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 they asked to setup the APN as per below settings which I did but it still does not works. If anyone can help me on this issue it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

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.

Ok, spent an hour with 'tech'. After we ended with no fix. I found the fix my accident. I had my VZW S5 setting WITHOUT SPACES (default,supl,mms) . Then I tried it WITH SPACES, (default, supl, mms) and it worked and my ' 4G ' is lighted up and bright and the data now works, I also did the 'bearer' to LTE.

I was going nuts -- had spent a large chunk of yesterday on FB with some very helpful people and nothing worked.  But you did.  Thanks!  Now I don't have to send my phone back and start over.

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!

they have taken 3G away which is what your phone would need in order to make a call. or at least theyre currently shutting it down. so whatever device you decide to use would need to have VoLTE capabilities..TMOs variant of it at least.
