Is it possible that nexus s will work on Verizon being that they now use a SIM card for there 4g network?

no NOT at all lol its like using an am only radio to pick up fm freq's. its just the same way that tmo and att 3g are different
No it will never work. However the nexus s is now released on sprint, And that model will work on Verizon.
does the sprint nexus use a SIM card? im not familiar with there network, and will the verizon 4G work on the sprint nexus s ?
No no no.
None of the Nexus S models, nit even the sprint one, will work on Verizon.

okay thanks for the verification.

Other carriers data networks

Is there any way to use a carriers 3g network that doesn't have a contract agreement with at&t instead of only being able to use edge data in a non at&t coverage area?

Not in the states.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it can't work on other networks because of the broadcast frequencies.

Sprint..Really?!

So what does VoLTE (Voice over LTE) Mean for us sprint customers? Will it be another WiMax horror all over again where we have to buy a new phone because eventually the current 1X CDMA Voice network will be decommissioned?
What are the advantages and disadvantages to this system???

Unlocking

Does anyone know if it is possible to unlock the Samsung Infuse AT&T to be used with Verizon?

Not possible. ATT uses GSM, while Verizon uses CDMA.

[Q] Radio Question

I've got an AT&T straight talk sim in my i9020t and can only get an edge connection, from what I can tell it looks like I need a Tmobile sim. I read about an SII that you could flash a radio that would make it work though, anyone know anything about this? I'd rather try flashing some before I order a new sim.
I've heard that too about the GSII, but I'm afraid the situation is different for the nexus s. Your I9020T's 3g radio will only work on tmobiles frequencies; the hardware's reception capabilities cannot be changed by flashing something.
Now, I'm not familiar with the sim you currently have in, BUT, if that network uses the same frequencies as T-Mobile, all you need to do is adjust your APN's.
I'd look up the frequencies for you, but I'm off to class..
Let my know how it goes/what you find!

I'm pretty sure that he's right about being stuck on the edge with at&t. 3g frequency only on tmobile. You would need a pentaband phone like the gnex to get both carriers 3g or hpsa+

Yep, at&t 3g frequencies are not the same as T-Mobile frequencies. You definitely need a T-Mobile sim for your i9020T
