All,
Traveling to Brazil in November. I have a stock Verizon GS3. Can this phone do roaming on the Verizon SIM or if not, can I plug a local SIM on this phone?
Thanks all for your input!

All,
Traveling to Paris France for 10 days. I have the ATT LG G3. Got a couple of questions:
- Their international roaming worth it? 120mb for $30 or 300mb for $60
- Can I unlock the phone from ATT? Or should I go through those phone unlcok sites?
- Anyone know of good France carriers that will give me LTE via prepaid SIM?
Thanks for all your info!
I switched to sprint about 5 months ago and I got my s5 with a 2 year contract. We also got another line with another phone. The account is in good standing with payments on time always. Will Sprint unlock it for me so I can use it on a trip im taking overseas? I'm not sure what their policy is..and I know they do it OTA, so that means I have to be on stock rom right?
Yes stock rom. Sprint more than likely unlick. Of course you will have to mnew monthly charges. But depend sd wherr your going. If going to us territories sprint will work. Just call sptint anf see
They will usually unlock it for international roaming after having the phone on your account for 90 days.

please note that most of the world is now based on GSM and Sprint is a CDMA based service. Once unlocked you would probably need a GSM sim card installed in order to use the S5 (this sim card can either be one from the US, a more expensive option, or a local sim wherever you are traveling to).
In Europe, especially UK, there are many cheap GSM sim operators.

Yeah that's the plan for me to buy a local sim in that country so I can use the phone with a local number there. Do you know what bands the gsm works on?

Depending on the country involved they use 900 and 1800 mainly but the s5 has all the bands used in Europe. Note that T Mobile is a major carrier so you should be ok with this phone if it is truly unlocked
Hello,
I'm currently on AT&T with an HTC One M7. I've had my fair share of rooting and playing around with this and with my contract ending in 2 months, I've been eyeing the Z3 as my go to device for the next 2 years and intend on buying it before my contract is up to just replace my HTC soon.
1) Currently it would be a hassle for me to call AT&T to get a new nano SIM card, so I guess that purchasing a cutter to convert my current one into a nano SIM would be fine? I wouldn't need to call them up to mess around with a new IMEI or anything assuming I'm basically using the exact same SIM card?
2) I've heard that the D6633 version (dual SIM) has full support for AT&T LTE whereas D6603 is merely only 4G. Can anyone clarify this?
Thank you
I have full LTE on AT&T. I just needed to have a nano SIM card installed at an AT&T store. There were zero issues.

I've also got full LTE on a D6603 on AT&T--speed leaves HSPA+ in the dust. Purchased directly from Sony store and registered as a new line with the guy in the AT&T store scanning the box for the IMEI code. No problems at all although it does seem to need a strong LTE signal. At home I have to switch network mode to WCDMA/GSM or it will constantly hunt between LTE and H+ with a significant battery hit.
I bought my phone from India around a year ago. I migrated to USA. Here SIM slot 1 is not working at all. I'm not able to get any network. And on SIM slot 2 I'm not getting any internet connection. I'm using t-mobile as my network operator.
