I have T-mobile service, but a friend of mine gave me a Note Edge for Verizon, because my phone died on me. I couldn't turn down a free phone even if it isn't originally for my carrier. Being that the Verizon phone is unlocked it will work on T-mobile's network however it comes with all of their software, and lacks some of the features the T-mobile version would else wise come with. This may be a silly question, but has anyone found a way to root and change maybe the rom or software boot sequence of a verizon phone to flash it to T-mobile software? Is that possible?
Since Sprint has a deal to get GS7/edge get second GS7/edge 50% off. I am on Verizon and, I have a friend on Sprint who is upgrading to new S7 edge, but if I took the second phone 50% off to take to Verizon would it work if I put Verizon sim in it?

According to what I read, as long as the first sim in the phone is the one you want to use (in your case verizon) the phone will lock as a verizon phone instead of sprint. if a sprint sim is in it first, its all over.
Theoretically you can, the thing might be dealing with Horizon with giving you the phone brand new in the box without the SIM in it, that could be the tricky part but I wouldn't know since I've never dealt with Verizon.
Let us know what you find please.
Upgraded my s5 to the s6 edge and i'm trying to get it on the network. The s5 has a large sim and the s6 has the micro sim so i couldn't just swap. Went to verizon. took the phones down and there system would not open up my new s6 phone. i checked online and the esn is not black listed but it also says no results found. the seller is trustworthy and said he unlocked it and used it on t-mobile for years, verizons plan was to have me bring in a phone that had a micro sim and would register. they would make a working sim. then switch them right back out.
What are your thoughts suggestions and ideas, i will be calling verizon again be 100 percent positive that if a friend brings down their verizon phone and does it for me that they wont have any issues at all.
I pay so much for this verizon unlimited that it really is a shame they cant get me fixed up, and switching plans is not an option. thanks everyone
I've been trying to switch my Sprint Note5 to Cricket Wireless carrier and have been having all sorts of issues. Sprint claims they have now unlocked my phone but every time I go to the Cricket Store they put a SIM in and it says my phone is locked and wont work. Cricket claims my phone IS compatible but we cant figure out what else to do to get the phone to work with the Cricket SIM. Anyone have an idea of what else I can do? I want to get rid of Sprint ASAP >.>
How unlock used Samsung Galaxy Book 2 (Verizon) so I can use T-Mobile SIM??
My friend bought a used Galaxy Book 2, put in his t-Mobile Sim and message came up that stated something to the effect that his device needs a Verizon Sim. Even with this message (as someone said it still worked) it did not get a signal.
He cannot return this as he bought it from some 3rd party he will never see again.
He has T-Mobile as a carrier for quite a few phones and has some sort of lifetime extra device -T-Mobile sim plan he can use so he does not want to move just this device to Verizon.
The question is can this be unlocked by Verizon store? And even if it is and APN settings are changed would it work with a T-Mobile Sim?
I know nothing about these LTE laptops and not sure at least for Samsung if the radio in it is somewhat universal or compatible with most US carriers.
Thank you for any advice.
I appreciate it.
Sincerely
Peter
