You guys split SGS3 forums into AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, but leave out all other carriers. So where exactly does MetroPCS belong??
T-Mobile bought and owns MetroPCS. However, T-Mobile uses GSM while MetroPCS uses CDMA. Their SGS3 variants are not compatible.
When MetroPCS users root or flash their SGS3 phones, they usually use the files/packages for Verizon.
Specs-wise, Sprint's SGS3 variant and CDMA are closest to MetroPCS. But for some reason I've never seen anyone uses a package for Sprint on MetroPCS phones.
So should I post in the T-Mobile, Verizon or Sprint forums if I have a question about rooting??

I know this is all Windows and Android so hopefully I'm not breaking rules for asking an Iphone question lol. My question is... is it possible to have a CDMA Iphone work on a sprint network? If a GSM phone can be unlocked and work on different networks why can't the same be for a CDMA phone? I'm just curious because with an Iphone now somewhat confirmed to go to VZW i'd like to see if it can be modified to work on Sprint my favorite network of course. Thanks in advance for your responses.
Dear All,
I have purchased Galaxy Nexus from someone in US (From Amazon) as GSM phone but when I received the phone here in Egypt I founded it Verizon 4G LTE/CDMA
Now What shall I do Is it possible to work here in 3G Network???? this guy cheated me.
Please I need your help.

Hi there! I'm moving back to India tomorrow after a few years in the US and I'm interested in getting my off-contract Verizon Galaxy Nexus and Sprint Galaxy S3 working in Delhi/NCR. I realize neither will work on a GSM network as the VZW is the I515.9 baseband and the Sprint one lacks a SIM slot, but can I get them running on a local CDMA carrier like MTS or *shudder* Reliance?
I've done some digging online and in here, but I can't seem to find anything about getting either device working on a CDMA network in India other than warnings that some carriers may not activate them if they aren't on their own "approved devices list".
Thanks so much for your help and happy new year!

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
The 920i is the international model, and thus misses Band 4 (1700mHz) which is used by the USA GSM operators (AT&T, T-Mo, MetroPCS, et cetera). This means you won't get 4G LTE with this device.
Also, if trying with T-Mobile, they alos use 1700mHz for HSPA (3G), a frequency your device does not have either. So unless T-Mo still supports 2G (I remember a planned phasing of that out at some point), your device will not work with their network.
AT&T on the other hand, uses 3G 850/1900 frequencies, so you should be okay.
At any rate, I could be optimistically wrong. So, please create an account, so you cna post in other forums, then either post in the above linked thread, or in the S6 general help thread:

Hello,
my provider is NET10. They support GSM,CDMA, and LTE. I am trying to find a Samsung Gala5y S5 to use at my provider, but I can only find versions for Sprint, T-Mobile, ATT, or Verizon. Sprint, T-Mobile, ATT show that they use only GSM and Verizon CDMA.
Does anyone know what I have to look for on the Galaxy S5 to use all networks (GSM,CDMA, and LTE) ?
Thank you
First step would be to verify with net 10 they are a GSM carrier if I am correct. This being said you could not use Verizon GS5. This would leave sprint to mobile AT&T I would verify with someone who is using one of those devices on NET 10. Sorry I am not more help as I have a Verizon GS5 but hopefully it is a start!
