Can I put my card on a t-mobile galaxy s3?

Here's the thing. I have unlimited data plan and if I renew my contract I will lose it. so a friend of mine offers me a samsung galaxy s3 that is unlucked and I want to confirm it would work with just removing my card from my thunderbolt and put it on the galaxy s3. Is it possible?
any advice will be very appreciated it.

Activation of a phone only requires a SIM card in the phone which you want to activate.  You wouldn't need to swap SIM cards in this case.  The only time you might want to swap SIM cards would be if you had 2 active phones under the same contract and you wanted to swap phones without doing anything other than powering off the phone.
In the case of activating an unused phone, the unused phone would be activated using it's own SIM or a new SIM if the phone doesn't have a SIM - everything is done through the network's software.  You can go to the VZ Store to have this done, or you can activate a phone yourself by following the instructions in the VZ Site which you can find under My Verizon, Active or Switch Device.

    Hello!! How can i put sim card?

    If you have a cellular iPad with a sim-card slot then you should have a sim removal tool with the iPad (or you might be able to use a been paperclip) and be able to extract the sim card slot on the left-hand side of the iPad

    The CDMA iPhone 4 does not use a SIM at all. There is no SIM slot. It is a pure CDMA phone.

  • How can I format an SD card on my mac?  I have tried the erase thing but when I put the card into my 35mm camera it says that the card has to be formatted.

    I just purchased two new SanDisk 8gb SD cards for my trail cameras.  When I put the cards into the trail cameras, the cameras will take pictures but it won't store them on the cards.  When I put the cards into my 35mm camera the camera tells me that the cards need to be formatted.  I have went through the steps in the disk utilities and erased the cards, which I assume is the same as formatting them??  I have tried this for hours and have had no luck getting these things to work at all.  It was awful disgusting when I checked my two trail cameras the first time and found out that they had taken close to 75 pictures but the cards were empty.  When I bought my 35mm camera several years ago, I bought a couple of Kodak SD cards and used them right out of the package and never had to do any of this formatting thing.  I don't understand what is going on and could sure use some help with this.  Thanks for any information anyone can give me with this problem.  I would love to have seen what animals set my cameras off 75 times in the last few days.  Thanks again.

    AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards.  You should use that.  Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly.  Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
    Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan.  I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole.

  • In the iPod touch 5th generation can I put a wifi card in it ? Like wifi Vodafone card like in the iPad 3G, In the iPod touch 5th generation can I put a wifi card in it ? Like wifi Vodafone card like in the iPad 3G

    In the iPod touch 5th generation can I put a wifi card like Vodafone wifi cards I put a wifi card in my iPad 3G and it works what about ipod ?

    Wi-fi card?
    The ipod has wi-fi bult in.
    Why would you need a wi-fi card?
    It sounds like you are  talking about a SIM card, which has nothing at all to do with wi-fi.  It is for cellular service from a wireless phone provider.  If this is what you mean, then no.  Ipods are not cell phones and cannot access cellular data.

  • Can i put my sim card from my iphone3 and put it into my iphone4

    can i put the sim card out of my iphone3 and put it in to my iphone4

    The SIM Card for iPhone 3GS is too big to fit into iPhone 4. It is completely compatible, so it must be carefully cut and oriented to the exact size with sharp scissors. Best solution is to get a Micro SIM Card from your Carrier, which should be free.

  • HT1316 Can i put my SIM card from my old iphone 5 into my new Iphone 5 i just purcahed? And will my phone start working?

    Can i put my SIM card from my old iphone 5 into my new Iphone 5 i just purcahed? And will my phone start working?

    Yes all of the iPhone 5 family use the nano sim, so as long as you did not switch to a phone locked to another network it will work.  But you do need to go through the activation/setup procedure with tHat sim.

  • Lost some of my settings on my iphone 4s. can I put my husbands sms card in and get my settings back

    My iphone email messed up some how.  In trying to figure this out, I deleted my gmail account.  Somehow this disabled other functions like icloud, facebook, facetime, twitter, etc. I am unable to find some of my clients' old Talk text messages, email messages, etc that were on my phone.
    My husband has the same iphone with the same apps and such and we share some clients information. Can I put his sms card in my phone, back it up to itunes and then back it up to my iphone to reset everything? However, will this then put all of his messages and information onto my phone and thereby lose mine? Will I be viewing only his messages in cache or something like that? Will I even be able to view/retrieve old messages and such of mine?

    Deleting an email account on a device in no way affects icloud, facebook, facetime, twitter, or any other settings on the device EXCEPT that email account and possibly contacts and calendar entries if they are linked to that account.
    For what reason do you think this has occurred?
    Even if it did, which it did NOT, restoring the device from the most recent backup would rectify the issue.
    "We don't want to ask our client which would demonstrate irresponsibility. "
    Then restore the device from the most recent backup to put everything back.  If you have not been backing up the device regularly then you are irresponsible.
    No amount of silly attempts to install another user's SIM card or restore their backup can possibly put YOUR content back on your device.

  • Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

    Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

    Depends on the model of iPhone, and the actual cellular plan it has.
    If its an iPhone 5 with an unlimited Data Plan you may be able to do it.
    Any other model of iPhone or a plan without a data packcage will not work.

  • Can't put any music on external memory card.

    Hello. I've just got this phone and please help me fix this problem.
    I can't put any music on my ext sd card. I tried to do this via copy / paste and via media go. Tried rebooting, formatting still not working. Also build in tool for moving music etc to sd card fails.
    When I try to transfer music on to sd card by media go the end result is no music recognized by Walkman app and two folders are created. "Music" ( with nothing inside) and "albums" with files named by the names of the albums I've transfered.
    I tried deleting .nomedia but after reboot it's there again ( on the sd) in some strangely named folder.
    Also after copying the music to the ext sd LOST.DIR folder is filled with some files ( looks like this is my music)
    I think that's all information I can give you now. Please ask questions if needed.
    Thanks for any kind of help!
    Solved!
