Welcome to Android Central! We'd need to know the exact model number of that Note 4. Different variants might not be compatible.

I originally had a tmobile note 4 on metro and now have a At&t on metro. Both work fine.

I have same problem. Bought this
phone on eBay. Was convinced it was unlocked but Cricket Wireless says otherwise. My Note 4 # is: Smn910vzke or n910vvru1anj5. Right in the middle of emailing the seller they sent me "we're out of the office" email! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Welcome to Android Central! The VZKE means it was originally on Verizon. Assuming the phone was originally a postpaid device, it should be unlocked (unless it was reported missing or stolen, in which case the IMEI might be blacklisted). Enter the IMEI here and see if it shows up as valid: https://swappa.com/esn?ref=mobilenations&data1=UUacUvbUpU5129964

Thanks for the info. Did the IMEI check and it came back not blacklisted and a clean IMEI. So why does Cricket Wireless tell me my phone is locked.?

Try asking Verizon. Their phones are supposed to be unlocked, but maybe there's something specific about the one you have that requires them to unlock it.
