Anyone have a z3 (not a z3v) on Verizon's network? I'm looking to buy an unlocked version but I'm hearing of all the verizon stipulations of phones you can put on their network...ex nexus 5 can work on verizon but won't

[Q] Can a Verizon unlocked iPhone4 be used on Sprints network? Sorry if this is a noob question but i have no experience with unlocking phones and using phones on other networks.
Hello
umm yes im pretty sure, google for it so you can confirm me
A Sprint/Verizon iphone 4 can't be "unlocked" considering it doesn't have a SIM card slot. You can flash it to metro or boost mobile, quite possibly to Sprint but its not your typical method of entering an unlock code. Even if it was the 4s, it still can only be unlocked to work on an international GSM carrier, not AT&T or T-Mobile within the states.
Hi, I'm the current owner of a Nexus 5, but I was looking to downsize, but keep a decent camera. So, I've recently became interested in the HTC One Mini, and I was wondering which version would be compatible with T-Mobile USA's LTE network. The international/European version or the AT&T version? Thank you in advance
AT&T is definitely compatible. Don't know about the international version though.

I know that verizon has it's own Z3v, but from what I can tell the z3 from tmobile has the same bands on it's radio as the verizon variant.
If my z3 from tmobile is unlocked can I use it on Verizon? I do not have a current verizon sim card to test, so I thought someone here might have tried already. Would rather just keep my existing phone than go to a lesser version of it on verizon.
Thanks ahead of time...
No its not possible, as they need to register your ESN and considering the D6616 is GSM only, it does not have an ESN.
Also you cannot use Sprint/Verizon on each others network as they won't allow it (ESN) . But you can use Sprint and Verizon phones, those which also have GSM in addition to CDMA on AT&T and T-Mobile
I used my Sprint LG G2 (supports CDMA & GSM) on T-Mobile till I got the Z3.
Here is an article:

Thanks for the info. I didn't have my hopes up, but it would have been nice.
I'm in the US and is considering getting a S6. However at&t versions have the ugly logo on the back.....which does not affect t-mobile model. I wonder if I can go buy a full priced t-mobile galaxy S6 (and get it unlocked) and insert my at&t sim card in it. Compared the bands on their websites but the information seems to be partial....Any one could help determine if the t-mobile version will be fully functional on at&t network? Thanks a lot!
Besides, I haven't used t-mobile phones before...Will a fully paid galaxy s6 come to me unlocked? Or do I need to ask them for an unlock code? I see that the tmobile iphones are unlocked by default, but I don't know if this applies to S6..
Hello everyone,
I am looking to buy an Unlocked Note 9 (US Version) to be used primarily on the Sprint Network. I am looking at new phones on Ebay and Amazon and they are all labeled as GSM unlocked or some of them say GSM and CDMA unlocked, yet they all say they cannot work on the Sprint or Metro PCS or Verizon network. Some of the ads show that they have SM-960U1(unlocked) firmware some others show SM-960U firmware while still stating "unlocked", but I am not sure if they understand the difference or maybe I do not.
Aside for the phone being blacklisted on these networks, is there any other reason why a Note 9 would not work on these CDMA networks if they are truly unlocked? Thanks in advance.

If you're going to be using the device primarily on Sprint, why not get an unlocked Sprint version of Note 9? It is guaranteed to work on Sprint's network plus if it is unlocked, it can be used on other carrier networks.

Hello Droidriven, I am trying to look for this, but I am unable to. I have not seen any ads specifically stating Sprint Unlocked. Every unlocked phone whether GSM or CDMA unlocked states something along the lines, will not work on sprint or verizon or metro. If the phone is truly unlocked and supports the CDMA bands that Sprint uses, then what is the reason behind it?
I am wondering if I can just buy a Sprint only Note9 then flash the SM-960U1(unlocked) firmware for it?
I went through the same issues with sprint, got a note 9 unlocked from a friend an they said it is not compatible. So I asked about buying a note 9 unlocked from them. I asked what is model number and it was the exact same as the one I just got. I asked what is the difference between one from them and the note 9 I baught from my friend, They said no difference, EXACT SAME! Sprint Just wanted me and you to buy a new phone from them in a contract. The Unlocked model's have modems for both, CDMA and GSM. I was with sprint for 20 years, they were decent only for good deals, service was **** in Milwaukee. I left them for spectrum. No issues and great service. Sorry 2 years late..
