I'm interested in the possibility of using an unlocked international S6 variant on Verizon's network in hopes of obtaining root. Does anyone know if this is possible? I spoke to a verizon rep on the line about this and I was told that "Theoretically, it should work fine. Verizon cannot offer support for non-verizon variants."
Can anyone with some more knowledge on this shed some light on this matter? Can the international model be activated on Verizon and rooted? If so, which S6 international model can be used?

I'm pretty sure the international version doesn't support CDMA, which is used by Verizon for 2G and 3G network. So you won't be able to call or text (data should still work though). The Verizon S6 (G920V) actually comes with a Qualcomm modem to support CDMA, as opposed to Samsung's own Shannon.

Any ideas about the Sprint Variant then? It's been rooted and is CDMA.

The Sprint variant (G920P) should be compatible with Verizon as it comes with the Qualcomm modem.
Can anyone confirm that the Sprint s6 works on Verizon????
Anyone able to determine this?? Sprint s6 working on Verizon.

I am currently using my sprint S6 on the Verizon Network.
Current issues:
PRL needs to be updated because it is preferring to use the sprint network over Verizon. This makes it so that my fastest speeds are 1Mb/s. not to mention sprint network here blows with reception.
If anyone could help me with what PRL would be the correct one to use. Also I haven't flashed the PRL before and I am reluctant to start pressing buttons in the CDMA Dev Tool.
Help would be appreciated.
Verizon itself uses the XT1028
But if I got a XT1031 which is from Boost, could it be activated on Verizon?
I assume it would need some kind of carrier unlock but not familiar with cdma vs gsm.
After much more research I've come to the conclusion that it would be impossible because Verizon restricts devices by imei and knows what devices are real verizon or not.
So even it had the radio for Verizon, it would not be allowed on the network.
I am selling my g2 and just got asked if it will work with Verizon prepaid. I know Verizon uses a different band than T-Mobile, maybe with a special rom it would work?
No.
Verizon uses their CDMA database to authenticate the phone eligibility to be used on their network.
D801 does NOT have CDMA radio so it will not be able to authenticate on Verizon network nor will Verizon have the phone's serial # on their database.
I purchased a new Boost Mobile Galaxy S7 in box but I'm on T-mobile.
I read that their network is not compatible but if I get it unlocked will it work okay?
Will the bands match for a full access to the network?
Thanks
Does any one know if a sprint version U11 will work on verizon ? Yes no CDMA compatible with verizon but as published on line verizon no longer requires a phone to have CDMA as per the unlocked version being able to work on verizon and the verizon version itself having no CDMA support either.
I"am asking because I know someone that can get me a discount on a sprint U11 I just need to know if it will work on verizon.
I tried looking up the gsm bands and all I get is one set I cant find any just specific to the sprint version. I know that even if verizon wont activate it I could just pop in a sim that was activated in a verizon phone previously.
Here is a link to an article that lists verizon no longer requires phones to support CDMA to be activated on their network as they are getting rid of CDMA.
