Tmobile Note 5 on with Verizon Sim?? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

Can someone please do me a huge favor? If you have a T-mobile note 5 and another Verizon 4g phone, and your note 5 is unlocked. Can you please pop the Verizon sim card into the note 5..
I have Verizon service and can't switch anytime soon, but I looked up the specs on the Verizon and T-Mobile Note 5 and they have the same bands. I want to buy an unlocked T-Mobile Note 5 so I can have root, but I need to make sure it will work on Verizon first.

I thought Verizon didn't use sim cards? I read somewhere that Verizon and Sprint phones can be used with Att/Tmo but not the other way. Could be wrong though.

Theoretically you could but only for data not sure if Verizon will let you. calling requires CDMA which our phone does not have. Attached Verizon specs.

Data works great. Just no calls nor text. Tried it for myself

Is there no way to force VoLTE on Verizon for calling and messaging? I was just gifted an unlocked T-mobile Note 5, but I'm on Verizon.

I have no idea. I traded the phone away a couple days ago for a edge plus

Ya I am in same boat as you , I'm waiting for my note 5 tmobile to be unlocked , I will let you as soon as possible , 1 to 2 days hopefully

Tested mine with the latest update, temp unlock method selected. No dice with VZW, but I could access ATT service, so I know the unlock was successful.

No. Not that I am aware of. Volte is registered on vzw sides and requires an approved phone to activate. The only option you might have is a close to stock vzw note 5 rom
Just to answer an old question

There is no such thing as a Verizon Note 5 rom.
So far the Verizon Note 5 phone is not root-able at
all, check out the Verizon Note 5 XDA forum and
see for yourself.
None of the Verizon Samsung Note 5 or the Verizon S6 Edge+ phones are root-able.
(just like the AT&T Note 5 and the AT&T S6 Edge+ in xda forums are not root-able.)
But in any case Good luck, and have a very Merry Christmas.

I am currently using the oneplus one, but like to try the galaxy note 5. I saw this one on ebay and wonder if this will work with tmobile 4G LTE Band.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Samsung...locked-GOLD-/361372540381?hash=item54237b5ddd
It saids LTE B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/25/26/28/38/39/40/41 from his listing.
But does tmobile use 1700/2100MHz is it band 4?
Just little afraid getting it from overseas in case no LTE with tmobile
Based on the supported bands it will work with most Tmobile bands except HSPA (3G) on the 1700 band. You will also not have WiFi calling or VoLTE on band 12 since it's not a certified device. You would be better off buying the tmobile note 5 N920T unless those things I mentioned don't matter to you.
Supported Bands:
2G/Voice Bands: 850/900/1800/1900
3G/HSPA Bands: 850/900/1900/2100
LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12/17/25/26/28/38/39/40/41

Found a local seller here for a brand new tmobile phone. $500 I texted him earlier regarding the phone.
Good thing I ask is the phone already paid off. I am sure some buyer don't remember to ask then end up having problem.

If the phone is not paid off I would not buy it. I would use an upgrade, Jump or Jump on Demand. Jump on Demand would probably be best if you like to switch phones often.

Unlocked AT&T note 5

Wonder if the unlocked AT&T Galaxy note 5 will work with tmobile 4g lte? Or will I only get 3G or HSPA+ ?
You will get LTE
+1
You'll get LTE but you may or may not get VoLTE, which could cause problems in Band 12-only areas if you don't.

Possibly enable LTE Roaming if you have your PRL? It's in the ##DATA# menu.

set priority #1 for band 4 in LTE settings inside the DATA Menu, you need MSL code to be able to do it

I am trying to do the exact same thing. I have had the Sprint Note 5 with a Straight Talk T-Mobile SIM in it for a while. And it does work but something is definitely not right. I have messed with the APN settings and I have my MSL and have checked data setting and put the band priority for 2, 4, and 12.
Not sure what's wrong but just can't seem to get it right.
You will not have CA on T-mobile or ATT on Sprint phone. Sprint phone only supports CA on band 41

Verizon Pixel Bands vs Google Store Pixel Bands

Are the bands on both the same or different. The Verizon Pixel XL seems to be lacking band 7, 12,17 26, 29, 30. Verizon has a habit of blocking essential bands so they don't work on LTE with other carriers in North America such as ATT and Tmobile. Can someone confirm? Thanks.

All VZW LTE phones are carrier unlocked. Most of these phones have bands to work on TMO and ATT. My son used a VZW Note 3 for a few years on TMO. The VZW Pixel should have all the same bands as the Google Store version. We'll find out in a few days but I'd bet you'll be fine.
Yes all of us know verizon phones are UNLOCKED. But they DONT have ALL THE BANDS that ATT and Tmobile use. The note 3 has band 4 and 13 and lacks band 17 and 12 so if you have ATT and tmobile where they use band 12 or 17 it will revert TO 3G SPEEDS. I use ATT And VZW . If I am buying the VZW model i want FULL FUNCTIONALITY OF ALL THE BANDS that the google store Pixel xl offers. NOT THE HALF ASSED with BANDS MISSING NOTE 3 or Samsung esque like versions.
google store pixel lte bands: FDD LTE: B 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/20/25/26/28/29/30 TDD LTE 41
VZW pixel LTE BANDS 2,3,4,5,7, 13, 20,28 Missing BANDS 1,8, 12, 17, 25,26,29 and 30.

Thanks for that but do you realize 3 years ago TMO didn't use band 12 in Chicago let alone anywhere because they didn't own the spectrum so that's a non issue. Around here TMO primary LTE band is still 4. Three years ago the VZW Note 3 worked perfectly w/ TMO, ATT I don't care about since I nver use them. The VZW Pixel will have all bands, to change that they need a different radio which isn't going to happen since Google is in charge of the software not to mention the hardware is the same for both, wait 3 days we'll see for sure.

Won't happen, I'd bet on it. They will be the same, VZW is known for lying a little.
They DONT need different chipsets or hardware for different bands. I am in the hardware industry. You can have the same chipset and lock different bands via different firmware. The qualcomm chips allow for that.
Can someone please confirm this? I am in the same boat as the OP. Want to use ATT Band 12/17 on the VZW model Pixel. I had to flash AT&T firmware onto my Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge in order to unlock these LTE bands. Hoping that since this is a more "vanilla" phone it may have the bands unlocked already.
I was wondering about this as well. I was going to just go to Verizon store and buy it since they have Pixel XL in stock but I am not sure if it has Band 12 for T-Mobile. Any information on this would help! Thanks guys!
Doesnt seem to be good news some guy on the pixel xl forum used att sim with the verizon pixel and only getting H+ speed. So lets see. Dont believe the PC mag article one bit. They said the boot loader was unlocked but turned out to be LOCKED.
