I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 on Us Cellular there is not place for Us Cellular so I posted it here. I have a S3 on US Cellular and I want to use it on Verizon so I took my sim card out of my Droid Razr Maxx (I broke my screen) and put it in the s3. I get 3g and can call and text fine. But cannot send/receive mms. And I do not get 4g. But I don't really care. Is there a way to make the phone get 4g, mms, say verizon, and get rid of the roming signal? Its not roming there is just a sign above the signal bars with the roming sign and on the phone it says "Preferred System"? Thanks.

Sell or trade the phone and get a tmobile one. Other than that there is no way your getting tmobile data to work.
That isn't entirely true. I got 2G (edge) working on a Galaxy S3 from Verizon that has been switched to T-Mobile. Just trying to find a way to get it to pickup 3G/4G now.
You need a stock rooted or touch whiz Rom!

Hi guys, so my mom has her gs3 on verizon and she bought a sim card for tmobile. We activated it and we get Edge data speed but nothing more. We live in a LTE area with great service but we just have edge. how do i get her data to LTE or HSPA+? Also when entering *#*#4696#*#* i dont get the option to change the LTE/CDMA radio like i use to
The vzw gs3 is not compatible with T-Mobile. Be glad you get edge
Different radios in the devices.

+1. Edge is all you can get with any non Verizon US carrier.
I recently just purchased a tablet from verizon with a data plan. I am wondering if I can take the 4G LTE sim card from my tablet and put it into a verizon Galaxy S3 or S4 that has a bad esn. If it works I know that it would only receive LTE and not 3G or voice which is fine because I use google voice and make calls via Voip.
From everything I have researched I think it should work but I am looking for someone that has put a Verizon LTE sim into a verizon phone with a bad esn to verify that it does or does not work.
Thanks in advance!

I know how to get the service from ST ON THE phone but many say they are onnly able to get Edge speeds
Does anyone know why not or how u can get 4g lte from ATT TOWER USING ATT SIM CARD ON A vzw gs3 phone
Hi all, has anyone here tried or been successful in getting the data or lte over voice calls with Verizon's S6 using Tmobile? I have Tmobile and trying to use my gf's unlocked Verizon Galaxy S6. Almost everything works fine except that while on voice call, the signal drops to 1x and I can not simultaneously use data or receive mms. Are there any fixes for this? Any help would be appreciated as she is planning to switch from Verizon to Tmobile and I would love to just reuse the phone on Tmobile.
PS: Sorry not sure if this should be in a carrier specific thread. If so, not sure which one to choose since it sort of dual carrier concern

Try going to Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Mode and change it to LTE / GSM / UMTS and see if that helps.
