[q] is my verizon note 3 verizon or straight talk?? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HELLO,
I HAVE A GALAXY NOTE 3 VERIZON
ANDROID VERISON 4.3
TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT , I HAD MY NOTE 3 FLASHED TO STRAIGHT TALK,,,
USED TO FOR OVER A YEAR, I CHECKED MY IMEI NUMBER WITH STRAIGHT TALK AND IT NOW
CAN BE BROUGHT TO STRAIGHT TALK WITH A VERIZON SIM.
I TOOK MY PHONE BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS, BUT THE PHONE WOULD NOT ACTIVATE ON STRAIGHT TALK
SO I TRIED TO TAKE IT TO VERIZON AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT CAN BE ACTIVATED BECAUSE IT IS ASSIGNED
TO ANOTHER CARRIERS TOWER.
WHAT CAN I DO, I WANT TO USE THE PHONE ON STRAIGHT TALK WITH VERIZON SIM.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, HOW CAN I GET MY PHONE STRAIGHT.:fingers-crossed:

Try these settings, they should work. I have not tried it but heard if you have the lte sim they sell for CDMA phones it should work.

[Q] How to test Straight Talk service before porting my VZW number?

I am current Verizon subscriber and am thinking of switching to Straight Talk depending on how good the AT&T service is. I would like to get a Nexus 4. If I get a AT&T SIM for a Nexus 4, can I get a new phone number to test the service out? If it works well, I would then want to port my Verizon number over to Straight Talk. i don't want to just port my VZW over immediately in case I can't get service where I need it. Thanks!

Once the ST number is activated, they will not be able to port the number. They will need to send you a new sim. That's how I did it.

Ah! I was just going to order the phone, then I noticed that Straight Talk no longer offers AT&T SIM cards, only T Mobile! I will have to find one somewhere else. Any ideas where to find one?

I switched over to T-Mobile and got a new number when I did so. After about a week or so of good coverage I ported in my old number. No need to get a new sim card, just called customer service and I had my old number less than 24 hours later. Did the same thing with my wife's N4. So yes, you can do what you are trying to do, at least with T-Mobile anyway.

I did that a couple of months ago. ST had some refurbished flip phones free when you buy a card. We just spent $30 to buy a month then rode around testing signal strength. This doesn't help with data speed tests, but odds are, if you get a strong signal you should get decent data. Once you're happy you can order your sim for the N4 and port your number to it.
Option 2, jif you already have your N4 you could just order 2 sims. Activate 1 without porting, then if you're happy, chuck that sim & activate/port to the 2nd.

[Q] Sprint Galaxy S 4 L720 on Straight Talk

There is currently no GSM sim unlock for the SPH L720 for GSM carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, and straight talk. So how did you sim unlock it? Or do you have a different model of the S4 and not know it? Thanks because if we know how you sim unlocked it we could test the method then help you with your data issues. Also try adding a straight talk apn to see if that fixes the data issue.

I would personally stay away from Straight Talk. Had them for 6 months, worst service I've ever had. They really did suck... And they throttle you hardcore. Honestly they are the reason I switched to Sprint. Also Straight Talk is a GSM network. Not really sure if they support CDMA, I know it was in talks a few months ago.
Straight talk pulls of Verizon as well the iPhone 5 through them runs on Verizon. You can flash the hones over but it requires a imei switch on the device which is extremely illegal.

Is your Sprint L720 GSM unlock? as Straight Talk cannot support CDMA device?
From my understanding straight talk has deals with every major carrier. My mom had a st lg that was pretty much a boost phone.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Of course st has cdma thats the only the way the op could be using it.
They use sprint and vzw too. If you look at bottom of a phone box it will have a S for sprint and a V for Verizon.
Isn't it just great that the O.P with 1 post has stayed mum on folks asking how he got his Sprint S4 on Straighttalk (and which carrier specifically)?
Yes, Straighttalk resells from the 4 major carriers, AT&T/T-Mobile being GSM and Verizon/Sprint being CDMA.
I call B.S on this guy.

why call bs? he used a st donor phone and modified his imei just like everyone is doing for other prepaid options.
Verizon s4 straight talk
THIS IS THE REAL DEAL it's called cloning a phone....FACT: Verizon has faster 3g then Sprint... FACT: $45 prepaid is as cheap as you go... Still a Samsung Sprint phone so flash away! Paid $389 bad esn MINT for my S4 and flashed it for $75. Mine is still in the mail but the flasher has been answering all my questions.
It was BS when he said straight talk carriers all four major providers Straight Talk is GSM and only carries T-Mobile and they used to carry AT&T Sims FACT.
Yes you can do a MEID swap not a IMEI swap (both are very very illegal this phone can't be imei swamped only meid swapped) because the Sim lock on this phone is integrated in the modem, phone app, settings, and deep deep in the system and hidden menu. So this can't be done yet but I still have faith because I want to test HSPA+ on this phone.

