I didn't have much of a problem. You will need the APN settings:

apn ="MetroPCS"

mcc="310"

mnc="260"

extraid="6D"

apn="fast.metropcs.com"

mmsc="http://metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc"

type="default,mms,supl"

Send yourself a picture message to test!

Helllp... I don't even know where to start! Note that I am a total novice.. though i can get my way around the device fairly well just not super technically knowlegeable.. so speak slow :)

I just bought a Refurbished Verizon "unlocked" & GSM Note 4 on Groupon.... Just got here.. super excited.... Won't recognize my Tmobile SIM Card.

Called Tmobile.. they say Verizon must have a lock on it.

Called Verizon... There are no locks... buuuuut it might be old enough that it wont register the Tmobile networks or whatever? Yet it won't even get that far.. And the IMEI is clean and clear. Not blocked in any way on their end.

Went to a Verizon store.. I asked them to put in an active microSIM to test that the phone works.. He used a display model SIM.. WOULDN"T READ A VERIZON microSIM.

So does that mean it has an issue and I should exchange? Or does that mean its still just blocked some how?

Grrr. I'm so frustrated. I was thrilled to get this phone at a good price.. I'm pissed this is causing such a headache but I'm also frustrated I don't know enough to figure it all out myself.

Any help would be awesome.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
I've heard that some of the sim slots had issues with the contacts and by placing a piece of tape, or small piece of cardboard, on the exterior of the metal slot so as to place some pressure on the sim when the cover is snapped on, that the phone would be able to read the sim.

If that doesn't work, try using an unactivated or activated sim and go into the apn settings to see if the phone is reading the sim at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrme12:
I just did a factory reset and cannot use my tmobile sim. Do i need a verizon sim again to get rid of this activation thing or there is an alternative? It is already rooted which I was using with the same tmobile sim before?thanks k you
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ODSTZ3RO:
I'm having the same issue ,but with the note 5 and I can't seem to even get the phone to gain signal . I've inputted an apn and it was just working with a at&t sim card also ,I changed the network mode to GSM. Oh and forgive me for stating the name of a device not being discussed in this thread .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrme12:
I just did a factory reset on Verizon 5.1.1. and cannot use my tmobile sim.

Has anyone tried this T-Mobile rom thing ? Ive been trying to find a thread ... if so should'nt this be a sticky?

Im already bootloader unlocked and rooted on stock 5.1.1
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Papa Midnight:
Same question here. Flashing a ROM meant for a different phone seems dangerous. Can someone attest to whether this has worked or not?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
I had to load CM13 in order to use ATT, VZW and TMO SIMs.

TMO works pretty well on this Verizon Note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cmdba:
I did actually try it but i only did a factory reset instead of wiping.. the phone would'nt boot but it retained recovery so i just went back to BPA1 stock via Odin and upgraded to MM paulpizz rom after doing the MM safe method.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Zacharee1:
You need a specific SIM card for each network. APNs only work to change the way you connect to a network, not which network you connect to.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Zacharee1:
I just switched three phones over to TMO. Two are the 910V and the other is the iPhone 5. The TMO coverage maps reported good LTE coverage here, but we're only getting EDGE. Is there something special I'm missing, or was this customer verified coverage a lie?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Drcharles24:
did you use a stock rom? is it possible to switch to tmobile on a stock rom? can i just unlock it and change the network settings?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] baudac:
Nice! I was on 6.0.1 but I had to downgrade to 5.1.1 to get unlock and root. Just wanted some clarity. Were you coming from a rooted/unlocked 5.1.1? Which rom did you use to upgrade to marshmallow bootloader before you installed the T-mobile rom?

Is band 12 working properly?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Zacharee1:
The 910V doesn't support band 12. Found this out the hard way.

Verizon uses bands 2, 4 and 13 (and 66 now), while T-Mobile uses 2, 4 and 12. The 910V only supports the Verizon bands and some other ones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] zounduser:
I'm having issues guys. I've successfully unlocked the bootloader on 5.1.1, I then flashed the hybrid firmware, and unlocked the bootloader again. Flashed TWRP, and then booted to recovery, made a backup, and tried flashing the S7 port, it flashed fine, but upon booting it up, I get stuck!!! It boots up, says android is upgrading, does that fine, then says starting apps.......then constant reboots. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I then tried restoring my backup, went ok, but kept rebooting at the verizon red screen. I'm baffled at this point. It seems like I'm missing something? Can someone please help. Thank u

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] buhohitr:
How did you do it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Zacharee1:
Probably one of the Xposed modules that hides tethering.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ii904:
you need unlimited data plan;

change or add APN protocol from Ipv6 to Ipv4(from network setting);

use wifi tether router or foxfi ;

use vpn to hide your tethering.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Michaelzeng:
with only entering the name as t-mobile and APN as fast.t-mobile.com, my phone works fine on 4g, and it makes no difference from choosing global of GSM. the only problem my phone has is the call quality. sometimes i just could not hear what the other person is saying, and when people call me, it sometimes goes directly to my voice mail. sometimes Data also drops during phone call. is there a way to fix this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
What ROM and base-band are you running?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Michaelzeng:
I am not sure. and I have to google about it. Or can you tell me where i can find them in my phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Michaelzeng:
android 6.0.1, and N910VVRS2CQB2. IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Are you running stock Verizon ROM?

