Ive seen a couple thread that claim to get you up and running using a Tmobile Sim card in a Verizon Galaxy S3, none of them worked, either no data connection, dialer crashes, or no signal. I really needed to get this working, and i finally have!
Requirements:
Must have this ROM installed (This is what i used, you might try other JB ROMs) ---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
Root access after flashing JB factory image
APN Manager PRO (Must be pro)
Titanium Backup PRO (also must be pro)
Process:
Flash the Jelly Bean factory image as outlined in the link above, make sure to follow through the entire OP, phone will NOT be rooted after flashing so take care to install CWM after rooting in order to Flash SU and unlock the bootloader.
NOTICE:
At this point you can stick a Tmobile (Possibly AT&T?) sim in the phone, go to mobile networks and you should get a message saying "Switch to global?" hit OK. You should then have bars. if you dont get the "Switch to global" message click around in mobile networks, or switch it yourself (options are GSM, CDMA, or Global. Not sure if choosing GSM will work, I only confirmed Global)
Once you're all set and rooted on the JB ROM, install TBP and APN manager PRO. Using TBP convert APN Manager pro to a system app (Under backup/restore click APN manager pro and select convert to system app). Open up APN manager pro, Select Insert APN, and plug in your T-Mobile APN info which are readily available on the web (make sure to include the MMS fields if you want MMS to work) I used these:
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1979
Restart Phone, go back to mobile networks, should get a message asking to switch to Global, hit yes. Congratulations, you now have a Verzion S3 woking with a T-Mobile SIM! At this point only Edge works, i might mess around a bit more to see if 3g/HSPA+ speeds are possible.
Credits:
Credit goes to open1your1eyes0 for the wonderful write up explaining how to flash the JB factory image.
Credit goes to lair12 for the original guide to use the S3 as a global phone, didnt work fully for alot of people but is a great starting point.

Hey MustangFTW, I'm still having trouble getting any network connection happening. Not even EDGE.
EDIT:
Nevermind! I got Data to work!
Follow every step of MustangFTW, but put these values in for full functionality on a T-Mobile sim:
Name: T-Mobile Data (or T-Mobile US)
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: None
Note: For the Username, enter "None" with the keypad. Do not leave it not set.

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: <Not set>
APN type: default,supl,admin,dun,mms

After reboot, to make sure, enable that APN by selecting it from the APN List of the APN Pro app.
Then check APN Settings under Mobile Network to make sure it is enabled, then Global. Then, have fun!
As you can see in the Screen Shot, I currently have Data and it works!
Hope we can get full 4G fix in the future, plus T-Mobile is merging towers with Verizon by the end of 2012, so hope for better connection.
EDIT----------------------------------
Add the following...
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS seems to be working for me on the latest CM10.1 with the following APN and added MMS proxy.

All you would need to do is get a US Cellular APN,
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------
I'm not sure, but I do not think this will work with CM10 or AOKP, due to that they don't have the Global Function even with the Phone Info app.
If someone has a fix for this, please tell! Thanks ;D
You can only use US Cellular phones on their network if I am not mistaken. The CDMA networks (sprint,verizon,us cell) don't allow eachother's phones on their networks.

Also something just came to me. T mobile sports both 1700mhz and 2100mhz for theyre 3g wcdma service (1700mhz uplink and 2100mhz downlink) as it's stated that the sghi535 supports 2100mhz gsm wcdma, shouldn't we be able to attach to T-Mobile 3g network for downlink and only edge for uplink?

just bought a second hand Infuse from Amazon seller.
Came like new - stock rom. Inserted my ATT sim, and all works besides the DATA!
Went to the ATT store - they didn't figure this out (although I must question the rather incompetent feeling I got form the 20 year old lady working there).
I did follow this guide:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article...the+Samsung+Infuse+4G+(i997)#fbid=K5lWUKt8c8v
with NO RESULTS!
Any suggestions before I go through the long RMA process with the seller?
THANKS A MILLION!!!
Call AT&T (on seperate phone) they'll prob need some info and then runs some tests with phone to check if your data is on.
Same happened to me when I first got my infuse coming from a cappy

Did you set up a new APN?
Ahhhh sorry my friend, what is an APN?
APN = Access Point Name
Maybe give this a shot:

Click on "menu" (left button) then "new APN" then enter these:
Name: ATT
APN: wap.cingular

MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <leav this blank>
APN type: internet + mms
click "menu" then "save"
then select the one you entered
OR
you can reset to default under settings
There are various suggested APNs out there in the dev forums. Just do a search on APN in these forums.

No sweat. No guarantees, but check updated post. Fixed a few control-paste typos.
Calling them up is your best bet. I also got mine second hand. My data wouldn't work for anything (i thought i just bought a defective device) but after some changes on AT&T's end, a hard reset, and a reset of APN's, it worked. Ive been perfect since.

