T-Mobile Galaxy S7 Edge on other networks

[Jason Rogers1]

Ok so I bought an s7 edge on tmobile and was wondering if it was possible to get it to work on Verizon. I put my Verizon sim in and have been able to get Lte working but no text or phone calls.. Any kind of help would be amazing. The phone us unlocked btw Thanks!

Welcome to Android Central! I don't think you'll get full function from a TMobile phone on a Verizon network. It will work fully on any GSM network (AT&T, TMobile, etc...), but not CDMA (Verizon, Sprint). You can take it to Verizon and see if they can get it to work, but I'm not sure that it will. Good luck!

Yeah I'm thinking that you are right. I guess I thought that the s7 worked worked on all networks like the Verizon model.

The Verizon model does to a certain point -- it is missing some key bands for AT&T / T-Mobile. Not everyone will need them but in some areas it could be useful.

So do you think that could be reverse for the T-Mobile version? I seem to get a decent lte connection but no text of phone.

The phone and text are over CDMA, the tmobile version doesn't support that. In order for Verizon to work, it could work on voLTE, but that would only work if Verizon offers that and if the phone has the right bands.