Straight talk does use CDMA and gsm, the phones with a model ending with a G are GSM. The phones with a model number ending with a c are CDMA

I just gotten off the phone with a Straight Talk rep and she said that there sim cards wouldnt work in verizons phones.....and she also said that T-Mobile wouldnt work. I also went to ST web page and checked to see if my phone was compatable by looking at a list of devices on the b.y.o.b my SM-N900V wasnt on the list however it gave me the option of entering my MEID # and it said it was compatable. Just a little confused....does it work or not.

I don't have experience with ST but with band 4 enabled I was able to put a buddy's T mobile sim card in and get voice and LTE data after configuring T mobiles APN.

What's so funny? Am I missing something? As I understand it, all verizon note 3's are unlocked... here's what I'm basing this off of: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480320
wanted to know this too!!
before i left for vacation (here in the PHILIPPINES) i tried using a T-MOBILE simcard on my NOTE3. it worked perfectly OK. thought its unlocked for any GSM network.
when i got here (PHILIPPINES), immediately put in a local simcard and it says "NON-VERIZON SIM" and cant get any signal.
tried all three major phone networks simcards and they all dont work.
can anybody please let us know what is the workaround to this issue?
any help is greatly appreciated!!! c",)

Ah, fair enough. The intention wasn't to do this - the verizon note 3 is from ebay and came factory unlocked. I was planning to use it on verizon till I learned their $60/$70 prepaid plans don't support 4G devices
So, found straight talk, checked this phone's IMEI in their system and it said it'd work... but it's not. There's a lot of confusion out there.. people in this thread saying it "just works" on tmobile and at&t, some saying that it "just works" on straight talk (even mentioning that they're using the at&t compatible sim), but so far, no luck for me.
Here are the confusing points:
1) The verizon note 3 comes factory unlocked. If this is true, why do links like the one you just sent me even exist?
2) The straight talk bring your own device kit from walmart ($60, includes one month of $45 unlimited everything) comes with 5 separate activation options:
- AT&T-compatible full-sized sim
- AT&T-compatible micro sim
- Tmobile-compatible full-sized sim
- Tmobile-compatible micro sim
- CDMA scratch-off network access number
The AT&T ones say "4G LTE available", T-mobile ones say "4G HSPA+ Available", and the CDMA one doesn't mention anything about 3 or 4g, so naturally I thought I should try the AT&T one first. I activated this sim card on straight talk, ported my number, once that was complete I put it in the note 3 and booted up - and I have no service, "emergency calls only", and "non-verizon sim". Just to be certain the phone is unlocked, I tried a completely different, genuine t-mobile sim in the same phone and it worked fine.. it still says "non-verizon sim" but I have service and can make calls.
Really hoping someone can shed some light on what might be happening here.

Aha, thankfully my problem was a simple one - I called straight talk and had them check the status of the sim card I was trying to use (the micro at&t compatible one) - turns out, it still wasn't activated. SO - they activated it right then and there and everything started working immediately on the phone, too - started right up with the same 4G service my tmobile phone gets in our neighborhood.
SO - in case any one else stumbles upon this, YES, you can use a VERIZON galaxy note 3 with the straight talk AT&T-compatible sim card with the factory stock verizon ROM and no further unlocking. What a crazy world we live in
I have a Verizon note 3 running on T-Mobile. I bought a prepaid plan starter kit at Walmart. It came with the sim and the first month service for $42. Any T-Mobile sim will work. All I did was pull my Verizon sim out and replace it with the T-Mobile sim. Changed the apn settings and it works great! I had to root and other stuff to enable band 4, but you won't have to. The latest update enabled it.