Yo bro , how did the ROM flashing work out ?
I mean, I just got this phone too and I can't install any tweaks and mods on the custom ROM even though I am rooted and have CWM.
So I believe you just installed the ROM through CWM eh ?
Also are you using SGH-I727 ROM's or SGH-I777 ROM's ???
Thanks in Advance
personally i haven't flashed anything yet. Havent seen anything that makes me want to make the jump yet. thinking of Alien as I did have that on my atrix. but still having a good time with just stock.

i727r slim bean
Hey, I found this thread pretty helpful. I have a i727r with slim bean rom and I cant get the LTE logo to appear in the notification bar (it does however display 4g). I ended up downloading a network monitor widget and it displays the LTE logo. Does any one if theres a way to get slimbean to display it in the notification bar, or is this just how Slim bean works?
Also it seems to not be able to send mms text messages. I checked the apn settings again and theyre configured to whats pasted above. Any assistance would be appreciated.

4G = LTE. Try downloading a Speed Testing app and you should get getting 10-30+mbps.

I figured 4g and LTE were the same thing. A friend of mine is running stock os and his says LTE so I figured I would ask.
Unfortunately Hspa+ (sp?) was popularized as 4G, but it's really 3G.5. LTE is "true" 4G. That said, "4G" will vary from Rom to Rom.
I'm on Rogers and its ics stock Rom labels hspa+ as 4G, and LTE as itself. Way back when I switched over to slimbean I was concerned at first, and then I noticed that it labels hspa+ as itself and LTE as 4g. Technically this is correct...so..good times!

I've done speed tests and was never sure what the readings should be, so thanks for this. I knew for my computer but not phone LOL :good:
Quick question, I noticed I wasn't getting LTE so I went into Phone, typed #*#*4646*#*# and set my radio to LTE only. It completely stopped. The radio was fully off, couldn't even text. When I set it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA it turns back on and HSPA+ starts working. Why is this?
I'm on Rogers. I should also add that so far no 4.2.2 ROMs have had working LTE for me.
For those of you who cannot get these settings to stick, try using exactly the info posted, BUT, put in 80 as your "Port". Not to be confused with "MMS Port:80", though you leave that the same also, should work. And the asterisk(*) should work better for "APN Type".
:good:

I recently got a used i9020a for AT&T and for some reason it continually drops its data connection. I immediately put Koush's latest CM9 release on it, I am not sure I even have stock firmware for it (got it used with other custom ROM on it). The bars do not drop, the bars stay at full connection, but the data completely halts to and from the phone it seems like. I cannot even download a 2MB file without it stopping half way. Then after a minute or two, the data connection will come back only to drop again.
It basically makes the phone entirely unusable.
It is using my iPhone 4S SIM card (I would like to switch between phones).
I tried to run a speedtest.net speediest, and here are my abysmal results:

Hello
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4-I337 (32GB AT&T black mist version). I cannot get MMS to work on my device at all.. I've tried to use many different APN settings, but none of them work for MMS.. The data, calling and texting all work fine though...
1. I should probably mention that I tried to unlock using this method ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
2. Immediately, my Galaxy S4 started to show "Samsung Custom 'open lock symbol'" while starting... Is this normal?
3. My phone is now unlocked and a quick google search revealed that this could be the problem. So I went ahead and re-locked my phone by tracing my steps back as mentioned in the above thread. I still could not manage to get the MMS to work.
4. I then flashed the stock ROM using Odin and still the MMS does not work.
Could you please suggest something? I'm using the AT&T version SIM of StraightTalk...
1. I tried to send a picture message to my wife's phone, it shows as successfully sent on my Galaxy S4 but my wife's iPhone4S does not receive it...

Hello
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4-I337 (32GB AT&T black mist version). I cannot get MMS to work on my device at all.. I've tried to use many different APN settings, but none of them work for MMS.. The data, calling and texting all work fine though...
1. I should probably mention that I tried to unlock using this method ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
2. Immediately, my Galaxy S4 started to show "Samsung Custom 'open lock symbol'" while starting... Is this normal?
3. My phone is now unlocked and a quick google search revealed that this could be the problem. So I went ahead and re-locked my phone by tracing my steps back as mentioned in the above thread. I still could not manage to get the MMS to work.
4. I then flashed the stock ROM using Odin and still the MMS does not work.
Could you please suggest something? I'm using the AT&T version SIM of StraightTalk...
1. I tried to send a picture message to my wife's phone, it shows as successfully sent on my Galaxy S4 but my wife's iPhone4S does not receive it...
2. I tried to send a picture message from my wife's iPhone to my Galaxy... That fails immediately...
Any help appreciated... Thanks for your time

Even if you put the settings manually it does not work, I had lg g2 from at&t for 2 days and it never got speeds of more then 2g with tmobile SIM card in it and manual settings.

thank you very much!!! exactly what I need! :good::good::good: 3 thumbs way up!
after I used up the data limit on my t mobile 4g, does it automatically default to 2g speeds or do I need to set up another apn for the 2g?
It will slow you to 2g on their end, you dont need to change anything

ok, got it.
When I had my previous att phone which i unlocked and put on a t-mobile prepaid sim, I could swear it changed the boot screen from ATT's to TMO's.
On this ATT G2, I still have the ATT Bootscreen. also under Mobile Networks I still have Search for ATT Microcells. I figure this is just part of the stock ATT Rom.
What I really find weird is if I to go Network Operators and do a Search Networks it will find both TMO and ATT RATs.
Are you also experiencing this? Everything seems to work fine, including the TMO visual Voicemail app, so I don't think it is really a problem.
