Not asking in the Verizon section would be a good start. Plus, the i575 doesn't exist.

I found a stock Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III. In the "About Device" section, it says the model is SCH-I535. I'm extremely new to android and rooting, etc. This is my first android phone.
If possible, how can I unlock this phone to use for T-Mobile USA? Also, if it does unlock, will I get 4G data speed on the phone?
Thank you,
Jason

its not going to work properly on t-mobile...yet I should say.
fyi check my guide in the dev section...section 7 directory, should be a link to unlocking device for gsm capability.
How about attempt to get it back to its owner?
OK, first off the carrier will never give you the owner information. Second, other than calling the number in about phone there is no other way to get it to the previous owner. You can try calling the most recent dialed to try and get it back to the owner but if they already claimed it as lost on their insurance there is no going back. They do not stop the claim.. Third, I will not tolerate abuse on my forums.
Thank you for your cooperation

ok so i have already unlocked and rooted my verizon galaxy s3 using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
everything is working fine however when i place a t-mobile sim card the phone says that the sim card i inserted is not a verizon sim card. can someone please point me into what i have to do next? i have a 16gb verizon galaxy s3 with 4.1.1 jellybean installed. i searched the verizon s3 forum via the search tool but couldn't find anything with my problem. thank you so much for all your help!!!
Your problem is that you have mistaken unlocking a bootloader for unlocking the SIM. Unlocking a bootloader means that you can now flash custom ROMs,kernels,mods,and tweaks.

I tried awhile ago and it didn't work for me because my UTMS menu has been disabled and has no way to access it, I'm on stock KK NC1. However, I saw those who seems to be able to unlock with this method are mostly on older rom.

There's already an older unlock thread with this method and it's confirmed to only work on older firmware or after flashing the old modem.

I've never had any issues talking to AT&T's international support, saying I'm planning on traveling overseas and requesting an unlock code. No charge.

I am long time AT&T customer and never been successful with AT&T's international support. I ended up buying codes on the net.
When I received my S4 a year ago it clearly stated in their website that S4 would not be received the sim-unlock code from AT&T.
I received the S4 with 4.4.2 rom and MDL baseband/modem. I rooted the phone and then flashed the custom rom (Clear Rom 1.5). After that I tried the hidden features that posted on the net to unlock the sim. It did not work. The phone has to be on stock rom that I read later.
I end up buying the code on the net and it worked for me. When I bought the code they gave me several codes to test it. Sim was unlocked in the first code that I entered.

i think us cellular is very similar to Verizon i think a lot of their phones have the same model number so you might be safe, ask in the verizon s5 forums here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/help

like i said ask in that forum, they can help you better since they own the device as well.
i keep seeing everything about the sprint variants but not a peep about verizons is it the same methods as sprint? (i hate the new xda layout i miss when there were carrier sub forums under each phone model)
