  • did you get your galaxy s3 to work with gsm? my phone is galaxy s3 sch530c rooted

  • There is a setting in the phone to go to Global, CDMA, or GSM. Usually when you put in a GSM sim, it automatically switches to GSM. But sometimes, it auto switches back to Global when you reinsert the CDMA sim. We recently experienced no data service on CDMA until we found this switch.

  • We have the Verizon version of this phone and it will work on both CDMA and GSM. Eventhough purchased from Verizon and assumed locked to their CDMA network, it worked on GSM as though unlocked. We recently traveled to an Asian country that has only GSM and sells sims cards at 7-11 stores. All we had to do was pop in a sims card and we had voice, text and data on the local GSM network. The switch was automatic, but there is a option in the phone if you search to switch it manually.

  • The only prepaid reseller that I have found on the Verizon network (ie that will work at all with this phone) is Page Plus Cellular. I have used them and the PPC service is pretty awesome.

  • can a Verizon Samsung galaxy s 111 be switched to net 10

  • I have a Samsung galaxy s111 from Verizon that I bought from a friend but it doesn't have the sims card that goes with it. I was interested in using straight talk for service. when I called them to inquire about purchasing a sims card for it they said that they don't support lte . does anybody know how I can get this to work with either straight talk or net10. and if net 10 works in upstate ny.. anybody please.

  • always showing error software update is temporarily unavailable. try again later my model # is SCH i535 Verizon

  • To answer your question. Yes My Galaxy S III Model SPH-L710 (the Sprint LTE Version) has KitKat 4.4.2 from samsung. (upgraded it normally through the phone upgrade. this isn't a hacked build or anything.

  • Not updating to kitkat any clue ?

  • I currently own the I535 works on my local GSM network in Jamaica. Also getting data service. All this using the stock firmware (4.3 upgraded to 4.4.2)

  • no mobile data getting

  • Is it work for GSM?

  • Is it work for gsm?

  • Does it have one swip inaccessibility where it reads back to you

  • Does it have one swip inaccessibility

  • As i understood, Micro Sim meant to be "no sim". What was the cost of S3 with Sprint carrier?

  • I have the SPH-L710 Sprint version. It has NO SIM card so it can not be used on GSM. The above specs need to be modified to reflect there is no SIM on the Sprint version.

  • Can I use it in GSM network?

  • It has got 4.4.2

  • cdma don't use SIM card and gsm only use SIM card. Verizon is a cdma network but use SIM card for LTE data. so you can use it on any GSM network.the phone is already unlock if you are running 4.x.x android version.

  • cdma network is better than gsm

  • I don't exactly understand the difference in the CDMA and GSM, I know that it has to do with the frequency and such but do the CDMA phones not work very well in the US or do they work the same?

  • I have one and had it unlocked and have used it with a T-Mobile and a Simple Mobile sim card in it and use it daily with the Simple Mobile Sim and all works and was very easy to find a person to apply the codes to my phone. so they must work on both systems.

  • Incorrect. I have a S3 CDMA SCH-R530C that has a SIM slot. This is through Cricket. I am trying to find a way to unlock for AT&T. Lost....

  • You cant. As it says right there the phone is CDMA which is to say not GSM. In other words there is no sim card to replace. None. I own it and I can tell you there isn't even a slot for one where the slot usually goes so that's pretty much a dead end.

  • how can unlock this? to use any gsm sim

  • hi , hope all is well ,where i can buy it,

  • Can it be free'd? i wanna buy it.. thx

  • hello know if this team will have android 4.4.2 kitkat?

  • Is it true about 2GB Ram's? I heard it's only read as 1,32 or 1,33.. need answer pls

  • I rooted Mine and im now getting hspa+ ..im in Ghana

  • I have Verizon Galaxy S3 that has a SIM card. I've been using it on Straight Talk with the AT&T SIM (GSM). I've been having problems with the service, so much so that I have considered buying the Straight Talk version of the S3. But it seems ludicrous to pay $400 for the same phone. Someone told me that despite having the SIM card, this is a CDMA phone and should be activated as such. Does anyone know if this is true?

  • how did u update the phone..i also have the same unlocked phone but other than, rooting cant find any way to update the android version

  • ok eople I have samsung sch i535 from Verizon and is unlocket to use with sim card ouraund globe,it got updated to 4.3,and it works extra,love my phone,now you can used with any sim card :D

  • what about update?? when you will release 4.3 OTA??

  • Please let me know if Samsung Galaxy S III CDMA support 2G or not? I am using this cell but not able to connect 2G internet! I use Reliance CDMA connection.

