Look at the back under the battery and see what it says, or usually the back cover will indicate the carrier.
And no, not all Samsung phones are Verizon phones.

Will read SCH-I535 for a Verizon phone.

i have a nexus that i thought i had completely bricked. Soo i got a new one. The old has been deactivated by sprint, but is in complete working order. is there a way that someone could buy it and use it for their phone? or is it unusable?
I think they could flash it to boost mobile
But if it is possible to un brick it thru might be able to use it on sprint
That's if its a 4g
if its a normal one they should be able to use it on any carrier

By complete working order you mean it's not bricked anymore? and if you deactivated the phone and it's working then you can sell it, and it is possible for someone else to activate it.
If Sprint replaced it I'm sure they flagged the Imei or Esn or whatever. It would have to be flashed to another carrier like Boost or Virgin.

So... I bought an unlock code because ATT was being an asshat and refused to give me an unlock code despite their promise to give me one.
I bought the code from cellunlocker, and I've tried all the methods except using a different sim. They all give me the same result: "The old pin you typed is not correct".
Do I have to use a different sim or is something terribly wrong with my phone? I'm going to China next week and I plan to use my phone.
Different Sim. Non att Sim

Tmo or simple mobile. Simple mobile sims are just a dollar on ebay or about 2-5 in craigslist. That is of course if you dont have friends on tmo.

Thanks!
Still doesn't work! I've tried all the methods! D:
Was I supposed to select Galaxy S II or Galaxy S II LTE?

Yeah that's what I selected.
Strange. I've sent an email to support, but knowing support desks, they will probably be idiots.

Hello,
I have one of the many Samsung Galaxy s3 clones being sold and would like to know how I can find out which one I really have for modifications.
Anyone know how?

Thanks, it shows GT-I9300
(Android version 4.0.4, Manufacturer no. IMM76D.I9300ZSALE9)
I know it is not an original S3 although it looks exactly the same. Many features do not function and I want to try (super noob as I am) to fix it.
Any other way to determine make?
Hello. I just bought a like new Galaxy blaze on ebay, still waiting for it to get here. I have service with AT&T and I am assuming my data connection will be very slow. Is there any modem/radio that you guys could recommend? I did search for answers but couldn't find them!
Thanks

Based on location. Not sure if it's a good idea since I've never done it before.

I believe you just need to unlock it and should be good to go.

Thanks, but unlocking the phone won't give me fast data speeds because At&t works on a different frequency.
I know there are people currently doing what I mentioned in the first post on their Galaxy Note 1 and 2 when switching from Tmobile to At&t and vice versa...

When using an AT&T phone on T-Mobile and vice versa there is no guarantee that you will experience the full potential of their respective services. Basically it's a crap shoot.

Hi guys.
So i was given an cdma S3 as a present.
Now I do not know what network it belongs to.
Is there a way I can
a) Find out if its verizon or sprint?
b) Unlock it ?
c) wild question.... Can it be changed to GSM
Thanks
To find out the carrier that it belongs to: Settings - About Phone - Model Number. Go to Google and then type in the model number ... Voila! You cannot switch to GSM.

You can use a CDMA S3 on GSM networks. I am using one right now. If you pop your GSM SIM card in the phone, you will have service to make calls and text. Getting data is a bit trickier.

Well, no. Sprint has prepaid plans, right? And with WiFi its a small tablet. There are tons of thing to do with it. If you don't want it, I can give you my mailing address

Is there really no sim card under the battery on the Sprint S3? I wasn't aware of that but clearly so since I don't own one.

From what I've read, Sprint does not use Sim cards. I could be wrong though.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
The lte sim card is built in, under the center mid cover. Unfortunately, I have never tried to rrplace one with a prepaid.
I can, and have, flashed them to boost mobile and page plus. Talk and text is easy using wifi to update the profile, but data better than 1x is trickier, and requires a "friend".
