Sim card?

What size Sim card does this phone take? Mines should be arriving today someone, wanna know if I need to grab a new Sim. Currently using sgs2 TMobile. Do I need that really tiny card?

it uses micro SIM. So yes, you need that tiny SIM.

Make sure you get micro and not nano.

You can also chop up a regular SIM using a template from online if you are adventurous.

Nothing as the phone doesn't support Verizon's frequencies. It would show no service.

I tried just for giggles and it said something like "Invalid SIM" in the service area.

Anyone use ATT Prepaid on the S4?

I was wondering if anyone is using this? Does ATT have prepaid micro sims? Will I need to sim unlock my device? Thanks!

As long as you activate the SIM on the AT&T or international variant that you have, you didn't specify, it will work. I do not think you will have LTE though.

I use to have go phone $60 plan on it. It works great. Go to the att store and they should hook it all up for you. Inculding the micro Sim card. You'll get LTE. Just have them program it correctly.

It should come for free with the purchase of the 60$ plan. Check our your nearest att store. All the stores around me give it for free.

Well...my s4 is on ATT prepaid 2gb data plan and LTE works just fine. Stock MF3 firmware.

Is it posible?

I have a ATT s4 with the screen completed cracked? My friend has a s4 sprint that he is selling. My question is if i buy the s4 sprint version and swap my att motherboard to the sprint will it work?

No. You will run into issues with connecting to the network. You will spend half the money on an AT&T full screen assembly.

Most likely no, you will have to get an AT&T model.

I thought AT&T and T-Mobile S4's were identical just different bands.

My theory is it would still have connection issues. I could never wrong so someone please correct if I'm wrong

Though they are identical, it is still best to always get OEM parts for your specific model number. The assembly is part of the antennas. The antenna lengths will vary per provider to connect to their respective networks. Any change or variations of antennas that are not exactly correct to the providers standards will greatly hinder cell signal performance. Also, the motherboards are identical but the back housing and front screen assembly of both will more than likely be different with how the antenna connects. Like I said, just get an AT&T one.

Man that's pricey, I am glad there is a definitive answer however at that price, samsung definitely fixes it cheaper.

The tmobile screen will work without issue. I exchanged my atts scratched up screen/housing with that of a tmobile s4. No issues with connection at all. Other than a damn shinny new screen

Tmobile screen will work fine you just need to swao the displays.
