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....

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....
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:

Your last & only solution if you want to use your phone, it's to root your device.
Because it's your radio which is bad. Your baseband is for only USA and not for Greece or World West Europe (WWE)
You need to root your device and change for an European Baseband.
That's why you need to know what exactly your device:
Go to settings => About =>
Phone identity
(you will see model number, and lot of infos that you will need write somewhere for giving on your next post)
Software information
(remember these infos)
and finally click "More"
You will see your baseband and more infos that you need to give also.
Give me your model number and your device serial number, and I'll give you the good way for searching

I've got a bad news for you because you cannot unlock your sim card.
In fact your phone is only use for US cellular (CDMA) not European (GSM)
Uscc is not a gsm phone the sim card slot is used for thw 4g service the phone itself is cdma
If you use "search all forums" just above and type:
Code:
Samsung galaxy s4 sch-r970 unlock
you will find a lot of posts about this subject but with all time same answer: You CANNOT
Sorry for this bad news.
Good luck

Did You unlock GSM on Your phone?
I too have an r970 from USCC. I too went to the corp location to have them courier unlock the phone. I have installed "OctOS" rom specific to this device. I have put a t-mobile sim card in the phone and get intermittent "LTE" but cannot make or receive calls. Is there anyone who has any info on this subject?
