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.
Will an unlocked International Samsung GALAXY Y work with T-Mobile's network?
Q. Will a quad-band 3G GSM GALAXY Y work with T-Mobile?
A. There is a 100% that it should work. If your phone is unlocked it would work on any carrier you choose to pick. But if it is locked it will only be allowed to use the network it is locked on to.
