Hello,
I am considering buying this phone from Verizon. I have been looking at the phone spec, and found that its technical model is SM-N900V. Is it inferior to the international model N9005 in anyway?
Since I travel a lot, will the difference in the network band prevent me from using this phone in certain countries? Can this problem be solved by rooting and installing custom rom/software?
Thank you!
I don't know what the complete differences are. However I do know it's an unlocked phone and can be used with other Sims.
I have a ATT phone and switch the Sims out on a regular basis.
You shouldn't have any problems traveling with this phone.

So do you mean you are able to use this phone on ATT network without a problem?

No problem at all. Just change the apn settings after you insert the sim and you are good to go.

Really? SO since we are in a Verizon thread, I just want to make sure. If we bought the retail Verizon Note 3 and have a Verizon 4g SIM in it, we can remove that, put in a ATT SIM, change the APN settings, and it will work on ATT network? Calls and Data?

Correct. hspa but not LTE I haven't seen LTE yet but then again I haven't tried an ATT LTE apn either. I believe LTE is on a different band anyway.
But it absolutely gives people in my contacts the impression that I'm calling or texting from my ATT phone. It's sweet.

Thank you for your reply. This definitely make me feel a bit better if I need to change carrier in the future.
In the mean time, can anyone here with technical knowledge tell me if there is any disadvantage in choosing Verizon's N900V over N9005? Especially for using them outside the US?
Thanks!

I get my wife a used S4 today that was previously on the Sprint network. We are on ATT and i planned on rooting the phone any ways. What all do i need to change to get rid of the sprint phone number that is on the phone, and what do i need to flash to make it work with the att network?
Don't believe it's possible. ..Sprint is CDMA and dont use SIM cards ATT uses GSM and SIM cards

Because its for international SIM cards. Your Sprint S4 WILL NOT WORK on any US carrier other than Sprint.

I'm sorry to have to disagree with this but I own a blackberry 9630 world phone from sprint and the sim slot works both with at&t as well as tmo. I understand ad long as contract is fulfilled and any etf's are paid Sprint will unlock sim slot and it will work with any carrier, gsm and CDMA alike. Check Sprint forums and speak with cs agents... :good:

Try using an Att/T-Mobile sim on an s4. It will be blocked even if the phone has been unlocked. Previous phones from sprint did not block USA native gsm but as of lately they do.
My good ol htc touch pro was a lucky one to work on USA gsm as of course your old black Berry.
You get it now? Its an accepted fact sprint has been going out of their way to block USA native gsm access on their latest phones. Perhaps some new ones aren't but the s4 is unless a work around is done but it doesn't work for everyone.

This isn't entirely true. I unlocked my Sprint HTC One to run on aio wireless which is on the ATT network. I haven't unlocked my Galaxy S4 but I intend on giving it a shot.
Call sprint and ask for a subsidy unlock code.
You'll need to provide the IMEI
*#06# on the keypad. After they give you the code, try a gsm sim. Hope this helps.

Or buy an unlock code from Amazon or ebay if they wont give it to you ofcourse

I think I've read about people unlocking for use on metro pcs which is tmobile. Thanks for heads up though, probably gonna have to buy one when I switch.
I unlocked a Sprint s4 and I am able to make calls with a AT&T micro sim in but cannot get data and texts working. I had to downgrade the baseband to get into hidden menu, but I stopped there. In the hidden menu you have to make some changes but I was scared that if I got it to work on at&t I wouldnt be able to get it back working on Sprint. Everyone does say that Sprint doesnt allow anyone to use other domestic carriers.

No. Google it and you will find that Verizon and tmobile networks are different. Verizon is CDMA and tmobile is GSM. Or something like that.

Nope, i'm actually surprised that Verizon didn't lock the phone if what the above poster said is true. The bootloader isn't what you need unlocked to move from carrier to carrier. Phones with sim cards are generally GSM and phones without sim cards are generally CDMA. GSM phones are normally locked to the specific carrier that you bought it from. CDMA phones are not usually taken on any other networks unless you are moving to a network like cricket which takes what it can get

As he said, Verizon 4G phones are all sim unlocked. Phones like this and the Note 2, which I just came from, have the CDMA and GSM bands. It is just as simple as putting in the SIM, change the APN, and be working. That said, the Note 2 could not get a 4G GSM signal only HSPA+ because of the bands it supported. I haven't checked the S5 yet, but I do believe I have seen that it does support some of the 4G GSM bands.
You are right about the CDMA part which is why it wouldn't be wise to buy, say a Sprint S5, and then come to Verizon because it does not support any CDMA bands.
so you guys can confirm that it is sim unlocked?
They always are. All Verizon Wireless 4G phones are SIM unlocked.

