Hi - I am a newbie so bear with me. I have a a Verizon I535 Samsung Galaxy S3. I live in Minot ND where Verizon is predominant, but AT&T has decent coverage here. My idea was to break my contract with Verizon and go with Prepaid Net10 (so I purchased the AT&T Micro SIM from them).
My phone had the recent update so it was running 4.1.2 version of software.
I also rooted my phone via the latest Casual Root ToolKit made by BeansTown106. So I rooted it first, then I ported my phone number to the new SIM card and put the SIM card in my phone.
I had also downloaded APN Manager pro as I knew once I added a new APN I would need to delete the old one. My problem is I can't get this app to work, nor any other APN app that I download (I tried HedgeHog, Tweaker, and others). I have read that these apps won't work for deleting APNs with the version of software I am running?
Not sure if I even have the right APN either, because the service is poor and I have no data. I am also getting the annoying "NON-VERIZON SIM" message.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there a way for a newbie to delete the old APN - step-by-step instructions would be helpful!
2. Does anyone have a good APN for NET10 AT&T for this phone?
Thank you in advance, I am learning so much here! :good:

Hello everyone!
I'm writing for help from the experts. I don't know if this had been answered somewhere else but i looked all over the place and i didn't find anything for this phone.
After trying and trying for a few days now, i have not been able to unlock my verizon SGS3 so that i can use it with other sim cards.
I currently have it running on JB 4.1.2 it is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked thanks to the EZ- Unlock technique.
But when i put in a non verizon sim it says "sorry, this SIM is not supported. please....."
Can it be done ?
Thanks in advance
BTW: i've tryed the "galaxsim", and "Sim unlock" by chainfire as well as all the other similar apps i could find on the playstore but they have not worked for me.

Verizon S3 is sim unlocked for GSM, but not sure about the cdma. You can use it with t-mobile, att etc. There is a thread in android development forum about how to setup s3 as global phone. Try that one if you are using gsm.
Thanks doesn't hurt....
clarification

Hey !
Thank you so much for responding. I am trying to use it on a gsm network but it wont register, that's why i figured maybe its locked somehow. Also because of the message in the top that says non-verizon sim, it says sorry this sim card is not supported etc..
Where can i find the thread you mentioned?
Thanks again.
Go through the below thread to check how to setup the Verizon GS3 as world GS phone :

Ok so i worked on it till very late last night, and was able to do everything in the thread. My phone now shows the network apn in the apn list in the settings and i was able to get rid of the non-verizon sim message that poped up at startup.
But my phone still won't register on any network, I've tried to different sim cards and tried in global settings as well as gsm/utms auto or manual but it wont register onto a network.
What can i do ? Is it locked by Verizon or something ? Should i flash a different rom ?
Thanks for your invaluable help, i really appreciate it!
Have you tried using phoneinfo? Try using the phone info app to select preferred network type by going into device information. Find link below to the app. Try with different network type

If this doesn't work then try with lte sim card.
Thanks doesn't hurt....
my dad gave me his i9003 he got from Oman when he was working over their, and when i put my at&t sim card in the phone it does not ask for a network unlock code, and the sim wont even connect to wireless network.

What did it take for you to get mms working?
I have tried everything I can find and I have gotten it to work momentarily but then it will automatically revert back to the Sprint settings.
Even Go SMS Pro will reset to Sprint settings.
Hello guys i'm new here and did look for my problem but didn't find much
i brought a galaxy S5 sprint G900P the guy that sold it to me told me it was a non-contract phone
i check the imei back then and it was clean even though i coudn't activate it.
still i used SSU to unlock the sim on 4.4.2
i wanted today to update to the 5.0 version i checked the imei again just by luck and i found it Blacklisted --
my question is if i update to 5.0 will i still use it or will it get blocked and will i be able to use the sim
i live outside the US.
thank you.

Sorry about cross posting. A mod can delete my other thread. I didn't realize there was a Q & A forum.
I'm just looking to see if there has been any development on rooting and flashing for this model.
From what I have read I cannot.
Just looking for some one to confirm that the bootloader is still blocking everything.
Carrier is Verizon
SM=P905V
Android 5.1.1
Stock tablet, never been hacked.
Thanks in advance. I'm needing to know this due to a dispute I am having with big V.
Anyone?????????
