Hey so I just bought a phone from sprint, it's a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge model SM-G935U. I read somewhere that SM-G935P is for sprint so what is mine. Is it an unlocked version? I may sound like a complete noob but if it is unlocked, can I take out the sim card from my iphone 6s (activated with boost mobile), and put it in my galaxy and have boost mobile service?

Hi everybody, my wife has this Samsung galaxy s5 gt-19700 that she purchased when she was out of the country to India. I went to a T-Mobile store to have it activated and for some reason I was told that it cannot be activated because the device was not manufactured to work with the U.S networks. I google this device and there seems to be no report about it here in the states. Does anybody have this, and if so, is the fellow at T-Mobile pulling my legs about activating this device.
Any comment will be greatly appreciated
Its a fake Galaxy S5. The model number for Galaxy S5 is SM-G900, and for a T-Mob variant its SM-G900T.
If your wife bought it in India then there's a high chance it'll be optimised for India's/standard GSM or CDMA networks. US networks are different to India's and so the T-Mobile guy's probably right in saying it can't be activated on their network
Im going to buy An Galaxy S5 after 2 days...... is it a good idea? Btw i live in India.

Thnx., it was too good to be true/genuine device, but she used it while she was over there. Anyways, thanks for the info. I will have to toss it in the trash where it belong.
Is it possible for Samsung Galaxy S5 on Sprint to go on my existing ATT service?
(bought phone on craigslist, guy has past due bill...)

All Your Question / Answers Goes Here : S5 Help Forums
Basically went through internet - no aswers found. I bought my S6 from a shop ( I live in EU, no Verizon here), not a carrier but it has some Verizon apps on it, which sounds pretty bad for me.
How can I check it to be sure?
Check the model number under Settings -> About Phone
If it ends in a V I believe it is Verizon
SM-G920A --- AT&T Galaxy S6 SM-G920A
SM-G920F --- International Galaxy S6 SM-G920F
SM-G920P --- Sprint Galaxy S6 SM-G920P, including Boost Mobile
SM-G920R4 --- US Cellular Galaxy S6 SM-G920R4
SM-G920T --- T-Mobile Galaxy S6 SM-G920T
SM-G920V --- Verizon Galaxy S6 SM-G920V
The Verizon version says Verizon on the back with a check mark lol

You can use the debloater app to disable most of them.

Yeah, I'm loving the S6, just sucks I got it after lockdown.
Hi all!
I've recently been offered a Samsung S6 Edge 128GB for a really good price.
The problem is it is network locked to o2 network.
Can i network unlock my S6 Edge without rooting the device? If so can this be done without upsetting KNOX?
I overheard somebody saying you could alter the bootloader to do this?
Ideally i would like the standard Samsung software/firmware rather than o2 networks modified version. That way i have unlocked handset free of o2 apps and images at boot. Is this possible?
Device: SM-G925F
OS: 6.0.1
All help much appreciatted!