Bare with me if this seems like an absolutely stupid question.
When I travel I have a GSM HTC One S that I pop in a pre-paid SIM to use (say, 3 in Ireland). I believe this was a T-Mobile phone previously that I carrier unlocked. If I have a Verizon CDMA S5, I could pop in the 3 SIM and be able to use it (maybe not 4G depending on the bands) provided I updated the APN information?

Correct. I used my Note 2 in multiple European countries, lastly in Rome where it was stolen. Take your Verizon sim out at the airport, put the new one in, change APN, and voila.
(carriers I have tested with - Orange, Vodafone(multiple places), 3, Rogers in Canada)
Your S5 on Verizon isn't solely CDMA. If you look up any website with the bands it supports, you will see the GSM bands.

More than welcome. And here is the link so you can check the bands when looking at foreign carriers.
http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=4408
And even without 4G, it is still plenty fast enough to use the internet, google maps, and stream music.
What if you canceled your service and went to tmobile. Would it still work?

Looks like the One S and S5 share the same GSM bands... I'll definitely have to try it out. I know my 3 SIM works here in the US too on the phone. Thanks again, really helpful.

Hi Friends,
I'm on the Canadian side. Bought the phone with Wind Mobile, had to activate with their SIM, but then unlocked it with an unlocking code Wind provided like two hours after.
I'm now on Telus network, but the phone does not show LTE. I do recall it showing 4G/LTE when I was using the Wind sim.
Anyone have any solutions? Suggestions?
Anyone? Many thanks
Does telus has LTE? Wind doesn't have LTE, it has 4g...i am on rogers... Just another question.. Do you have Mobile Data toggle? I don't hve it.

Did you try changing the CSC to Telus? Maybe the fact that it's a wind phone disables the LTE. Just thinking out loud.

Sure thing! You need to go in your dealer and dial *#272*(insert imei)# this will take you to the csc page. If you don't know what your imei is dial *#06# and write it down. Make sure you write down the first 15 digits as it might give you 2 extra. (after a dash of course)
Once you're in there you should see your csc as GLW I think that's the wind one. If what you want is Telus then select tls.
If it's already tls leave it. That's won't resolve your issue.
***Warning***
This will wipe your device
Hope that works for you bud :thumbup:

Your phone supports LTE+. All Canadian Galaxy s7 edge models are same regardless of carrier and contain all network bands offered by the respective carriers. I believe Roger's offers 4g if I'm not mistaken which is quite similar to LTE+. If you want LTE+ just change your CSC to BMC and put in a bell Sim card as long as your phone is unlocked. Then u will get LTE+.

how did you get sm-g935t to work in verizon please help me i have my s7 edge unlocked from t-mobile and i am trying to used it on verizon
So I recently purchased s7 edge g935fd from Taiwan. The phone was working fine there in Taiwan. When I came back to the States, however, the phone seems to have trouble connecting TMobile's LTE mobile data. The LTE goes on and off , no matter where I am. The phone still says that it is connected to LTE even when the data is not loading. I tried to reset the APN setting but no avail. I also tried that sim card on my old ASUS Zenphone 2 and the LTE worked fine so it is probably not the sim card's fault. The weird thing is that I can still call, text, and even use 3g network, it's only LTE that is not working properly. Anyone got a solution to this?
Have you gone to settings>mobile networks and checked if it's set to auto connect?
I took off unlimited data from my account because **** sucks here In Aurora Colorado. Isn't worth an extra 20 a month when I got WiFi at home and at work. Plus 2gb free is cool with me. Still got bingeon
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I used to have a note from Verizon Unlocked, but seems they've done that on and off signal quite a lot. Since their phones from T-Mobile have everything pre-installed, you can't even delete or edit their APN.
That's why I got a phone with then GS7E works like a charm.

Oh well. Like I said even with that sht I can NEVER load a video on Netflix on my lte, I would miss flights before this crap loads.

I have a 935FD on TMO and never have had a problem. I actually have a 935T also, just made sure the APN's matched. The FD however, has never shown an LTE icon although it shows connected to LTE in settings. This could be to being rooted and running a custom rom. But to your main question, again, I've had no issues.

Yes, I bought an International version after realizing it would probably be some time before the 935T got root. From what I understand, and don't quote me on this, but the international version of just about anything is compatible with TMO or any other GSM network. The Note 7 should be just as compatible as my 935FD is with TMO.

No, and that is the only reason I've kept my TMO version is for the wifi calling. If the buildings where I work weren't blast proof we would have cell signal inside them. Since we don't, the wifi calling is our only Option, besides landlines of course. For all these reasons we're talking about is why I'm looking at getting an HTC 10. I'm getting tired of all the Samsung lock down on stuff.

I'm getting tired of all the Samsung lock down on stuff.
