Can I use an unlocked Verizon Galaxy S5 with AT&T

Well I have a friend that wants to sell me her Galaxy s5 but its on Verizon. She unlocked it already because she was overseas in Korea but got another phone. Would I be able to put a SIM card in it and use it with  my AT&T plan?

I purchased from Groupon an unlocked Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5. I am on Straighttalk so I purchased an AT&T Sim card. Here are the settings that I found that got my phone working. STRAIGHT_TALK APN: tf data MMSC: http:mms-tf.net MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com MMS port:80 APN type: default,mms,sup I am aware that all functions of this phone will not work with straighttalk but what I cannot get to work is my voicemail. When I push in and hold the 1, I get a recording that I cannot perform that action. When I put in *86 it actions says not performed. I wondered if this was an international phone because when your contacts pop up, you actions ore supposed to be able to swipe left to message or swipe right to call the contact. If I swipe right, it tells me I'm not set for international calling. I have dial assist turned off which helps with international calling. Kinda frustrating..

MMS is difficult and you won't get LTE

I does no work. You can not send receive MMS text and also the signal is very poor. You will not get good internet connection which it will drive you crazy. Dont do it. Get a g900a.

 

APN settings dont work, for MMS text. Tried all of them.

My current phone is an unlocked Verizon Samsung S5 and I have an AT&T Sim
card for straighttalk. I will post my APN settings but for the future for
anyone, if you have straighttalk and byop (bring your own phone) you must
Google it this way: APN settings for Straighttalk AT&T Sim card (or Verizon
Sim card). Do not include the type of phone because that does not matter
with byop and straighttalk. It is straighttalk AT&T or straighttalk
Verizon. I think T mobile and sprint use Verizon Sim cards but I'm not
certain. Ok, so here's my APN settings:
Name: STRAIGHT_TALK
APN: to data
MMSC: http:mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracphone.com
MMS Port: 80
APN Type: default,mms,supl (** no spaces in all fields between words, Esp
this field**)

I sure hope this helps! Good luck!!

I spent over two hours between the local at&t store and live chat with their technical team. No one could solve my problem. I went on youtube to the following link and it fixed my problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x1pYvw0Ekw

highly recommend you check it out!

Just take your sim from your at&t phone pop it in the s6. Works all the time iv been with at$t for years there better then the other carriers because there not so controlling like sprint lol this phone is permanently locked you have to bend ove backwards for them. And Verizon wireless yea there ok but still have to call corp store...  at At$t just get your imei and IP turn on your computer and work easy. But yours is done already even better. So yea old sim into new phone make sure u power off old phone before turning new one on.i got a US cellular because they have the best covage out of all the company's lol. At$t sim  on a us cellular phone with great coverage. Make sure and get your developer mode unblocked if u have a droid..