  • I have a Verizon S3 that was flashed to Page Plus, I was wondering if it will work overseas local SIM

  • I have a Metro PCS white gs3 cdma phone. How can I use it on an AT&T Network or Straight talk, etc?

  • Are you sure it is gsm?

  • The Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III (CDMA) now does have GSM. The first models did not come with it and required unlocking through CDMA workshop and other modifications. They now come unlocked. I believe there was an OTA firmware update to unlock the previous S3's retroactively. Due to FCC regulations made this year, 2013, Verizon was forced to open it's devices to other networks. This was part of a conditional agreement regarding Verizon's purchase of the "C block" of frequencies from the FCC.

  • Correct this data please, it works on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS 2100 LTE 700 MHz

  • Samsung SGH-I535 is work on gsm.hsdpa.hspa+ worldwide need to apps to create an apn 1.apn manager pro 2.titanium backup pro you must root ur device! am useing in sri lanka ! on mobitel network !

  • it works on gsm ...bcz I have....

  • My sprint version, if I upgrade it, can it work with gsm

  • can the sprint version of this phone use gsm sim, if yes , how can I go about it

  • The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes in several flavors. Those branded with the Att logo will only do GSM, many, but not all Verizon branded versions will have CDMA as primary, but go to gsm mode if traveling in an area without CDMA (AKA 'global phone'). It is possible to unlock a verizon phone with a sim card and use it on Att, but not the other way around as verizon uses CDMA as primary. It is not easy in many cases navigating around trying to figure out what phone operates on what network without having that phone in your hands. there are web sites out there that will help, but they do offer bad info every so often (double check). *NOTE* not all verizon phones will have a sim card....only a select few noted as Global and a few others not obviously noted. A phone that needs a sim card to work is quite often a GSM phone. hope this helps....

  • YES

  • Because verizon uses the sim card to connect to LTE. Which is why you can get on the internet and talk on the phone at the same time. card handles the internet, phone handles the call.

  • sim for lte

  • hello everybody, im thinking of buying an sIII, what do u guys think?

  • my galaxy s3 from verizon is cdma ??? beacause it has microsim...... why,,, ?

  • Well, you bought something that will never work on GSM network. CMDA network phone, is the opposite aka the main competitor of GSM network. It contains chip, instead of the GSM's SIM card. Cannot be converted to GSM. Period. I'm sorry, but u have to put it on eBay or simply forget the money you paid for it.....

  • I had a couple issues and I backed up everything and did a hard reset. that fixed everything. even stuff I didn't know was wrong.

  • I have purchased a Galaxy S3 two months back. Since the day I bought, have been experienced many troubles, the repeated one issue is "Phone becomes stuck" while receive incoming call. Later on I have to go the option either restart or factory resetting. It is been three times I did restoring during this period and I do not know whether it will affect the efficiency of phone. Kindly suggest me some solution, is it the problem with hardware or software? Is Android 4.0 is not suitable for G S3?

  • No listing for music playback time or video playback time as you have for the 9300. I assume the international and usa versions have the same battery. So I assume that means since he USA versions has 2 cores less, you should get more talk time, playback time of music and video. Would be nice to compare though.

  • Try holding down the home button to view active apps. If that's what you mean

  • you can just use the home screen botton and hold it it opens the tabs and u can jump back and forth from apps

  • this phone CAN work on international GSM -

  • the correct model is sch-i535, not sgh.

  • How come you cant use multiples apps at the same time like the tab. A big disappointment.

  • To the one who bought this device from America Verzion to Jamaica, be sure that this type will work only in countries who operate CDMA Frequency. So if you are going to sell it on ebay, please let me know so that I might be interested in it. Waiting your reply.

  • Well, you bought something that will never work on GSM network. CMDA network phone, is the opposite aka the main competitor of GSM network. It contains chip, instead of the GSM's SIM card. Cannot be converted to GSM. Period. I'm sorry, but u have to put it on eBay or simply forget the money you paid for it.

  • hello i have one of this phone from the usa verizon and i cant get it unlock do you know if this phone will work on gsm network in jamaica?

  • Bad battery life. All samsung gallaxies are the same: a big disappointment

  • had the phone for about 2 months now love it everything work great only thing i recomend is that you download a task manager to save the battery life and also tango becauuse of the no video calling option, i watch movies and tv on this got great games and all the emulatoras for most consols its great for anyone i would highly recomend this device for anytype of user

  • huawei ascend p1 is better than ths

  • best phone of the world,better than iphone 4s.s3 is qr2500 and iphone 4s is 3000qr.s3 is very good phone big screen and thousands of apps.but if it is vry costly then samsung galaxy s2 is also very good phone better than iphone 4s.

