Possible to sim unlock Sprint Note 4 to work on T-mobile

[PRS247]

not true i am using my sprint note 4 on metro pcs now

can you please, please! Tell me how to do this?

I'd like to be able to use a sprint note 4 on metro pcs!

So far, almost all have said it won't work.

I'm planning to switch from sprint to tmobile in May.
Anyone know if it is possible to unlock Sprint Note 4 to work on T-mobile?

were you able to use your Sprint Note 4 on Metro PCS?

I wouldn't try it on TMobile. When I had my Verizon Note 4, I tried on TMobile and got only 2mbs speeds, which was pathetic. I didn't even leave the store once i activated it and saw that, I turned around and cancelled my account. It will not get very fast speeds at all. So I would try a CDMA carrier that works with Verizon or Sprint. I traded my Verizon N4 in for an ATT Note 4, just because I couldn't even get it work with everything on ATT.

My older Note 2 worked great on ATT and it was a Verizon N2. So I don't know what the problem was with the Note 4 other than not being GSM.

How and where were you able to trade your Verizon Note 4 for an AT&T Note 4?

I went to a metropcs store and asked if i can flash my sprint note4 to metro and still get 4g and they said yes

were you able to use your Sprint Note 4 on Metro PCS?

I want to switch to Metro PCS. I just need to know if it's possible. I already went to a Metro PCS store in December, but had no luck. The staff there did not know enough to help.

But yesterday, I called and spoke to a Metro PCS employee from the Wireless Portability Dept. and was told that my phone (and all Sprint phones) are able to be used on Metro PCS. They just have to be configured to do so.

Unlock it to take a TMobile SIM? Any phone can be SIM-unlocked, all you need is the unlock code. Will it work on TMobile? For voice, text and 2G data. The radios are different in the Sprint and TMobile versions.

I can tell you for sure that taking a phone from Verison to ATT will technically work but you are stuck with HSPA+. Probably similar fro your situation.

Try Verizon prepaid

As previously stated, you can use it on a differnet network but you lose 4G and LTE and some other things so yes, it will "activate"

Sorry, should have been clearer. I traded it in to best buy to get some credit towards buying an AT&T Note 4. It wasn't an equal trade, I took a loss on it. I didn't want to pay what ATT wanted for their Note 4, so $200 off was better than nothing.

I am on Metro Pcs with is now merged with T-Mobile. They can't and won't do Sprint phones. They do unlocked att and Verizon but not sprint. I'd ask tmobile

Sent from my beautiful white NOTE 4!!

Not true..im currently using an original sprint note 4 with Metro PCS/T mobile

 

[droclov]

I have my note 4 from sprint rooted and sim unlocked I only get 4G no LTE and everything still works data, talk, and text, mms as well. I downloaded other apps to permanently delete the old sprint apps that wouldn't allow me to delete like the sprint visual voicemail and the sprint. No need to take up my space I'm running off of T mobile I have Metro PCS. Google MN Mobile Guy he's the man!

 

[droclov]

If you still have your Sprint phone and you want Metro PCs service 4G minus LTE which is still blazing fast on the TMobile network google MN Mobile Guy he's the man!

 

[supreme83]

Not true. Unlocked Sprint phone with get HSPA+ and possibly 4g IF you enable all bands.I pull around 5- 10 mbps.
I unlock these phones all the time for GSM. ANy of the newer sprint phones work on GSM. Just check which bands they support and enable them

 

[Dj Lil Mac]

I was informed by Sprint that the phone's SIM can't be domestically unlocked. It only supports international SIM unlock for travel abroad on the Sprint Model. I had them unlock my Note4 for international usage only.

Unless you can explain "how so," I will have to say that this is NOT TRUE.

I have to agree with KJThomas. What he posted, still seems to be true.

I've tried every route or option I could think of, Sprint, Metro, both their CS, and to date nothing's helped.

You have to buy a new phone. Many people offer deals with a trade in, they don't care who the carrier of the phone is, as long as it works.

I have bought smart phones that were prepaid and cheap to trade in for deals.
