Sprint GN for Verizon?

[Mazingdc5]

Does anyone know if Verizon can use Sprint GN? i know they are the same hardware but different bandwidth or something.
Does anyone know about it?

apparently the sprint one does not have a sim card for lte, so that may hinder that part. Not sure about 3g

wait. r u saying it IS competitible? i have an extra lte card for verizon.

4g lte = not compatable (sprint = no slim slot)
3g = not sure, but i believe the frequency band is different

Definitely won't work for LTE. Verizon's and Sprint's LTE networks run on different spectrum. And the devices only support one band for LTE. Verizon's only supports 700MHz and the Sprint's only supports 1900MHz.

For 3G, I suppose it may be compatible, but getting it to work on Verizon would be a huge pain in the ass.

I thought sprint was rollign out the 800MHz first then later the 1900MHz?

1900mhz first which is the crappier of the two. 800mhz later sometime. If they were rolling out 800mhz first there would be no reason to roll out 1900mhz. The lower the frequency the better.

Exactly. The 1900mhz is being rolled out first as a temporary fix to just get LTE out there. Which is probably why speeds are slow for some people on average. It doesn't have great penetration and I believe it has a smaller radius.

But to answer the OP, Sprint and Verizon share the same 3G frequencies, but not 4G. Curious though, why get the Sprint Nexus just to activate it on Verizon?

Someone is selling like new GN for sprint for 45 bucks. it's on hold. I don know if i should buy it or not. I guess i could sell it for cheap to sprint users?
What do youguys think?

$45 come on now.. Sounds unreal.

it is. but she's from local. moving back to her country in a week. That's what she said
I asked her if it was GN, and she said it was GN.
If it is, i get a fxxxing good deal.

Probally a Nexus 4g Ive seen a few people on craigslist advertise there as a GN

Please don't by this phone. It is not going to be a Sprint GN. They just shipped to people yesterday. If she actually paid for it she can return it for a full refund.

Use some common sense!

That's such a ing scam its not even funny LOL. I got a lot of those while trying to sell my Verizon GN on Craigslist. Don't even attempt it. But I'm sure its a typo of some sort. Defiantly BS