What data do you get with T-Mobile ? Edge , LTE , hspa ? Where do you live if you dont mind me asking ? Have you tried installing tmobile Roms at this point ? Thanks !!
The vzw Note 3 on T-Mobile gets full 4G lte AND hspa+ 21 mbps (on areas reformed to 1900mhz pcs band, not on their original AWS band 4 1700/2100 mhz hspa+ 42 mbps).

I work several blocks from downtown Pittsburgh and I live 15 miles outside of Pittsburgh. Both places I get ~80dBm and 100dBm signal with 20mb - 35mb down, and 10 to 20 up. I'm only on hspa occasionally, but speeds are fast. Their edge network is painful. I'm not on it often in the area but when I am I get ~.15mb - .20mb downloads. I would try to find someone in your area that has T-mobile and see what kind of service they get before switching.
Noob needs direction
Ok. After spending many trips and waiting many hours for the guy at a local shop that flashes phones and sells prepaid services.....I have resorted to trying to do some reading and figure out how to do it myself or at least get some info so I don't waste any more money. I have a galaxy s4 on AT&T prepaid and pay 50 per month for unlimited with working hot spot. All good but wanted to get a Note 3. Is it possible to get a Note 3 to work like my s4??
Sorry if I posted in the wrong section. I just need to know which note 3 to buy and if it will work. I will keep reading and searching but wanted a little direction.
Thanks for any help
Sure CUZ... just remember Verizon is CMDA and AT&T is GSM they are both bootloader locked and will need safestrap work-a-round!
Good Luck

Straight Talk Verizon Note 3 activation
I have a VZW Note 3, after contacting Straight Talk's *(microchasm) support I am told by a human that the IMEI# of the phone is not compatable with their "bring your own phone" system. I have the micro sim card in the phone, I think I just need them to turn it on... Sorry if I am over simplifying things, at this point I am completely irate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The previous arrangement with VZW was a concession line that was canceled.

Straight talk CDMA issues

Ok have a few questions for you guys. I upgraded from a samsung s4 that I had on straight talks CDMA 4g LTE sim. It worked well but the s4 didn't get good signal. So I bought the verizon s5 and took the sim out of the s4 and I stalled it in the s5. So the data worked great, had great signal and talk function worked well. My problem was that I could receive texts but couldn't send them. I called straight talk and they told me I need a sim setup to my new phone. So I went to Walmart and got one. I called them and had it activated. Now the data works, talk works, BUT now I can send texts but can not receive them. Opposite of what it was doing with the other sim. I was on the phone with them for 1.5 hrs Saturday and another 2hrs Sunday and the can't seem to get it to work. My sister in law has a Verizon s5 with a straight talk CDMA sim. I tried hers but it doesn't work at all in my phone and mine doesn't work at all in hers.
I bought another sim kit but don't know if i need it or not.
Do you all think it's the sim or my phone that is the problem?
This is just crazy. I use this phone for work and I really need it to work. Any insite would be greatly appreciated

If you "really need it to work," then use it the way it's supposed to be used. Use it on Verizon. not Straight Talk. Just because you want something to work out doesn't mean it does. You bought an off-carrier phone and you expect it to work seamlessly? If ST can't help you, then good luck!
Look at access Point names under date
Well straight talk got me to put a new sim in it. So all works except I can't send texts now but I can receive them again. So this tells me that it's a straight talk issue. Wonder why out of the 5 friends and family that all have this same phone and straight talk service I'm the only one with issues

Check APN settings, see what your friends settings are. Try different texting app maybe hangouts?
Hangouts won't work either. I can not change the apn settings as it sees it as a Verizon sim

Will this phone work on Straight Talk?

Does anyone know if this phone will work with the Verizon/Straight Talk service? I am currently using a Note 3 and am looking to get a new phone.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
I know for fact that it will. A friend of mine activated his with Straight Talk a few weeks after launch. If you already have a compatible SIM, then it should be swap and go. Since he activated new service, there were some hiccups since it was a new to the network phone, but he hasn't had a single problem using Straight Talk on Verizon.
Yes it will
It will work on all three carriers. At&t, Verizon and T-mobile Straight Talk BYOP Sims.
Yep, I just transferred my phone number from a nexus 5 to my moto x by just getting a nano sim card and it transferred it in less than 5 minutes.
