Hi there! I'm moving back to India tomorrow after a few years in the US and I'm interested in getting my off-contract Verizon Galaxy Nexus and Sprint Galaxy S3 working in Delhi/NCR. I realize neither will work on a GSM network as the VZW is the I515.9 baseband and the Sprint one lacks a SIM slot, but can I get them running on a local CDMA carrier like MTS or *shudder* Reliance?
I've done some digging online and in here, but I can't seem to find anything about getting either device working on a CDMA network in India other than warnings that some carriers may not activate them if they aren't on their own "approved devices list". Any help with where I should post is greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much for your help and happy new year!
Hi,
Since you are asking about multiple devices, I suggest you try asking here first,

If that doesn't help, you could ask for help in the individual device sections...

hi i'm a new one on this forum and i wont your help please
i have a Samsung galaxy S3 sprint i bought on ebay and this model of GS3 doesn't has GSM Sim Card slot.
i'm looking for motherboard that it has sim card slot and i wont to change the motherboard using all part of GS3 Sprint.
So Effectively you want to gut the phone and use just the body to transplant into a GSM Phone. The motherboard of ATT SGH-I747, (ATT GS3) is available on Ebay as well. But you have to understand a large part of the money you paid for this phone was to wards the motherboard you don't want. Also even if you did buy a motherboard from Ebay or elsewhere, there's no guarantee that IT'S IMEI is not blocked.
Either way, please post in Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
or post in AT&T Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right experts may be of help.
I am new to the science of "rooting" phones. I am trying to change the carrier on my old sgh-i727 galaxy s2. I have an at&t carrier and would like to change it to brightspot? T-Mobile. I just need some guidance.
Hi,
Rooting doesn't really have anything to do with Sim unlocking, which is what it sounds like you're after.
You can try this method, but read very carefully... I'd read the first several pages for sure,
> AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727 > AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket General > unlock free proceed at your own risk!
Or the easier method is to pay a few bucks (it's not that expensive) in a cell unlock site for a code to unlock. Here's a thread that talk about that...
> AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727 > AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket General > SIM unlock
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
I was looking for Samsung Galaxy S3 to use on Straight Talk. It was for the nice lady who works the phones out my place of employment.
I found a great deal on craigslist, US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-530R) I check the ESN, its not stolen.
I use the Straight Talk BYOP Finder tool to check compatibility. It tells me as what I learn later to be a "generic CDMA message" that it spits out for every CDMA ESN saying it will work with a network access code
The phone is not compatible they say, they don't care their tool didn't even get me some McDonalds before it ****ed me.
What can I do with this phone? US Cellular is more expensive than most plans around here at least and there is no US Cellular store within 100 miles.
Thank you for any time you spend here, you're all given a limited amount of time on this earth and you're spending some of it helping a stranger with a phone problem. Thank you. Happy Newyears!
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your issue that has a solution. If your phone supports the radio bands on straight talk, it should be possible. Not sure if you need to sim unlock the device also.
Best to ask for help in this dedicated help thread in your device section,

I have free data roaming. I would love be amazing if you could figurate a way to avoid searching for available networks every time I need to go from one carrier to another. How can I save the available networks search results? Please see the screenshot attached. Thank you for your reply.
