Verizon Galaxy To TMobile
« on: May 30, 2014, 07:43:22 AM »
I'm trying to determine if there is any way a Verizon Galaxy S4 can be converted to be used with another carrier, like TMobile.
TIA!

I know you can switch an AT&T phone to T-Mobile since they both use SIM cards. Verizon uses CDMA network that usually doesn't use SIM cards.

You probably also won't be able to use all the features on a Verizon phone if you put in a T-Mobile SIM card.

I don't think you're right.

If it does have a SIM card slot you might be able to unlock the Verizon phone and use it with a T-Mobile SIM card.

Unlock it.
It is unlocked but I was told it can only be used as unlocked outside of the US.

It has a sim card slot but even though it is unlocked the TMobile sim didn't work in it.

There is a way to unlock for the U.S.
I've seen it done.

What do you mean it didn't work? Did you switch to GSM mode? Did you change the APN?
According to what I've read, if you do those it should work.

If they both we're gsm phones you would be able to swap SIM cards, but if one is gsm and one is cdma you can't change them
