When I bought my Galaxy Note, I had to change SIM cards. My question is, will I be able to use my new SIM card on my old Captivate? I'd try this out myself but I have my Captivate isn't in my possession right now but would like to know if I can use my new SIM with it.
Thanks!
I believe you can, but obviously LTE wont with. But I am not positive

I guess the only way to find out is to try it.
Thanks for the reply.
Take a look at this thread on the AT&T forums.
To get to a point to even try, you are going to need a micro Sim adapter

I just got a galaxy tab Sprint off ebay and it's still activated. 3g works. I don't think its stolen because i got the box complete with all the contents. my concern is i wont be able to activate this thing when it eventually turns off.
anyone have a similar experience?
You can still use it as a wifi only tab.

I know, I would eventually like to add it to my Sprint plan.
Then what is the problem ? Here in europe you can use any phone you want with the plan you subscribe.

that it may be linked to another account??
Why don't you just contact the guy that sold it to you?
Sorry but are you guys on drugs or something?
All you do is put another sim card in, Or am I mistaken and Sprint do not use sim cards or something?
It's a cdma version, so no sim card. But i think you can still use it with another plan. Try to contact sprint.

Apparently they now carry 4G SIM cards to allow access to their LTE network (see here). The details are a little sketchy, though, and I wouldn't bank on it working.
If you're really interested in doing this, I would suggest going directly to a Verizon store and speaking with someone there. Maybe even see if they'll let you test it out (probably not, but it can't hurt to ask).
The only other Verizon sim cards I found were international ones that allowed roaming on Vodafone's network. Since Verizon in the US uses CDMA for its non-4G network, SIM cards don't work. With a non-4G SIM card you would end up piggybacking on some other carrier's network.
That's my understanding, anyway.
Okay I have a droid incredible 2 it got damaged but it has a sim card its not 4g either so yeah

That's one of the international sim cards, which basically just lets it hop on GSM networks internationally when it doesn't have Verizon's US CDMA network.
So you mean its not possible

I can't say for certain. You would need to talk to someone at Verizon and ask them if their international GSM sim cards work here in the states.
My guess is that they'll tell you it will work, but since you would be essentially roaming all the time you're using it, it would be either costly or they wouldn't do it. Again, I'm not a Verizon employee, so I can't say that's 100% accurate, but that's my gut reaction.
Yeah ok makes sence my incredible 2 can only go into safe mode thats why I ask this

Have you tried putting the sim card on your captivate to see what happens?
Yes but verizon is so protective you have to have them activate it through the phones imei

Unfortunately verizon does not like you to be able to use at&t on there global phones so afaik there's no way to make it work.
Getting my droid 3 from ebay tomorrow. Do i need a sim if im just using it in u.s.?
It isn't the question but the way its asked.
That depends on what you intend to do with it. For most users, no.
No I have my global sim card out and it does not require a 4g sim either because... well because its not 4g.

That's not a stupid question. You need a sim card to use it in the US as well.

This is a Verizon phone and Verizon has never used sim cards because they are CDMA. The sim card slot is for GSM signals in other countries, since US based GSM providers like at&t and t-mobile are blocked on this.
Thanks for the replies. It came with one....but as I found out, its not needed for U.S. operation. BTW....loving the phone(even without root).
So i just upgraded my samsung captivate to a new Galaxy S2 on At&T. The sales rep told me that i had to switch my sim card so that i can recieve 4G radios on my new phone. Will this new sim card work in my old captivate? Even tho the Galaxy s2 only gets HSPA+ radios, does the change of sim card make it not usable in my old phone? Thanx for the help
You asked two questions so I can't just say yes. But yes to the 4g sim will work in both phones. This is because the galaxy s 2 has more than just a 4g band. So yes you can switch between each phone, but I personally would keep the galaxay s 2 hahah

I figured it probably would. Someone is thinking about trading a tablet for my phone and they needed to know. Cheers.
