So I just aquired this GS3 after using a T-Mo LG G2. So my question is do I have the CDMA or GSM version? How do I tell? Can it be identified with the firmware or hsrdware version? The reason I ask is because Verizon is a CDMA network yet it has LTE sim cards in the phones. I just esnt to mske sure that I have thr correct vedsion before I stsrt flsshing my a$$ off. I already have root and working TWRP. Any help he here would be great.

If you have the Blue S3 for metro then its the gsm version. White s3 is cdma version.
