It a new year and i officially join the samsung family with samsung captivate.
This might be a noob question, but I'm with Tmobile and I purchased a AT&T Samsung Captivate, can my Tmobile Sim card work on my new phone?
Simply searching will find your answer
"Unlocked Captivate TMobile"
Also, questions should be posted in Q&A, not general.
Thanks for the reply and sorry at posting at wrong section.
Btw you should know you wont be able to use 3g on Tmobile's network.
Yep, Livin' on the "Edge".

Hi folks. I'm visiting from the CDMA Hero section. My friend has G1 he doesn't need and I want to buy it off him it it can be unlocked and used in Europe (Barcelona and Paris) with something like a prepaid SIM card. As I mentioned, I'm visiting from the CDMA forum-- I've never had a GSM phone and don't know a thing about unlocking.
I've searched the stickied threads and general forum but nothing stood out. This possible? Worth it? I'm no stranger to custom roms or Android.
Please advise. Thanks.
It's possible and very easy, somebody just needs to call T-mobile and request an unlock code. Usually they send it within a week. Please note that you will not get 3G in Europe (99% sure) as they use different frequencies. You will still get the edge network.
It's up to you to decide if it's worth it.
BTW, canadian Dream should do just fine in Europe with 3G (once more, 99% sure)
Good luck.
thanks. that was painless.

Hi guys im new here.
I just wanted ask something, i bought a galaxy note 3 here in the Philippines with model number n900a, I understand it is from at&T, it is now factory unlocked, when i tried to wifi tether it always says "invalid sim, mobile data not available." Im using a globe network here and confirmed that LTE is working, searched for some fix here but it only leads me to at&t note 3 using a t-mobile sim.
I already rooted my phone which is still running under 4.3 via kingoroot, here are my phone details.Baseband version N900AUCUBNB4,build numbver JSS15J. I would appreciate any help and any guides what to do to be able to use this phone for wifi tethering. sorry for being noob here. Thanks.
Try using the forum search for "Wi-Fi tether". Google even works! It's faster to find your answer this way instead of posting a redundant question and waiting for an answer. The forum gets cluttered and messy the way you did it.
You'll probably find that freezing the system app "TetheringProvision" works.
Since your new please read the forum rules again.

Thanks for the link. Towel rooted and wifi tethered in 30 minutes. AT&T Note 3 on T Mobile network.
Sorry if this has been answered in other posts but I have not been able to find anything specific to the ACTIVE. I have recently been given an S4 Active sgh-i537 from a friend. This S4 is on ATT and I am on Verizon. Is there a way to move it over. I have searched unlocking it and that seems to involve sending my imei number and $39.99 to some place over seas to get an "unlock code" but I don't trust that. The S4 is currently on 4.2.2. Not sure if I root it and install a new rom if that will allow me to move it over to verizon or not. Can someone out there please let me know if this is possible with this phone.

The S4 Active is a GSM phone and will not work on CDMA networks. Only Verizon branded phones or phones that specifically say they work on the Verizon network will work. Verizon and Sprint are the only 2 CDMA networks in the world and require special phones.
thanks
Thats what I was looking for.. Thanks
Currently I have Virgin Mobile, and I've been stuck with the S3 for about 2 years. I want something new and better like the S6 and I can get the T-Mobile variant S6 for cheaper than the MetroPCS, but the question I have is... Can the T-Mobile phone be ported to Metro easily if I switch my carrier to Metro?

Pretty sure the firmware is interchangeable between tmobile and metropcs s6. Tmobile people have been flashing metro pcs firmware to use unlock codes. Do some forum searching just to verify.

I did some poking around the forums already, but being trapped in my Sprint/Virgin Mobile bubble for so long I have not the slightest clue how other carriers work. I couldnt find an answer really so thats why I'm posting directly.

I Have an Att Galaxy s4 !337 with a loki exploit. I am looking to upgrade and tmobile works good in my area. Do they lock their bootloaders?. Sorry if this question has bee asked before, I just couldn't find a direct answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. FYI, Do not call tmobile. They all act like they have never heard a bootloader before.
No the bootloader isn't locked on the tmobile note 4.
Here's a thread about people using it on att:
