Hey everyone. Sorry for the noob and the redundant question. I've combed through all of the 930P forums for an answer and my head is spinning in circles. Let's cut to it...

I have an unlocked S7 from sprint. My son has used it for about a year as a tablet using wifi. It has never been activated through sprint. I am a verizon customer and want to get a verizon SIM working with it so he can have a fully functional phone. I've read at least a dozen different threads on what to do, but don't want to brick the it. It shows 'Invalid SIM card' message when I put the verizon SIM card in it and the phone does not have any of the Samsung bloatware on it. Can anyone help or point me in a good direction, or would it be easier to sell it and find a Verizon variant? Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! I have a 7 year old who is BUGGING me about his phone.

Model: SM-G930P
Software: G930PVPU6BRD2

Sounds like the phone isn't sim unlocked

I'm in the same boat. Sprint unlocked it and UICC says it's unlocked for any sim card, but the phone keeps saying it's roaming and the hands free message is constantly popping up.

Is there a firmware I can flash or a setting I can change to get this working properly on Verizon?
