Q. I wanna know if I can buy a new S ll or S lll and have it activated with straight talk. I heard people were doing this but with other phones or they're current phones they had with other companies. I know Straight Talk has a program called B.Y.O.P (Bring your own Phone). I just wanna know if I can buy a new phone and have it flashed over to straight talk or if the S ll and S lll are even able to. If someone can help me with this I will be very thankful!
A. No you can NOT use them with straight talk. They can be unlocked for GSM sim cards only. that mean any thing that takes a sim, like simple mobile, T-Mobile, cricket, and many more.
I've work in a phone store and many people ask me the same question.
Although they used to give me their obama free service phone and ask me if they can use a different phone and still have the free mins, I told them that if they can afford a phone, they can afford paying as low as $16month for Unlimited talk/text.
What do I need to have done to a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 to use it on T-mobile?
Q. Do I just need to have it unlocked or something else too? I want it to be fully functional. Also, about how much would it cost to have whatever it needs done somewhere?
From what I read, it is only illegal to unlock phones that were purchased or acquired AFTER Jan something, and this phone wasn't. But now that I know they are on different frequencies altogether, that doesn't matter. Thanks
A. The Verizon version of the S3 has completely different cell phone "radios" than the T-Mobile one. Meaning it pulls down X-signal, while the T-Mobile one pulls down Y-signal. There are different frequencies for each carrier. If you had an AT&T model than yes you could unlock it and use it on T-Mobile. Now since the US government has made it illegal for the user to unlock THEIR phone, you now have to get permission from your provider to do so. If i were you I'd do some Google-ing around to find hat you're looking for. But my immediate first answer is no. Sorry man.
How do I change my IMEI number?
Q. BEFORE ANSWERING, READ.
I have an iPhone 5 that's locked to O2 and I have a factory unlocked Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.
For what I know, the IMEI determines it being locked or unlocked carrier-wise. I'd like to change my iPhone's IMEI for my Ace 2's IMEI, only to have it factory unlock. I'm going on holidays and I need a SIM from the country I'm going to but since my iPhone is locked I wouldn't be able to put one in, so I want to change the IMEI so that I can. After that, I'll be back to the original SIM card and carrier.
I am aware that changing an IMEI is illegal but what I'm planning on doing is swapping IMEI, both being my OWN private phones, aka private property.
No, I am not able to use my Samsung because it has been through it's due life experiences and is now quite broken. I can still read the IMEI luckily, not the rest of the screen though.
That all said, how can I change the IMEI on my iPhone 5?
Yes, Lara, you can. There are programs for it. What I'm asking for is HOW to do so.
A. Y O U C A N N O T , you can desire to walk on mars but that doesn't make it possible in any reality we really live in . In the real world we don't always get everything we want, like your iPhone want made by Apple, you cannot change that fact, you cannot decide that your phone was made by Samsung because it suits you.
that being said, the "iemi" is your unique id of that phone, the first digits identify the phone carrier, yes. Like a cars VIN, it is how a phone is tracked and controlled by the mobile phone carriers.
