To be honest, I'm not all that interested in Pokemon Go, as I'm not much of a mobile game person. However, my sister has really wanted me to try the game and play with her and her husband. Thing is, I use a Lumia 950, so I obviously can't get the game on there.

The initial solution was for me to use my brother-in-law's Galaxy S4, tether it to my 950, and go forth in that manner. However, upon setting up the phone (and a Google account...) and installing the app, it continuously gave a GPS error. This was despite numerous settings changes, including having the GPS on High Accuracy, GPS-only, and data-only (WiFi/cellular). I also attempted tethering it to my 950 via WiFi (though not Bluetooth, which this game seems uninterested in), and I tried having it on a strong, local WiFi connection. In every case, I was unable to get it to find a GPS signal.

The GS4 is on Verizon, my 950 is on AT&T. I can't just swap the SIM in. Android complains every time I power on the phone that I will not be able to do some stuff without a SIM card, but I've got no clue the extent to which that takes effect (just no cellular stuff, or does android/Samsung restrict it even further?). So, does anyone have an idea if you can do what I'm attempting, tethering the phone as a WiFi-only device? Would I need to get the GS4 unlocked from Verizon, or even root it, to get it to cooperate? Would getting the phone unlocked let me throw in the AT&T SIM (I can't remember the band setups on those things, is it a universal radio?)?

Well, the Data only usualy work with a Sim subscription. So i guess you have you're answer.You can still play on place where there is wifi.

btw it's pokeheroes here, not a pokemon go forum....

Idk i'm not into phone stuff.

Of course it's not requiring any sim, it's an android game, peoples even play it on pc emulator. But without Data' it's pretty useless since u can't go everywhere.
