How to use your Verizon branded Nokia Lumia 822 as an unlocked GSM phone

We've mentioned it before, but there is a way to use the Verizon branded Nokia Lumia 822 as an unlocked GSM phone and all you need to do is slip in your SIM card and make sure that your carrier supports the correct bands; if you can get the phone cheap enough, you can end up using it on a low-priced pre-paid carrier and save some nice money...

Band-wise, this looks both 2- and 3G-capable for AT&T and T-Mobile, but probably no 4G or LTE. Not certain, but just a guess

It actually has 4G (for the U.S kind of 4G of course).
But yeah, can't use Verizon 4G LTE if we bought it without contract. Or may be still can somehow which I'm not sure.
But for GSM LTE, a big no!

What happened to the rumor of an impending release of a flagship Nokia phone on VZW? I hope the L822 isn't the 'flagship'. Cause if it is, the folks over at AT&T will be wetting themselves from laughing so hard.

One problem? Straight Talk stop selling the AT&T sim cards a few weeks ago.

Not true. They simply ran out of stock, as confirmed by multiple ST reps. Readily available on Walmart website.

Not true. Straight Talk never confimed anything. The AT&T sims are done on Straight Talk. Most Walmart are out as well. It's over.
