can I use vzw sg3 on at&t? anyway to sim unlock?

my current sg3 is on 4.3 and someone accepted the ota before I got my hands on it.

I simply don't want to use Verizon service I'd behappy to have it on pageplus but then again if I could use a at&t sim card I would also be happy and I think that would be easyer to do.

but when I put the sim in it it just says sim error.

I saw another video saying you could do sim unlock buy dialing *#197328640# to get to the service mode

and this is supposed to work for the note 2 and sg3 but it didn't work for me.

How its been with TW 4.1.2, all you had to do was go into Settings/Mobile Networks/Preferred Network Type and switch to Global or GSM (something along those lines) then edit your APNs. Are you able to change and try? Idk if you there are issues with making your APNs stick.

Hmm wish things where not so complicated. the link says it's for VRUEMJ7

I have VRUCML1

?
Yea, that is the proper tool. Long story short, one user pointed out that it should work in our TW 4.3 discussion thread and then multiple other users confirmed as well. As such, Saferoot for the VZW S4 successfully roots our S3 on 4.3 as well. The OP of the Saferoot thread states it should work on other devices as its not S4 specific and it in fact does work for us.

at this point im not shore if root accsess is even worth the trouble if im going to be prompted with some custom flag dialer everytime I start the phone and then have to install xposed to set fake system status.
it hardly seems worth it all I really want to do is get the phone working on at&t or page plus. do I need that to enable developer mode and usb debugging?

Nah, Developer Options can be enabled easily enough by tapping the build number about eight times: Settings/About Phone

You do not need root. Simply go into Settings/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names. Hit the menu button /Add New APN and input the APN setting for AT&T.

I use a GSM network on my VZW S3.
