Root [Verizon] Verizon Galaxy S3 ported to Cricket...is 4G LTE possible?

[brianj1971]

I recently ported my number to Cricket wireless from Verizon and kept th end same 4G sim card and they told me at the cricket store that I won't be able to get 4G. Right now I get 3g only and it stinks. Anyone know a fix? I am rooted and using Synergy Rom r484. Any help is mucho appreciated!

No, Cricket uses AWS for 4G the S3 isnt one of the Verizon phones with AWS support. ROM doesnt matter.

Bummer. On another note, I was curious as to what Cricket actually did to my phone to get it working on their service. I have my phone rooted and running SynergyRom r484 and only noticed they installed a sms/mms app that definitely needs to run in order for me to send pictures messages. If I wipe my phone and install a different version of Synergy, I was wondering if that sms program is the only thing I need to add? Or will I wipe something else out that Cricket may have placed on the phone? Any help is appreciated.
