Hi,
I use my international variant S7(sm-g930f) on the ATT network, and they notified me that my phone will not work on their network in February 2022 because they are shutting down 3g in my area. They say my phone will not work on hd voice.
Two things I notice is that my phone does have 4g lte, and the ATT variant S7(SM-G930A) will still work.
Is it possible to make my phone still work on their network by installing ATT variant firmware?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm using a verizon M8 on a non-verizon network. The Verizon version should support 4G LTE on band 3 and 14 (the hardware should even support 3,4,7,13). My provider supports 4G LTE on band 3 and 7, yet i don't receive 4G.
I'm guessing Verizon locks 4G to their network. Is there any way to unlock my phone so i can use 4G LTE with my provider? (T-mobile NL)
I am willing to do anything. Already reflashed my phone with verizon ROM but that doesn't help obviously because it's not a stock rom..
Thanks!
There is a working solution for the Android:

I think, there IS a way to adopt it to the Windows Phone.
htc m8 for windows verizon
Any news how to activate lte band?
looking for this too. In my country there are 3/20 bends and verizon edition has that band but I cant use 4g
Hello everyone,
I bought a samsung s10e that I suspect is the AT&T version G970UZKAATT. This phone is supposed to come sim unlocked.
- Does that mean that when I insert a TMob sim card, will it reboot like the S9 and the TMobile logo will show up, then
the phone will work just like a regular TMob version G970UZKATMB?
- Will it have wifi-calling for TMob?
- Will it support all TMob LTE and HSPA frequencies e.g. band 71?
- Do all versions of the G970U support the same frequencies once unlocked just as these websites suggest?

Hardwares all the same. No, it wont boot with a Tmob logo. If you want it to act like a Tmob G970 flash the Tmob firmware.
I was just testing a S10e that has G970U1 as model (probably flashed) on the back says G970U.... I inserted an Ultra Mobile SIM card (TMob mvno) and it seems that the wifi calling works on the unlocked ROM .... So no need to flash TMob version, I believe.
Can anyone confirm wifi calling works on the factory unlocked version?
I have the g970u1 factory unlocked with u1 firmware. It has tmobile wifi calling. The only things missing are tmobile video calling and that rcs messaging I think. But, I flashed the tmobile u firmware a couple months back and the phone booted up like a tmobile branded one with the jingle and stuff. I didn't need those so I reflashed the u1

Thank you so much for confirming. I've just got my g970u1 factory unlocked and wifi calling with Ultra (TMob mvno) seems to work too. I tested using airplane mode enabling just wifi and I can still make calls
Will an unlocked TMobile version of this phone work on an existing Verizon line without having to ask verizon to white list the imei or add cdma less etc?

I have Unlocked T-mobile A71 5G, It works on Verizon network like 4G LTE (just swap the SIM card even I have 5G Sim card from Verizon) but NO 5G because they are using different 5G Band.
I have the same question, but on cricket wireless, I can't get the phone to login to their network
It works just fine on any GSM/LTE network. I have not checked this personally for this device, but depending on the variant you have, you may be missing some LTE or 5G bands specific Verizon. You may not get full performance. That must be verified though.
I am thinking of purchasing a Samsung Note 20. If a phone is unlocked I assume it would work on T-Mobile. My question is if I purchase an ATT variant, I know the phone would work with a T-mobile sim, but will VOLTE (wireless calling) work if it an ATT branded phone and wether there's an issues with updates.
Thank you

Basically it should work.
According to the following thread, there might be some issues using 5g though:
At&t Note20 Ultra unlcoked on T-mobile help

I have a Verizon branded SM-G970U (unlocked) using Consumer Cellular. Icon shows 4G LTE, but when making calls, automatically switches to 3G. Also, no VoLTE in settings. CC reps say phone isn’t compatible with 4G, but having a hard time believing that. Any suggestions? Would flashing firmware with a newer version make any difference? Any help appreciated.
