Hi. I would like to purchase the octa core galaxy note 4.I have to buy it unlocked and would like to know if I can use it on Verizon. It has a Sim card slot which I use right now so could I just pop that in the new phone and use it?
if the phone does not support CDMA frequencies then it will not work on Verizon. The Branding doesn't matter as much as the correct radio and frequencies that Verizon uses.
Just an FYI not all of verizon phones have their logo, for instance the Doid Turbo Ballistic Nylon doesn't have any Verizon branding.
It will not work on Verizon.
Only devices with the Verizon logo will work on the VZW network.
It does have Verizon services built into the device. It is also sold by Verizon and only for Verizon. It's a "branded" device.
Also even if the phone supports CDMA doesn't mean it will work on Verizon. Nexus 5 is a prime example.
Thats not the definition of a branded device but ok we won't keep this going cause its not worth it.
also did you not read what I said.. I believe I said cdma and frequencies that verizons supports.... Lets not try to be so combative, these arguments that your trying to state really isn't worth the words...
he Turbo is a branded device as it is made specifically FOR Verizon and uses the licensed Droid moniker which belongs to Verizon(which is licensed from Lucas Arts). If it was just Motorola Turbo you would have had a point, but it's called a Motorola DROID Turbo.
I am only correcting something I see wrong. Sure it doesn't have the logo but it's still branded. That's why I used the Nexus 5 as an example of an unbranded device.
Sure looks like a banded phone to me. It says Verizon on the back at the bottom right over the Droid logo only used by Motorola. And I am pretty sure that the Nexus 5 does not work with VZW.
Go look at one in the store or watch a unboxing hands on. There is no external branding on it. I have one in my hand.
This picture is from vow.com. It could be a pre production image but I have never seen a VZW device with no Verizon logo on it except for the iPhone. All carriers have their logo on devices except for Apple.
It should be branded according to the official website on Motorola.

If you actually have the phone though it doesn't have that on the back of the phone unless it was changed after the first wave of phones sent out.
I also have a turbo in ballistic nylon. No VZW branding to be found. just the big DROID on the back