  • very costly but still best

  • Phone is good but Mfg CDMA+GSM Phone both work in 3g, wifi ( not only CDMA or Not only Gsm work on 3G but Both can work on 3G ). people can buy that type of phone for any options With Fastest Processor Highest Amount of Ram Highest Amount of Internal Memory

  • Verizon Galaxy S3 (I535) only has dual core.

  • it is so very nice it is all things in side work is very good beautiful sape long life screen

  • i had this phone on cellular one and returned it. i had dropped calls standing next to others with the same cell service. this issue seems to be an inferior internal antenna. went to Motorola electrify2 and very happy. same location and no dropped calls. which means it was the phone not the carrier. google galaxy s3 antenna issues. good luck.

  • i want this!!!!!

  • I want this mobile

  • security online

  • hello

  • hello

  • hi sir i am from the island of tobago and i need to purchases a black berry or samsung galaxy phone from u so please send and tell me the price for any one of them

  • its look is very good ,,,i like it............

  • call help, no call gel!

  • samsung galaxy s3-designed for humans

  • you say go out the phone? s.a

  • the phone is of the hook

  • we broke sistem security of cat tecnologies

  • dont like it?

  • very lol :)

  • very true bro its pricey

  • i like that phone :)

  • Lock bootloader sucks

  • presenting the new samsung galaxy s3-designed for humans,but not affordable by most humans. :)

  • but why u keep dropping phones...not everyone can afford high budget phones like u do,so they can keep better care of it :)

  • I can't agree more with you it's cheap material bought one it fell once the phone cracked the inner parts ,but used iPhone for more 2years dropped it couple of time still no problems.

  • and the internation version only has 1gb of ram plus the quad core but the north american versions have dual core but with 2gb of ram

  • In five months I have had four Samsung phones fail. Two s2's and two notes. Nice looking stuff but Samsung obviously not quite there yet. Am going back to an iPhone as more useable and reliable than Samsung stuff....potential buyers beware...Samsung phones fail a lot.

  • no it doesnt it has a duel core. only the i9300 has quad

  • international version has quad core. US versions have dual core for LTE support

  • Hey guys the Samsung Galaxy SIII has a Quad Core CPU and not Dual core as you guys specified it, so please fix. :)

  • Can I use this phone in Indonesia

  • how many versions on s3 r there

  • Can this Samsung Galaxy S III I535,a CDMA phone be used CDMA 800MHz network area like India and Burma?

  • problem with communication on s3, have to hold very close to mouth otherwise people can't hear you.

  • Bought this version 3 yesterday afternoon and am returning it today to the store of purchase here in Toronto Canada. The phone is cheap feeling, the OS is laggy along with wi-fi issues. If you're thinking of grabbing this one or the upcoming iPhone 5, trust me, wait for the iPhone 5. The build on the S3 is just not there for a $765.00 smartphone, it litterally feels like a toy. I'm sure if you drop this phone, it's game over. I test alot of phones, (it's a wierd addiction I have) and I give every smartphone a go to see if it's worthy. This smartphone is definatley one you want to move on past. If you're spending over $700.00 on a smartphone, you should get something that feels like it's a luxury handset, not some cheap plastic wannabe with a so so OS.

  • My S3 is not charging anymore..crashing and display flicking...Did a hard reset deleting all my old data the same problem...brought it to the shop back!

  • They are just sucking our money because they are performing way too well with this little price compare with 4S. In Uk 67% ppl are using 4S including myself and everybody got the same complain. 4S is OK, but too much problem and high price as well. S3 is cheap and better quality. I know that, Cuz I'm using both of them.

  • Korea

  • Very good phone. Top quality. Highly recommended :)

  • qualcom 1ghz, .5mb ram got ics..but my 1ghz exynoz cant get ics..!!! i hav s3 now..adobe flash not nid on 4.1 bcoz html5 is the browser in near future.. is html5 cud be available in s3.? wat is lte optional..? if ur fon is not include in the "optional" ,wat will happen to ur fon..? ...its looks samsung is gud at blaming people..apple and nokia is praparing us for the future..not this samsung who giv us a little by little tweaks..!!!!they just sucking our money...

  • Dual core 1.5 snapdragon fast but not faster than exynos but still fast. Snapdragon can handle everything.

  • Damn. I was about 3 years with iphone, but damn today i got this is and its pure time mashine. Love it

  • wat is the price in canadian currency?

