1. Yes
2. You would insert a SIM card of a different carrier and see if it works (and is detected).
3. It will support any GSM carrier which supports its frequencies
i inserted a sim card with international roaming but a triangle is coming and in my notifications it said
Lost data connectivity
what does this mean?

Plus i have signal bars without and with the SIM card, the only difference is when i insert the sim card, there is an R with the signal bars
is my device factory unlocked or not?

I ordered a galaxy s3 Verizon from Philadelphia. I live in Greece and I activate my galaxy with a Verizon's sim that my seller send it to me. I rooted the phone and then I installed the old version of ez-unlock . When I entered my SIM card it says that there is a non-Verizon SIM card. Do I need to restore it and do the process with a different order? Any solutions?

i went back to 4.0.4 then used odin and upgraded back to 4.1.2 reset wiped phone rebooted completly stock all root and custom recovery gone. used verizon software and went from mb1 to NE1 updated software now its at stock 4.4.2
i can insert a old rogers canada sim it sees network right away and shows up in APN
insert a new activated telus sim and it does not show anything except for the sim from unknown provider or non verizon sim crap but i know how to remove the system app for that notice does not change a thing.
i have used" phone info" and tried the different bands global, lte/cdma, gsm i have tried in service modes and dial pad codes (have not done *228 on 4g lte phones so its not a fried sim card) best i get with telus sim in and set in gsm mode is the can rogers network show up. nothing in the other modes.
i have manual tried the APN setting in phone and apn manager no change
i show a imei number however it is different from the original on the back sticker but the phone has no issues with the rogers sim card and the current phones imei so it changed at some point prob from a previous custom ROM but it is working to see a network just not activated on rogers
so now i have a unlocked bootloader, stock 4.4.2 clean phone 100% stock Verizon software i have read everything i can seem to dig up and still will not work
Sir I purchased a new unlocked S6 Edge ( 925A) at&t device from abroad to use in india.
The guy told it's fully unlocked and it support any sim card. Buy when I checked with Indian Sims I am getting only 2g signals .. I am not getting 3G and 4g signals..
When I checked for network selection mode settings it's missing in the settings.
No software OTA update is available. . I think it's also disabled.. when I checked the device status it is in "custom"..
So if I flash a stock ROM with Odin will it lock again ?
Do I need to unlock it again.. ??
First check the model from bootloader, if its actually a att variant then you can flash a stock rom too make it work as normal, but if its some other variant then get back to this thread again.
Its surely an at&t Variant of Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE.. its model number is 925A.. which is only available for ATT..
Its baseband version is G925AUCU1AOCE
I purchased this phone as fully unlocked from UAE but in india when i start to use it i came to know that its not taking 3G and 4G signals .. but 2g Signal and Data services are working fine..
I got the phone in rooted condition without any Boot animation of At&t. Since its rooted i am not getting any official updates.
I am also facing many software bugs.. from different apps..
So really want to flash the phone with a new stock rom for using it..
I have some doubts about it please clear it..
1) if i flash it with an official att stock rom will it lock again for att network ?
2) can i remove the att boot animation after flashing with stock rom ?
Sent from my SM-925A using XDA Free mobile app
Providers in India use bands 3, 40, and 41 for LTE. The AT&T S6 Edge is only compatible with band 3.
I doubt you'd be able to flash a different ROM, and even if you could, you still wouldn't have compatibility with bands 40 or 41.
Firstly Thanks for your reply.. i know that S6 Edge at&t only support Band 3 LTE cuz it's a FDD LTE supported device.. in my country here providers are using both TDD & FDD LTE bands for LTE..
In my region "Kerala" at presently all the providers are using Band 3 which is compatible will my phone. But i am not receiving any LTE and 3G signals..
My friends have different unlocked phones from T-Mobile they are not facing any problem..
I am still doubt the flashing ROM.. i am going to flash the stock rom for at&t.. it's the only official rom available for my device.
It could be an APN issue. Make sure the settings are the same as your friends are using. Beyond that, I have no idea.
Nothing Wrong with the APN.. cuz i am using 2G data without any problems.
We have same APN for all 2G ,3G & 4G..
I think its the problem with my software..
I can't switch between LTE/WCDMA/2G because that network mode selection option is disabled or not available..
I am compelled to flash a new Rom..
I don't have any other options.
I own a good phone but i can't use it . Really sad about it..
for sure people here can help you more on this

Excuse me, I was bought ss note 5 N920v from Aliexpress to Thailand and already unlocked but it has android 6.0. I found 7.0 rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note5/general/sm-n920v-nougat-odin-firmware-t3592899) then I flash it via odin . When finished reboot. It appeared "sim card is not from verizon wireless " and I can't use 4G mobile internet so I think it look like re-lock network again. This case can I use verizon unlock service on ebay? or you have the better way for free? Thank you.
You dont need to relock it.
Note 5 VZW is UNLOCKED!!!
Ignore the message "sim card is not from verizon wireless"
You need to setup you carrier APN settings to use 4g connection
but the signal is very weak and the previous version that buyer flashed 6.0 but my signal is full and didn't has verizon logo.
