Does anyone know if my Verizon Galaxy S3 (i-535) will work in South Africa with a local South African SIM card? I will be traveling there next month and want to use a local SIM. I have the jellybean firmware installed.
Thanks a lot.
It should work if you are on the global contract with Verizon.

Having the Verizon global contract has nothing to do with using a local sim card internationally.
Op you should get voice no problem, but not data. Follow here for steps to edit your APN to get data

Is there a way to unlock the GS3 for Verizon to make it work on carriers like att, sprint, t mobile, etc.
Yes but there is no data. Except if you travel internationally then you will get the full range of service. Hope I helped!!

Hi all,
I'm new to the site so please excuse my potential ignorance if this has been previously answered or if I missed anything.
So, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305. It was originally on T-Mobile UK burnish completely unbranded so on startup doesn't show t-mobile, no network bloatware etc... and I have since had it unlocked (via unlock code, not root)
Waiting for the premium suite update has prompted me to wonder... as I am unlocked am I still governed by t-mobiles wait times (I actually use a voda SIM in it)? Or as its unlocked/unbranded should I effectively be at the front of the queue as it were? Or will I not get it at all ss I'm not using a t-mobile SIM?
I'm becoming very impatient waiting for the update as got rid of my note ii in anticipation for the s3 receiving the update.
I am on the cusp of rooting just so that I can add the premium suite on the Rom but have limited experience in rooting (only done it a couple of times) worried that I'll miss something and wont be able to return it to stock once the upgrade becomes available via kies as there are so many different guides/roms/software
Appreciate your thoughts and feedback.

When did Verizon change so we can talk on the phone and surf at the same time?

Probably about five years ago. I used to do It on my HTC eris

Thunderbolt was the first to allow simultaneous voice and data on 3g. You maybe have been on WiFi on the eris.

I thought att's claim to fame was to be the only carrier to accomplish this.

Well AT&T figures if you're dumb enough to pay to be on their network you're probably also dumb enough to believe that too....
If you are/were an AT&T customer I mean no offense, I'm just not a fan
I think those commercials are for the iPhone 5. I believe it has something to do with the Verizon iPhone not being able to do it.

I believed it and until now still believed it. Didn't stop me from dumping AT&T two years ago.
I bought a galaxy slll from a guy at work and everything on it is amazing however no 4g help?

Is 4G available in your area? Where I am at we just got 4G.

Go get a new SIM card from Verizon. I had the exact same problem. My SIM card from my galaxy nexus (where I had 4g with no problems) would not work on my used s3. Well, everything worked except 4g. Put in a new SIM card from Verizon and everything worked fine.
Thats the phone I came from. ...thanks

Hi,
Am living in Singapore and plan to order the N5 from my aunt in Canada. Will it be able to be used in Singapore? I'm pretty confused about the band thing - and I'm not going to use LTE since I refuse to recontract (will cut my data from 12gb to 2gb). Read somewhere that only certain "bands" are broadcast by certain phones and networks but not sure what that means wither.
