VZW S5 SM-G900V to use on T-Mobile
Hi All, I have a VZW Samsung S5 phone and I am trying to use T-Mobile sim on it. I am able to make/receive phone calls and text but data does not works. I called t-mobile customer support and...
On my wife's VZW S5, I had to leave the APN protocol on IPv4 and set the Bearer to LTE to get a data connection. You may need to remove the spaces in the APN type as well.
Nearly three years later and your post is still providing just the help needed. I had struggled with this for days and even tried a new sim card at the T-Mobile store. The store said when he looked up the ESN he "discovered" that the frequencies were incompatible with some changes being made for 5G rollout. I knew there must be a fix, and you provided it. Changing Bearer to LTE is what provided the magic, although I thought it was another dead end at first because the 4G indicator still didn't light up. When I rebooted the phone (powered off and back on again) for a different reason voila, the 4G indicator lit up like a Christmas tree.
Thanks!
