Recently Verizon Galaxy S6 or S6 edge good deals often appear on slickdeals.
I would like to buy Verizon Galaxy S6 if good deal appear.
But now I transferred to T-mobile, i wonder that Verizon Galaxy S6 can enable mobile hotspot (Wifi Ththering) function without Verizon sim card.
My wife have Verizon LG G3 and I put the my t-mobile sim card, it caught signal. But it won't enable mobile hotspot and error message popup with following message
"Not a Verizon sim card. Please contact to Verizon Wiress customer....Need a Verizon simcard in order to work. ...............Blah blah"
Who can success mobile hotspot enabled on T-Mobile or ATT or any MVNO network without root/foxfi ?
I known that latest Samsung Galaxy can enable Mobile hotspot without verizon simcard.

At work today, in a Walmart Connection Center, I tried out an AT&T sim and a Verizon branded sim in one of the LTE compatible Straight Talk devices (Galaxy Core Prime) that uses Verizon's towers. I thought it was interesting to know that the requirement for Verizon LTE phones to be carrier unlocked also applies to MVNOs. I have yet to try and activation of such devices with another carrier, but the cards worked just fine. I suspect that Verizon will have the IMEIs blacklisted, but that's just speculation. If anyone has tried this, I am curious now if they would activate them.
I'm using a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge on Cricket that uses ATT network
I am unlocked and I am on mobile share plan that allows tethering. I have no problem tethering in the US with my ATT SIM card.
However, when I use another SIM card (for data in europe), I get a message "authentication was unsuccessful" when trying to activate the hotspot.
If I put the same SIM into my galaxy S4, have no problem activating the hotspot and tethering.
Any idea what's going on? Clearly the foreign SIM is fine. And the phone is capable of tethering (on ATT).
You might need to unlock the tethering hotspot, look in the at&t lg g3 general forum, for a thread titled "LG G3 D850 unlock Mobile Hotspot tethering noroot" Thread by nhusby, can confirm this worked for me on my stock H810 with a USA net10 sim card
Hello,
In the past, I had unlocked Tmobile S4 , and Note 2 that were unlocked. I noticed that when using with Cricket sim card, both S4 and Note 2 had hostpot capability. Same with Sprint S6.
I am wondering if unlocked SM-N920T would have hotspot as well.
Can someone explain why unlocked phones from one company may have hotspot when used with non-native sim card.
Thanks,
So I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S7, It is paid off and I unlocked it through the T-Mobile app. I tried to put my Verizon sims card in the phone and it would refuse to connect to Verizon and then turn the antenna off. It is important for me to get this phone working please help

Tmobile is GSM and Verizon is CDMA based. The frequencies each network uses are completely different. So you need a phone that supports both GSM and CDMA technology and supports all the frequencies used at Tmobile AND Verizon.
No wifi calling option on S10E (SM-G970U1)
Model: SM-G970U1
Andriod 10: one UI: 2.1
G970U1UEU4DTF3
Using MVNO ATT SIM.
No wifi calling option to turn off/on in the dialer app, no VoLTE. MVNO said I am confirmed to enable both options though.
Is this an ATT sim restriction for unlocked/non ATT devices? I did plug in my wife's att sim card and was able to get LTE+ but no wifi-calling. This isn't a branded ATT S10E.

I have an Unlocked S10e (U1) and the only way that I could get those AT&T features was to flash the "U" firmware AND the AT&T User Data file that has all of that crappy bloatware. I also used my old AT&T SIM card that had been in AT&T's system for years on previous phones. I had to do the same thing with my Note10+ too.
Another S10e that I have is still on U1 firmware & I just popped in a T-Mo SIM with no problems. Wifi calling etc. Work except I needed to download a visual voicemail app. Otherwise working great.
AT&T makes it so difficult!
It was a must for me because I have poor AT&T service where I live & need wifi calling.

Thank you, that is what I expected from ATT. I will switch to verizon MVNO. I don't want to have an unlocked phone, only to be forced to install carrier bloat.
