Are you sure? I heard it differently.
My family possibly be going to Verizon, and I look around. Most if not all the info I seen so far said no.
If there is a way, I want to know. Since I have the SGS2.
Any unlocked phone can be used on any network so yeah you can use it on Verizon

Yes and no, because Verizon uses cdma and not gsm and your phone is gsm based you will only be able to use voice and 2G Data, 3G will not work with your phone.

Guys seriously? Verizon doesn't use SIM cards in order to use a phone on their network you have to use a Verizon branded phone! Sorry no unlocked phones! Sheesh feeding him wrong information could waste him a lot of money!

So what is the next option if you like samsung phones. Droid Charge or Galaxy S II (If it ever makes it to verizon).
If it makes u feel better its not a noob question imo jus cuz wen I bought my fascinate way back wen it came n the guy at verizon told me 4g would be backwards compatible n that I would have it wen it came out... Guess they were as informed about 4g at the time as they were bought the new froyo 2.2 w flash that was goin 2 be released at the end of that month lol.... Verizon reps suck

if i was to buy a glaxay s 2, and connect it to t-mobile's service, would it still be possible for me to get the 4G network? just curious
4g? Hell no.
3g? No.

That's something you should ask T-Mobile about. They have a website and everything

Um, what unbranded phone works with tmo-us 3g bands? You have to be able to receive the correct frequencies in order to get 3g, and tmo-us uses non-worldly 3g bands, unlike att.
So, while dumb, it's the reality of the situation.

Nokia n9 is coming with a pentaband radio, so it will work on Tmobile 3g.

I'm thinking of going to Straight Talk from AT&T. So you are using the AT&T sim you got from Straight Talk, right? Not AT&T? Does the phone have to be unlocked? It's my understanding it does not. Is everything exactly the same as on AT&T service? (That might be a dumb question.)
Damn I want straight talk now.

U buy a straight talk sim from the online store. The phone has to be be an att phone or a world phone like a galaxy nexus or international note. Everything is the exact same as att IMHO. Just no lte.

Me too T-Mobile speeds suck. But is expected. But I have 5GB UNLIMITED and am no where near the brink. I need my 4g speeds I only use my phablet for data and skype to make calls.
The Boss beating on mickey mouse displays.
Which would be the cheapest route? I just want data.
Here's a few from straight talk on att... Running great!

I was talking with my friend the other day he is an AT&T regional manager and he said that unlocking my photons gem radio and buying service with AT&T was a federal crime. I do not believe it is but can someone give me some better info on if it is or is not?

Lots of people unlock their radio for AT&T, no one is in jail yet.
I think he just wants me to buy an ATT phone
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
either he is woefully ignorant or he is lying to you. If he is lying to you, than he is not your friend.
Well he it was illegal because of ESN writing but unlocking the GSM radio does not write an ESN correct?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
1. unlocking GSM radio is not ESN writing
2. ESN cloning of another phone you own and have not activated is not illegal (i.e. you are not using 2 phones with the same ESN on a network)
3. ESN cloning of a phone you do not own for the intent of stealing signal is illegal.
Hmmm do GSM networks even use ESN's?

Im on t-mobile and this constant data drops and crappy signal in my house and everywhere u go is intolerable. I really don't wanna sign a contract but heard.good things about straight Talk. So i need advice or current user input on this matter. Or recommend me to something worth checking out. Thank you.

StaightTalk seems pretty good for at&t users who want to change carriers with minimum fuss. Your at&t note won't need any rom or modem flashing. But, you will have to unlock it and manually input the APN settings.

It runs on AT&T's HSPA network. So it's the same as that. You won't get LTE though. That currently only for AT&T.

Just order a sim card online...I'm currently on ST n its got fast data speeds n good coverage
If you have an AT&T phone and plan on using ST AT&T then you don't need to unlock your phone! I'm using the GNote on straight talk AT&T without it unlocked.
