G3 on ATT's Network?"
The Spec's say it should work if it is unlocked ? I don't really do Verizon phones so i can't for sure say it but it does have the GSM bands to support ATT and the LTE bands. I'm sure there are forums out there with this exact question.