If so, you would be better off running a Custom ROM.

IE: CM13, Grace ROM, EmotionRevolution, Jasmine, PaulPizz, Note4UXedge, etc...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Michaelzeng:
i dont know what is a stock verison ROM, mine is SM-N910V from verison. How do i check whether it is stock or not? i googled it, and could not find the answer. If it is indeed a stock verison rom, how do i get the custom ROM?

Tmobile is a gsm carrier bro, verizon phones are cdma . you will not be able to use any bandwidth other than lte . Verizon phones are not sim locked so its totally possible but tmobile and att would be the worst service providers you could choose .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Zacharee1:
Verizon phones have full support for US GSM and HSPA bands.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tengtengvn:
How many Verizon phone have you used? I've used like 20 phones. The Verizon phones have LTE band 4 which works perfectly in the markets where tmobile has band 4.

Next time do some research. If you don't have experience, don't make assumption.

I manage the phone accounts for a company that use both networks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mojoswagger1980:
Umm note 2, 3,4 and my s7. I also work for Verizon. 4glte is all that works .Verizon phones dont use the sim card except to connect to 4glte (the lower bandwidths are not acessed via sim . TMobile and ATT do. In the united states they are the only 2 carriers that support gsm . Adversly cdma phones all of which are manufactured by qualcomm, were banned internationally after a european court ruled qualcom controlled a monopoly , are only found in the us and canada . in summary learn to read dude before u go busting in with your 2 cents .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tengtengvn:
Then you need better training buddy. Except for the early 4G LTE phones, after the Moto M generation, the rest of the Vzw 4G LTE phones work fine on US domestic and oversea GSM networks. They don't have APN pre-configured but once the APN is set up correct. They works fine on GSM networks for voice\data\txt.

Note 2, 3, 4 and S7 works perfectly fine on t-mobile. They lacks band 12 and AWS bands but in major cities where band 4 LTE and 1900Mhz HSPA+ are being used, they works without issue.

In the S7 and S8's case, all phones in the US have the same hardware. The S7/S8 can be flashed to the unlock\t-mobile\att\sprint version.

Let me ask you again, have you put in a t-mobile SIM card and set the APN correctly for it to work? If you haven't tried, then don't debate since you have no prior experience on this matter.

Hello, were you successful in the switch over? I am planning on the same process, to switch to AT&T on a VZ Note 4 that is 5 yrs old.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] FlipPhone:
I switched my SM-N910V over to Ting/T-Mobile last year. I had to change the preferred network type to "Global" but it just worked using the stock ROM. A couple weeks ago I finally dropped Lineage 16.0 on it and I've been even happier with that. Roaming seems to be more reliable when I use the phone diagnostics to set the preferred network to LTE/UMTS, but it does eventually go back to LTE/CDMA/UMTS for no apparent reason.

The only thing it's missing is VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling. Ting says LTE band 12 is required for VoLTE, so that might be a non-starter. But it would be nice to have Wi-Fi Calling. IMS Status reports "Not Registered" and there don't seem to be any way around it.

P.S. I've tried some of the stock-based T-Mobile ROMs in this forum, and all exhibited the same problem. VoLTE works (yeah) but no WiFi at all and rear-camera is unusable (blurry and crashes).

dumb question...

So, if I'm catching this right. You are taking a verizon Note 4 and running it on the t-mobile network, cool.

will it work the other way around? Meaning, can I purchase a t-mobile Note 4 and use it on verizon networks?

here's the thinking - I buy a t-mobile Note 4, it is bootloader unlocked, right? then, that being said, root it, and start to do the reverse, set it up for use on the verizon network?

if it's true, then in upcoming versions i.e. Note 5 or S6, I could feasibly do the rich man's / poor man's developer edition, but a t-mobile unit - provided it is bootloader unlocked, root it, and convert to verizon... and there ya go, right?

any thoughts?

You can get the Verizon Note 4 Developer Edition, that's bootloader unlocked. I have it now and it's unrooted. You can only buy it directly from Samsung. The link is below. Make sure the model # is SM-5910VMKEVZW. Not SM-N910VZKEVZW, the VZ retailer version that you can't rooted. You'll have to pay up full for the developer edition since it's not available at VZ store for 2-year contract or the Edge program.
