Sprint Galaxy S3 Flashed To Verizon Prepaid. Is 4G Capable?

[LandenX]

Hello everyone i could use some info regarding The Sprint Galaxy S3 [SPH-L710]

So im getting a new phone. i work at walmart and noticed that verizon released the galaxy s3 for prepaid.. I decided i wunt it but theres a problem i have to be able to use it as a Hotspot in order to do that i needa use pda net witch requires Root. I have looked and looked and looked and found out that the Prepaid Galaxy s3 [i535PP] can NOT be rooted, but the non Prepaid version of the galaxy s3 [i535] and the sprint version [L710] of the s3 CAN be rooted... so if i had a non prepaid version of the galaxy s3 i can root it and use it as a hotspot with pda net. i did some research and found that the sprint Galaxy S3 L710 can be flashed to verizon =) so i searched ebay for a sprint galaxy s3 flashed to verizon prepaid and i found 1 listing with a guy that has a Sprint L710 Galaxy S3 and i wunt to buy it and root it.... So here is my question

I researched Sprint Galaxy S3 and read alot about 4g not working... im not 100% sure if this is a issue with the phone itself or sprint the provider but If i buy this phone and its flashed to verizon prepaid will the phone be able to get 4g signal/service
Verizon recently released 4g on prepaid network and id like to use it with this phone.
bottom line is will a Sprint Galaxy S3 Flashed to Verizon Prepaid Be able to access 4g signal??
Thanks in Advance!!!

Nope no 4g service if the phone is flashed to Verizon prepaid. At least Verizon's LTE.

Now you can get 4g but from a sprint provider. Either ting or freedompop I believe. I use freedompop. You only get 500 mb of data but you can pay more if you need more.

No. Verizon's 4g operates on a completely different frequency then Sprint. You will be able to use 3G and 1xRTT and that's it.
