How can I use a Verizon Note 4 on T-Mobile?

[AC Question]

trying to use Verizon note 4 on tmobile. PLEASE HELP!

I have a Verizon note 4 I'm trying to use on tmobile. when put in my tmobile sim I get a notification saying "this is not a Verizon sim." and I don't even have any bars on the top of the notification screen. usually you would at least have signal and be able to make calls/text and then use data once you enter the apn settings. but even after I do that, still nothing.
I even took the phone to verizon, CLEAN IMEI
PLEASE HELP!

Re: trying to use Verizon note 4 on tmobile. PLEASE HELP!

TMobile needs 1900 and 1700/2100 to connect to the network. The Verizon Note 4 uses 800/850/900/1800 and 1900 to connect to the network. You're missing one band.

And the phone is SIM-locked (that's the "not a Verizon SIM" thing). So, even if Verizon unlocks the phone (which they have to if it's paid for and there's no current outstanding balance on your account other than the current billing period), the phone probably won't connect to TMobile's network.
