Would there be anyway to get the Tilt to operate on Verizon? Because as far as I know, Verizon doesn't use SIM cards and AT&T does. So that might be a hurdle, but is there any other way around it?
Thanks

Sorry no way, Tilt is GSM bands and Verizon is CDMA bands.

Is there a way to put my current phone service on a Verizon DROID 4? My phone has no SIM chip, the DROID does. Is there a way to do this? Please someone point me in the right direction, my current phone is so beat and I'd love to learn this but haven't heard anyone talk about this. WHy do some phones have SIM chips and others don't?

The SIM is there for LTE&GSM service, the Droid4 is an LTE&GSM enabled phone.
Verizon's network isn't GSM though, it is a CDMA phone, so they use the SIM slot for LTE only. You will need to update some CDMA settings, your best bet is to take your phone into a Verizon shop and have them set it up for you!

Not true. The CDMA settings are in the SIM cards too for 4G phones on Verizon. I switch my SIM card between different 4G phones I have and it knows who I am when making calls, texting, 3G and 4G.
But you right, you have to go to Verizon so they can provision a SIM card for your account. Its free and pretty simple to do. After that, no more ESN/MEID swaps!

but Im trying to put my boost

I talked my wife into switching to Tmobile and gave her my S4 from ATT. Her service is not so good and I'm tired of hearing about it. I've tried different modems from ATT but no real improvement. Anyone have any experience on the subject? Aside from wifi calling, would a phone from Tmobile have the same service?

No, they use different bands. You can use a T-Mobile phone on AT&T just fine but an AT&T phone on T-Mobile will not get you the correct speed connections due to the limited bands AT&T uses. That is why I decided to go with the T-Mobile variant rather then any of the others.
I see. Its a tough one. Att is getting so locked down but tmobiles service is sketchy where I am. I would hate to pay for a new phone when the S4 is running great still. Damn. Thanks for the input.

You could sell the phone and purchase a T-Mobile variant of the same phone to run on AT&T or upgrade to a newer T-Mobile phone. The T-Mobile bands work great on AT&T network, just not the other way around. That's what I have done. I have tried the AT&T and the Verizon phones and they both work good on AT&T but if you want all around compatible phone, then T-Mobile phones are the way to go. Just get the unlock code and throw in any sim you want and set up the APN.
Can i use straight talk on this phone? I am assuming I would need to use the Verizon SIM card (CDMA LTE) kit? I only ask because Straight Talk's website claims the phone is incompatible based on the IMEI #. I have the XT1254.

You could also use it on "AT&T" and "T-Mobile" Straight Talk. You would only get LTE bands 2 & 4 for both those carriers, but would also have access to HSPA bands.
The Droid Turbo is carrier unlocked. Many people use it on T-Mobile and AT&T.

Thanks for the reply that is how I understood it. I was just confused as to why Straight Talk was telling me it was incompatible. Perhapse they "know" I still owe Verizon one more payment on it.
Another question: I know you use ATT; do you know of a map that shows what bands ATT uses where for LTE?

I know LTE Discovery app captures location LTE bands, but I don't know if they have a public map the way Open Signal does.
Open Signal shows LTE availability for various carriers, but I don't they differentiate by which band.

Yes, you probably don't have a "clean" IMEI right now.
Once your contract is fulfilled, it will probably show OK.
I'm trying to use my rooted note 3 (with dynamic kat xtreme rom) on the sprint network. I have tried different combinations of apn settings and still can't get it to work. Anyone have any idea if it's even possible?
Sprint uses CDMA which the att note 3 doesn't support.
Apn settings are for data and MMS only rather than voice.

So I wouldn't be able to use it for voice either?
Voice won't work either because the phone has no ESN which is needed to register the phone on a CDMA network.

Thanks for the replies. You know if it's possible to use an at&t s7 edge with sprint? Or is it the same thing as the note 3?
AT&T and T-mobile phones will not work on CDMA carriers.

So I'm stuck with my sprint carrier phone (iphone). So I'd have to use a sprint phone? What if I buy an unlocked phone from Amazon?
Sprint and Verizon need a phone that supports CDMA as neither carrier has a GSM network.
Some Sprint and Verizon iPhones supports GSM which means they can be used with any North American carrier for voice, data, and text.
Buying an unlocked phone will not help unless it comes from Sprint.

Thanks for the quick replies. I was given the impression after calling and asking sprint that I could use the s7....... well it's ok either way. Thanks again
Where did the s7 come from?

I got it from at&t
Unfortunately, you need the cdma version.
I've seen that people on here have been flashing the Verizon variant with the AT&T via odin. I was thinking of buying a Verizon Variant and flashing it with AT&Tas well. But I would like to get some opinions first and see if anyone has had any trouble.
I haven't flashed AT&T on it but using on AT&T and it works just fine....
I'm not using it on AT&T, but haven't had a single issue on my network.
From what I understand, you may be fine on LTE, but you will not be able to use the 5G from AT&T on the Verizon phone.

S10 5G from Verizon without flashing on AT&T?
How? I put in my ATT Sim card, get signal but when I open Google chrome it turns into no signal or as if I didn't have a Sim in it. Frustrating.
Did you had it activated to Verizon at the beginning? I heard for it to work elsewhere it'd need to be activated with Verizon for 60 days, then I can be used anywhere. Not entirely sure. Can you confirm?
