So with the refarm..can you clarify some things for me. An att phone will or won't get 4g hspa+42 on tmobile? If and when Tmobile gets LTE will an existing att 4glte phone will or won't work on tmobile future lte network?
If an att phone will get 4ghspa+42 and future tmobile 4glte
it would seem to make more sense to get an SIII unlocked att phone since it would future proof things in that it unlike a current tmobile version would eventually get 4glte?
No
I believe there are currently no att phones that get 4g on tmobile. I do think 1 or 2 tmobile phones that will work with att. Lte depend on the band of lte if it will work or not but most likely no
but if they do the refarm woudn't att bands work on tmobile?
So the S6 on Verizon is $600. I want a cheaper price, but I want LTE on T-Mobile. Does Verizon's S6 work with T-Mobile's frequencies?

What about AT&T and HSPA+ on T-Mobile?

Why wouldn't it? The Verizon S6 supports AWS Band 4 which is what the majority of T-Mobile's LTE network is...
For sure Tmobile LTE will work on Verizon phones including iphone 5s 6 6+ Nexus 6 and LG G3
I have not tried the GS6 but it should work
I'm curious about it's GSM ability as well. I am going to London next month and am hoping I can buy a prepaid SIM there and be good to go. I am grandfathered on the unlimited data with Verizon so I paid full price for the phone, it should be unlocked or unlockable for use overseas, no?
guys i will answer for you.
I bought 3 SG6 from Verizon and none of them connect to 4g, fine with HSPA+, LTE, Edge, and everything else but forget about 4g
Lte is 4g

On T-Mobile they appear to actually have 4G and LTE networks. Not sure what the differences are underlying the two, but it is actually a meaningful distinction with T-Mobile. I just recently did a "test drive" on T-Mobile and learned of this (it was rather confusing at first because I'm used to 4G = LTE on Verizon).

Hspa+ is 4G on tmobile your phone won't say 4g it will say h+. Tmobile phones are just use the 4g icon instead of h+
Any definite answer as to if Verizon S6 will work on T-Mobile for voice, edge, 3g, and lte?
Hi,
I'm using a verizon M8 on a non-verizon network. The Verizon version should support 4G LTE on band 3 and 14 (the hardware should even support 3,4,7,13). My provider supports 4G LTE on band 3 and 7, yet i don't receive 4G.
I'm guessing Verizon locks 4G to their network. Is there any way to unlock my phone so i can use 4G LTE with my provider? (T-mobile NL)
I am willing to do anything. Already reflashed my phone with verizon ROM but that doesn't help obviously because it's not a stock rom..
Thanks!
There is a working solution for the Android:

I think, there IS a way to adopt it to the Windows Phone.

Any news how to activate lte band?
looking for this too. In my country there are 3/20 bends and verizon edition has that band but I cant use 4g
Check out the video

I've read that the verizon note 5 doesn't use the same LTE band as att
Can you verify that data speeds are full LTE speeds.
I'm wanting to switch to att for the unlimited data plan they are now offering but I can't justify new phones when I already have relatively new ones.

Verizon note 5 had lte band 2,4 which AT&T uses. AT&T uses band 17 too which is the main band so when I'm out of that band it will connect to band 2 or 4 and if not I'll just get hspa speed
Need some help. I am planning on switching from Sprint to T-Mobile as Sprint has become outrageously expensive if you own your phone with all these additional fees they are charging. So I wanted to know if the Galaxy S6 from Sprint would work with the T-Mobile network including LTE and all of it's features or what would I need to do for it to be able to work on T-Mobile. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
T-Mobile uses LTE bands 2, 4, and 12. Band 4 seems to be the primarly LTE band T-Mobile uses. The Sprint S6 (920P) does not have LTE bands 4 and 12 according to this thread/page. I would get a T-Mobile model phone to get full access to their network.
