I just picked up a Xoom 32gb model and the person I bought it from was unsure which model they bought
So is there a way to find out if I can use a Sim card to use it for 4g
Go to settings then about tablet. It should tell you the model number there.

Is there any actual hardware difference between a 4g enabled Xoom and just a wifi? My dad recently got an Xoom from work and I've installed the team EOS wifi nightly on it,can I go over and install a rom on here for 3 or 4g GSM connection or is there a hardware factor involved? If not then can I just put the sim card that's in my infuse in the Xoom and have it run off that (after installing a 4g campatible from)? Or is there more to it?

Us 4g xooms are not gsm capable as they're set up to run on the Verizons lte network which does use a sim card. It won't work with the sim out of your Infuse regardless of what rom you flash as it does not have the correct hardware. If it is a wifi only model it lacks the hardware to connect to any wireless network at all again regardless of what rom you flash. Hope that helps

The keyword in your statement is "seems." It may have a sim slot, but its not connected to anything and it doesn't have a radio that is capable of connecting to any cellular networks, period.

... I never said that it was a wifi only Xoom, in fact I'm trying to figure out what kind it is, so I setup this thread wrong and asked the wrong question, the real question would be how do I tell what type I have?

If it has "Verizon" on the bezel the it is CDMA 3G (possibly 4G or upgradable to 4G) if not, the it is Wi-Fi. If you still have the box, look at the model number, it should be MZ60X where the X is a number between 1-5. You can then Google what the version numbers mean.

As a previous poster commented, if it's verizon you'll know. They put their branding all over it so it's pretty easy to tell. Enjoy your xoom :beer:

Hello,
I have the SGIII and a droid pro. I was wondering if it is possible in anyway to have the same phone number on both phones with data and all that? Thanks for the help!
No

thanks lol
You can probably imagine why, lol.
Verizon wants to get their money.

This is possible with two 4G phones that use the same size sim. For example the S3 and any 4G phone with the smaller sim or the thunderbolt and rezound with the larger sim. Just take it out of one phone and pop it in the other.

This plus for example. If u have a smaller dim card like the nexus or s3. You can get and adapter son it will fit inside of a phone that requires a bigger sim.... I made my own out of note cards to use in a thunderbolt at work. You can always turn off the 4g phone and call to activate the droid pro..... problem is the second u do that your sim is no longer usable and u will need a replacement

I have the droid charge and I was trying to find info on whether my charge would be able to use a TELCEL or any mexican mobile companies SIM card while I am down there. I could not find an answer. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Doubt it. American LTE networks work on completely different bands. The iPhone 5 is pretty much the only phone that is compatible with almost every LTE network.
Damn okay ill have to just buy another nokia brick while I'm there :beer:

Does a T-Mobile prepaid phone need to be cancelled or deactivated before anyone else can use it? An unlocked Nexus 4 to be specific.

The phone itself does not need to be deactivated...you just need to put in a different SIM card and you're good to go.
Basically I'm thinking of buying this phone and using it with a prepaid plan. Is there a way to unlock it to use on a different carrier?

I doubt there will be decent responses until the VZW version is released...
You can use the sprint version with page plus.
