Can anyone tell me what the code is to check if I'm Sim unlocked?

You can use a sim card from another carrier. The sim card Doesn't need to be activated.
*#7465625#

Huh. Then just test with another SIM card. I don't know why you keep FCing.

Non AT&T sim card is the best way to check. If no network unlock prompt then you're good to go.
The 7465625 code doesn't always report correctly on SR.

So should I keep trying it, or will it always FC?

The codes don't always work for all phones. You will be better off trying a different sim. I got a prepaid T-mobile sim at my local mall for $10 and it came with alot of minutes (can't remember how many) or some people claim they have got the prepaid kits from Ebay (don't know about that one).

ok so sim cards are dieing from what people are saying. i am on tbolt #3 and my original sim card . so i have 2 sim cards just chilling should i put a new one or just keep rocking out my first one everything seems to be working ok fresh root and rom but what can i do with the other sim cards and are they only for my phone or could someone else use them and if so i got 2 brand new sim cards for sell or trade lol
You tryin to sell something that us free,and if you sim is working why would you wanna change it?besides that you would have to register the sim card under your number,you got some kinda access to vzw's system?

I didn't know they were free I was just saying, but you have to call an 800 number to set up the sim (activate) just like you had to do to your bolt when you first got it. Why would they send a new sim card with each new phone? Knowing I already had one? verizon and the insurance company. you never know a new 1 might be better my data speed just a thought?

Your sim has nothing to do with speed. You can't sell something that is free.

Why are people paying for them if they are free? Ain't nothing free

They don't always send out a new sim card with replacement phones. They sometimes do it to eliminate the possibly of a bad sim.

I'm pretty sure it would work but you will have to cut the sim card to the micro sim size

You've had an attitude in 2 of your 3 posts in this thread. This is a very new device with extremely limited supply currently.
The biggest problem you might run into is being able to change APNs as in stock AT&T guise they're not accessible. If it.pulls APNs from the network automatically, you should.have no problem.

Ha. I've found the One X community to be extremely noob-tolerant and overall less flamey than every other XDA device forum I've been on.
It seems you've been on here long enough to know to use the search function.
Searching "straight talk" in General yielded a bunch of mentions on the T-Mobile thread. Several people stated it should work. But it doesn't seem that anyone here has tried it, and confirmed it to work yet:

You need to get it carrier unlocked too.. search there are tons of threads that talk about where you can get it done.
Basically it is just a website that you pay like $7 enter your IMEI in and it spits out an unlock code then you can use the phone on non-ATT carriers. Until you do this you cannot use the phone on any carrier other than ATT.
It worked for me and I get hspa+ speeds.

Did you unlock it?
SIM/carrier unlock should be different from bootloader unlock?
Do we have a way of getting this phones unlock code - or does this not apply to this device?
..CDMA device. Regardless if unlocked for another SP will not work on a GSM locked network in the US. GSM networks system will not recognize the CDMA IMEI.
So here's the situation. I plan on activating on Sprint. Then waiting until my contract expires and then heading to T-Mobile. Anyone know of any issues I might run into. I would think it would be as simple as a SIM card swap.

The only thing that you might have to do is manually enter the T-Mobile APN. Probably not though, I have a Sprint N5 and my APN's were set automatically when I put in my T-mobile Sim.

Simple as a SIM swap. I bought a Sprint nexus 5 and am running it on straight talk with no issues. Just needed a reboot. You might have to add the correct APN settings for your carrier. But that is pretty straight forward.
Ok thanks for the info. I just wanted to make sure. Didn't want to accidentally lock it to Sprint somehow.

Hi guys.
So i was given an cdma S3 as a present.
Now I do not know what network it belongs to.
Is there a way I can
a) Find out if its verizon or sprint?
b) Unlock it ?
c) wild question.... Can it be changed to GSM
Thanks
To find out the carrier that it belongs to: Settings - About Phone - Model Number. Go to Google and then type in the model number ... Voila! You cannot switch to GSM.

You can use a CDMA S3 on GSM networks. I am using one right now. If you pop your GSM SIM card in the phone, you will have service to make calls and text. Getting data is a bit trickier.

Well, no. Sprint has prepaid plans, right? And with WiFi its a small tablet. There are tons of thing to do with it. If you don't want it, I can give you my mailing address

Is there really no sim card under the battery on the Sprint S3? I wasn't aware of that but clearly so since I don't own one.

From what I've read, Sprint does not use Sim cards. I could be wrong though.

The lte sim card is built in, under the center mid cover. Unfortunately, I have never tried to rrplace one with a prepaid.
I can, and have, flashed them to boost mobile and page plus. Talk and text is easy using wifi to update the profile, but data better than 1x is trickier, and requires a "friend".
