Samsung Galaxy S3 Compatibility

[krazzykanuck]

Does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy S3 is compatible with PM. I'm getting mixed messages. Thanks.

There is not such thing as a 2G only Samsung Galaxy S3.  If this phone worked with Fido, it has the hardware in it to work with Public Mobile.  The phone might need to be unlocked, but you can get Fido to provide you an unlock code when you give them the IMEI of the phone.

Which version of Galaxy s3? Bell, Rogers, Telus version is i747 model.  Do you have that?  T999 will work at Public but only 3g.

OK, thanks. That makes sense.

I checked the compatibility for PM on willmyphonework and it says that it's not. However, it also says it's not compatible with the carrier (Fido) that it is currently running on???

@krazzykanuck  What is the exact model of your phone? Fido/Rogers still uses 2G so maybe that is why it's working.

If the phone previously worked with a carrier in Canada, and the phone is unlocked, your Samsung S3 will work with Public Mobile

@krazzykanuck What is the make and model of your phone? Did you make sure it's compatible with the PM data network?   Public Mobile has partnered with willmyphonework.net as the new compatibility checker.If you can’t find your make and/ or model, provide feedback directly here.
