Since the S5 just came out, not a lot of information out on the internet so i figured ill ask s4 users.
So i just received a verizon S5, i am on ATT. The reason why i have a verizon device is because it was given to me for free, i didn't have a choice. After attempts to sell or trade for an ATT variant failed, i figured lets just try to get it to work on ATT and it now works with my att sim. This is ATT sim, not straight talk.
So after searching for ATT APNs, i was able to get voice, messaging and hspa+ data to work. i Understand no LTE, but i am ok with just hspa+, probably better battery life?
Some issues remain:
1 cant send or receive MMS
2 no tethering
3 not sure how to access my voice mail.
I've never really used an android device, i used an s3 for like a month or so. I have minimum experience with galaxy as i am an iphone/wnidows phone user.
In any case, i tried looking for MMS apns to set up and none have worked, i can't seem to get pictures sent through text nor can receive one to another user. I've double checked the APN settings to match up and still doesnt work. So i am looking for somebody that may be in the same scenario as me with an S4 and see if they can help me get MMS to work. Perhaps screen shotting the APN settings?
Also, is it possible to get tethering to work using a verizon device on ATT network? the phone probably looking for verizon information, but wondering if there was some type of trick to get tethering to work with ATT data plan. My plan does have tethering.
Also how to acces voicemail, when i try to call voicemail, just calls my number, but doesn't go through.
Any help is appreciated.
