Hi guys! I'm thinking about buying a Verizon note 5 and bring it to Mexico with me, I don't really care about root stuff but I do care about the wifi hotspot. I've read around here that foxfi app works for Verizon note 5 even after the MM update .
So my question is if the Verizon Note 5 wifi hotspot with foxfi would work with a different carrier either in the us or overseas, has anyone tried to do that with a different carrier? Thank you!!
Anyone please ?

Hi community I would be glad if you could help me get something clear...
Does foxfi work with the network or the device itself? It says it works for example with... Verizon note 5 but what if I want to put my t mobile sim card inside a Verizon note 5 and try to wifi tether with a t mobile sim card ? Has anyone tried to use foxfi in a similar way?
I'm asking this because I finally decided and I just got a t mobile note 5 and now my brother wants one, I'm planning to give him one for his birthday but he's in t mobile and the Verizon variant is way cheaper
Thank you!
PS I apologize if this subject does not belong here as I just got my t mobile note 5 I decided to post here

I wouldn't recommend trying to run a verizon note 5 on tmobile...the 920V variant is extra locked down, so root and tons are going to be an issue...if he's ok with bone stock, sure, it'll likely work on a tmo sim with a byod account but it'll still have verizon's locked bootloader, etc, and even odin will give you **** about trying to flash another variant fw....I'm not saying it CAN'T be done, but i don't recall having read of any similar experiences and everything i know about the way samsung has locked stuff for Verizon says odin isn't going to allow another (for instance T variant) firmware to be flashed...definitely won't be able to do it without tripping knox, and likely can't at all...so it would be stock verizon or nothing...to my knowledge...
Hence why it's so much cheaper...

Okay so my husband bought a used Verizon Samsung Galaxy s6 from someone and said it was unlocked. After using it, I discovered the Wi-Fi hot-spot feature worked for free (using cricket service).
Well dropped my phone in the toilet and now it's broken. Instead of trying to get it fixed, I'd rather buy a new one, since I did have some network issues at times (I'm supposing since it was Verizon?)
Anyway, my question is.... I want to get either at&t or T-Mobile since I believe both are 100% compatible with Cricket. If I get a factory or network unlocked s6, will the hot-spot feature be enabled for free again? Or do I have to modify the phone somehow? Thanks in advance.

Maybe should ask in T-Mobile or AT&T forum.

Hi, I'm thinking about picking up a SIM-unlocked T-Mobile S7 (930T) or maybe a T-Mobile S7 Edge (935T) to run on Cricket, but I want to make sure that the phone doesn't check with the carrier before allowing hotspot (hotspot tether provisioning).
For example, I'm pretty sure the Verizon version allows hotspot to be used without pinging whatever carrier's SIM one has installed (Cricket) because that's the way it worked on my Verizon branded S6. With my Cricket SIM in it, I could still run a hotspot without the phone checking for permission with my carrier as it does with some phones like the iPhone and S7 930A. On those two phones I can't do hotspot because it checks with the carrier before allowing hotspot tethering and I don't have hotspot on my plan. I don't do hotspot that often but it's nice to have it there when I need it.
The only reason I'm not looking at a Verizon version of the S7 is because the bands I would need to run well on Cricket are switched off on the 930V.
Let me know if you know whether the T-mobile S7s allow use of the hotspot tether function without pinging the carrier for permission.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I have T-mobile s7, and I am in Italy, with an itlaian provider and hotspot is working just fine.
I think that if your phone is SIM ulocked (like mine) you can use hotspot without problem.
hope it can help
Hi everyone,
I have a problem that I would really appreciate help with. I purchased a phone from kijiji (Samsung s8+ sm-g955w) branded to freedom mobile. I have switched carriers and phone is working fine with Rogers. I moved to an area that has really bad coverage so I called to activate wifi calling.
They told me because the phone is not Rogers branded wifi calling will not work on their network.
Now I have another phone that my partner has that is also a S8+ and it is a rogers branded phone and wifi calling works on it. It is also a S8+ and the same G955W model as mine.
Can anyone guide me to any information that I can get this phone to work with wifi calling without having to sell the phone and buy a new one.
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys. I was wondering if it was at all possible to get the native hotspot feature working on the Verizon model, even if we don't have a hotspot subscription with Verizon? I use a pop out sim method with my old E4, but not sure if that will work with the Verizon Z4. I'm looking to upgrade in the near future. Anyone know of any other ways? Thanks all.
