t-mobile s5 move to verizon?

[Angela B2]

am I able to take my t-mobile s5 and move it to verizon if i have the unlock code from t-mobile?

You wouldn't be able to. Verizon requires all phones to be "approved" for their network. Since you bought the T-Mobile version the chances of that IMEI being in the Verizon data base for approved devices is slim.

do you know what networks are compatible with t-mobile? tired of crappy service but my phone is only 6 months old..... don't want to buy another one.....

Your TMobile S5 is a GSM phone and Verizon uses CDMA phones. You would not be able to get LTE and maybe not even 3g even if unlocked. You can bring a Verizon phone to TMobile since they are GSM unlocked but not sure if it works the other way.

If your phone is unlocked you could always use a Straight Talk AT&T sim card. $45/month. Have been using ST for all my unlocked phones for 3 years. I use the AT&T sim because I don't get good coverage from their TMobile sim.