  • Poor americans,they have to get S3s with crappy snapdragons

  • a 1.5ghz dualcore krait is equal or to a 2.1ghz dual core exynos...and fyi, you don�t need too much extra cores for a phone, it�s useless...all you need is a faster processing frequency, so a dual core cpu is more than enough...well you can check the benchmarks, and you will see that the dual core krait beats the quadcore exynos4212 any day...for battery matters, krait processors are battery savers so the 2100maH charge capacity will be enough to last more than a day or two, unlike the exynos version that barely lasts a day for excessive usage....temperature problems were also minimized in krait processors....and for the gpu matters, adreno225 is just equal to mali-400mp...

  • yes, i do face the same problem with samsung s3, the day i am using, within 2 days i have send it for replacement and i received new one, and still it has problem, already given the complaint to their middle east call centre and and local dealer in UAE,

  • So for the newbies around here, i�ll just show you why this gs3 version beats the original version(i9300)...well, the truth is, this version of gs3 has no disadvantages against the gs3(i9300)... does tasks faster, battery lasts longer, cooler temps = better galaxy s3

  • The galaxy s3 has been out in australia for a while now

  • awwwwwsummmmm

  • That's funny because I'm rather sure this phone hasn't launched yet. You must be looking for the GSM version.

  • Plastic copy

  • Not a good phone it has problems in communications voice is not getting through clearly m using it from da day it has launched

  • baught yesterday superb phone i ever had in my life

  • It's only the fanboys. Customers of different carriers come here and vote down the Verizon version of the device, especially those who are limited to purchasing the I9300 version with only 1GB of RAM. It's not a big deal. On GSM Arena, rating means nothing. Their system is flawed. So, yes, minus being thinner, the Verizon design is near identical to the device with a rating of 8.1.

  • S3 can host USB flash drives and hard drives. PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers also compatible. Checkout AndroidNZ site for USB On-The-Go.

  • Isn't this the same design as the others? Then why it got a 7 while the others 8.1?

  • battery capacity is not big enough

  • Megapixels don't equate to quality of photo. Look at the sensor that it is using instead. iPhone 4s is known for having arguably the best camera for a smartphone, this camera is supposedly the same sensor as the one in the iPhone. I would guess the Sony ones are the same because they made the sensor for the S3 and the iPhone 4s. Not an iPhone guy. Just saying

  • Will this version hit Malaysia ???

  • lol your so funny.

  • iphone is much cooler

  • I wish it also comes to India.. Awesome phone bought a gsm SGS 3 .. BUT THIs has 2gb Ram waiting for cdma launch ....

  • Verizon is American, not British. The British version is the S III I9300.

  • Why did we get the fatter quadcore exynos and they are getting the slimer -as powerful as exynos- dual core snapdragon AND on top of that, the 2 GB of Ram? Also the USA are getting the snapdragon chip as well... I'm sorry that I live in Europe (-uk)....

  • 7.6 mm thick? seriously? why the t mo versionms thicker w t ff

  • dis model is only for uk....

  • Is this Made in Korea or Made in China???

  • your computer sucks then LOL

  • Are you sure this Verizon version supports HSDPA 2100mhz? cause acc to me that makes it a gsm handset as well :/

  • which one is better htc evo 4g lte or samsung galaxy s3

  • 2 Gb RAM??? MY pc have less !!!

  • i have a galaxy i5700 fairly new it is giving me problems so i don't mind fixing it and sell it then add a few thousand to get this. hopefully it will come out soon and god dammit 2gb of ram

  • ??????BATTERY????????? this is all i can ask

  • If All of the specs be true, then it's a great phone. how much will be price ?

  • 2GB Ram is wonderful but I think Battery life should be at least 3000+ for 4.8 Screen Motorola RAZR MAXX is 3500+ Battery life !! also Dual core could be Quad-core Finally why still 8MP Camera ? Sony Ericson is killing the market with wonderful Camera Please review before final release !

  • Slashgear says available July 5 2012. Whats the difference between this and the quad-core version

  • 2GB RAM??? Oh come on, don't act silly its just a rumore

  • Hey guys, whats wrong with you? A monkey calling the shots now? You finally give the much needed 2 GB RAM (MY note always takes at least 600mb of 800 available) and then plug in a Dual core processor. Adreno 225 is fine, but guys really what cocktails are you making. I think it's time someone comes up with something great and takes over the innovation. You did great with Spica,Galaxy s, Galaxy s2, but now you are just enjoying on your previous success and hard core marketting. Come on HTC/LG/SONY/APPLE/anyone!

  • Wen can i get it??

  • 2gb ram!!!!!!!! oh good.
