So Verizon is letting me out of my contract due to their crappy service in my area and I'm moving over to T Mobile. The T Mobile rep seemed to think my GS3 could simply be unlocked and would work on with their service, however the Verizon rep made it sound like it wouldn't (not that I was expecting anything different).
So I thought I would just ask the people that have probably done it. Here are the questions:
1. Can I take my VZ GS3 and make it work on T Mobile.
2. Assuming question 1 is yes, do I have to unlock my phone (Verizon seemed to suggest it wasn't locked in the first place).
3. Assuming question 1 is yes, can I take the T Mobile stock rom for the GS3 and flash it onto my phone to get rid of the bloatware, or would I have to go with a custom rom?
I'm still thinking I might get the Nexus 4, but it would be nice to have a 4G phone to play with now and then (and I might end up liking the GS3 better than the Nexus 4.
Thanks for all the help.
