I'm traveling to the Caribbean (St Lucia) in a few days. Can I use a local sim card in my Verizon xt926? In 'preferred network settings' there are options for both GSM and CDMA. The bootloader is unlocked and running stock KK, but CM11 can be installed if it will make any difference. They have Lime and Digicel for providers in St Lucia.
Thanks!

I am planning a trip to Europe soon. My wife's Inspire 4G is rooted and unlocked running cm7.2, but not unlocked for different SIM cards.
What do I need to do to have my phone work in Italy, and Denmark. I was just going to pick up a SIM card at the airport.
Do I need to flash a international radio? What provider should I buy a SIM from? Anyone recommend a specific unlocking code provider?

I had mine unlocked by AT&T. It was freee, and worked just fine. I simply explained my need to travel, and use foreign SIMs. Any PAYG sim will work just fine.
If you rooted your phone then most likely your phone was sim unlocked during the process. And no you don't need an international radio.

The radio of original AT & T would work in europe but you wont get 3G speed
as the frequency there is 2100 which AT&T doesnt have in USA.
No need to flashing different radio.
i want to buy a d2g with a Bad ESN but i am planning to use a sim in it so i am wondering if its possible to flash it and get it to work or im just wasting my time
Will you be using the phone on Verizon? If not you should be okay

“Bad ESN” means the phone is blocked on VZW's CDMA network. Nothing more, nothing less.
You can use it with any GSM carrier (including AT&T and T-Mobile, provided you perform the band unlock) and any CDMA carrier that is compatible with the device (MetroPCS being at least one in the USA).

Can someone please help me with me new galaxy 3s? I just bought it from USA and i want to use it on Greece but it is locked on verizon.... What should i do?
That's an 800MHz/1900MHz CDMA phone. If Greece is like the rest of Europe and uses GSM, the phone doesn't have the radios to work there, so you can't use it. (The SIM is for data, not voice, but you need the basic connection to the network for it to work, and a CDMA phone won't connect to a GSM network.)
You should sell the phone to someone in the US (who wants a Verizon phone - it can't be "unlocked" for other carriers) and buy the GSM version of the phone.

New Verizon phones have worldwide roaming ability (including the S3) so it should work on any GSM carrier outside the US.

It is a sch i535rwb 4g phone. How can i check if it has a worldwide roaming phone? Also what should i do so that i can use it in Greece?
You need the SGH T999 (The GSM variant of the SGSIII) The Verizon variant should NOT work in Greece on a Greek carrier.

Are you sure for that? If i am not wrong this is an US version too, whats the diference and i can use sgh t999 in Greece?
I used to think it was native but apparently not. You can still enable worldwide roaming though.
Here's the thread, you need to do some hackery

You can just root it and and flash the synergy mod rom and it will work on any carrier
Does it actually have a SIM card slot or just a built in one?
If you're looking to use it primarily in your area I'd look for a different phone - sell or trade this one. I've heard the GSM can be used but that it's pretty terrible and certainly not what you'd want for a primary phone.

Folks,
Please take a Min and help a me out. Me and wife are currently stationed and residing in Kuwait.We are using an Unlocked Roger Canada XT925. boot-loader unlocked as well Kuwait launched 4G LTE service late last year. The LTE network runs on 1800MHz band 3. the same Band as Telstra Australia, and O2 Germany. i have tired almost everything to get my LTE working, yet no luck. Now, the service run on the Iphone 5 and my LTE USB dongle with no problems.
List of things i tried.
1- flashed the following firmware using RSD LITE 6.4
a- JB Telstra Australia
b- JB Orange France- LTE ON
c- JB SFR France- LTE ON
d- JB Retail Brazilian
Currently running JB O2 Germany
2- tired the service menu to switch to LTE and that didn't work.
3- Attempted to change the band but unable to select or change.
4- the SIM card work fine on the Iphone, so no sim issue
5- The service is activated
Oops I answered on the thread in dev section lol here's my answer:
4G isn't really LTE. Since you said it uses the same band as used the other 2 providers you should be able to access LTE by flashing the correct radios or the whole rom & using an LTE sim

I understand the different between 4G, 4G+ and LTE. Kuwait is LTE running on 1800MHz B3. my sim card is LTE. when i switch the sim card to the iphone 5 the LTE works fine. I listed all the firmware i tried. im not sure what im missing here
I will write it again
There are 3 version of Razr Hd
XT926 for Verizon
XT925 for Canada, 4G band 700/1700/2100
XT925 for UK & Australia 4G bands 800/1800/2600
That's mean if you bought your device from US or Canada then don't waste your time, 4G will not work...
But if you have the Europe or Australian version then you need to flash the correct firmware.
how can I get an unlocked sch-i535 to work on tmobile and access the LTE network, is there a certain rom, kernel, apn, or any other settings/process that can be done to work? I have a tmobile sim card in it and am only running on Edge Network, and since Phoenix (where I live) has LTE I want it bad
Shouldn't work. Most anyone has gotten (like you) is Edge data once they've edited their APNs. Additionally, each carrier supports different LTE bands so it's not compatible on Verizon's GSIII. It's not like the Optimus G which just had a dormant LTE band waiting to be exploited.
