the reason why verizon is the only in the US that has it is because they paid a sh*t load of money to samsung the have exclusivity, this happens on almost every smart phone, sprints getting it next because verizons exclusivity is running out and sprints re-upping it in a kind of way but verizon still gets to sell the phones.

were a commonwealth but the exclusivities dont apply to us, when verizon has exclusivity!!! plus we have an agreement with samsung and we get almost all samsung phones before others, excluding the exclusivities. we have GNEX GSM(only ones in P.R), Gnote int vers. (att is the other only one that carries it), galaxys s 2 i9100(we had it since june 2011), galaxy mini, galaxy ace, galaxy fit, nokia lumia 710 and 800, morola Razr etc. and guaranteed to have the SGS 3 before any other carrier here!!

thats why I love Claro lol. I use ATT but i just trade or buy a Claro phone (since they bring the international versions) unlocked and not put up with carrier branded BS.
I have seen Galaxy Nexus's as low as $400 in clasificadosonline, so im picking one up soon maybe, unless they bring the HTC One X before that happens (Tegra 3 version)

I'm also on the same boat. I use AT&T here in PR and when I get the chance I try to get an unlocked phone from Claro. And, as mike21pr, if they get a HTC One X international version I might trade up from the GNexus that i'm rocking right now.

I thought claro used to be part of Verizon a few years back. I would have guessed they were cdma. I used to be able to go back to PR and use my Verizon phones and not roam but after Verizon and claro split I get roaming charges. I could be completely wrong and a simple Google search would answer my question. So I'll just go ahead and do that now. lol

Claro and verizon have never been the same company!!! Claro bought Verizon in P.R a few years back and Verizon no longer exists. Claro transitioned to gsm but theres still a couple of cdma towers up that do give service. Lte is supposed to roll out pretty soon here in Claro too. The reason we ge the international versions of the phones is because of ATT and Tmobile exclusivity with Usa phones, but as others have posted it is a big plus!! Plus the smartphones dont have to be USA price, for example the 16gb 4s is $99, 32gb $199, 64gb $299 thats $100 less each version than any other carrier on the island. Nexus $249 on contract $599 no contract, Note $299 contract $679 no contract.

Any idea what CDMA bands Claro still operates in PR? I'm on Verizon in the US and will be traveling to PR later this year with my LTE Galaxy Nexus. Just want to be sure I can make voice calls.... not expecting any data other than Wifi.

same as verizon, but coverage is pretty spotty in cdma now cause of the transition. if im not mistaken you probably will get roaming with openmobile here in pr too. but it will works
ClaroPR is Puerto Rico's Verizon in short, same antennasn everything, a friend's old verizon razr even works still....
The reason is that even though Puerto Rico is Commonwealth of the USA, and all telephone companies are regulated by the FCC as in the states, ClaroPR follows FCC Regulations but are under Latin Americas buying policies. This said, even though Verizon (with over 67 million customers) bought the rights for Nexus in the USA, Claro/America Mobile (with over 230 million customers) buys them via Latin America. The same reason why we get the i (international) versions, e.g. i9000, i9100 for S1 and S2, and i9300 for S3 and not the North American versions. Meaning we get the modifiable versions, like when ICS 4.0 came out for the S2, we could upgrade our Claro S2's but not our AT&T or TMo's S2's

Yes Claro still supports Verizon CDMA Roaming, I have a friend right now visiting the Island and he is under CDMA 1x on his verizon phone and works perfectly
---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------
Just like prking07 said Claro bought Verizon PR a few years ago. Claro is in no way a mini Verizon, Verizon is the 12th largest on some lists with about 92 million subscribers, while Claro is the 4th largest in the world with well over 220 million subscribers. So it looks like Verizon is a mini Claro and not the other way around
I have business in PR from time to time and picked up a GT-I9100 from Claro for a friend who borked his at&t model a few months ago.
When i return in August, I hope that Claro has the ONE X by that point as I will probably pick one up for my wife.

I plan to buy and HTC One ASAP but prefer an unlocked version. Does anyone know if the LTE on an unlocked HTC One that I buy in the US or UK would be compatible with US AT&T. Is there a specific HTC One model number that would guarantee US AT&T LTE compatibility? Any recommended source for purchase?
The same question here also, but on Bell in Canada.

Won't work on bell. If you check the ltecovere map on Bell' the 3600 mnz band(150 Mbps) is very limited. Rogers got it covered in GTA, and expanding further in coming May. I even talked to s Bell rep, and he said that the 2600 MHz band is only for late rocket USB sticks on their network, no smart phones for now.

Hold off buying the Int'l version. 2600 only LTE will not work on AT&T (which is the only NAM LTE band the Int'l version supports).
Right now all the online sources (like Clove, Negri, Expansys, Handtec) are selling the Int'l version.
As I believe OP is based in the US, what you really want to wait for is the Developer's version, which will have 64GB of storage and AT&T-compatible LTE.

Which variant of the Note 4 should I buy? I live in the states, but don't use the LTE coverage, but would be great to future-proof my device. I travel around the globe at times. I would rather have the warranty in the states than having a warranty belonging to some other country that I never travel to. If I had to go between the T-Mobile and AT&T version (obviously Unlocking these devices will incur an additional fee), which one should I buy? What about the International version? What are your thoughts. Please let me know. Thank you.

T-Mobile give you free Wifi calling, international texts and data, $.20 international calls if you can't get on Wifi, plus free texts and voicemail in the air through Go-Go. That's why I'm getting it.
Thanks for the information. I too am considering T-mobile and just signed up for their test-drive phone.

The previous answers seem to be talking about using a T-Mobile Note 4 and getting T-Mobile service. Your question's about which device would be the most versatile used both in the U.S. and overseas. Definitely go with international version. Samsung's UK site shows it supports both AT&T and T-Mobile's LTE bands as well as additional international bands neither of the U.S. phones support.
While you may be able to use a AT&T Note 4 on T-Mobile and vice versa their radios are optimized for the networks they are designed to be used on. I'm in an AT&T VoLTE market and can use it on my Note 3. A friend here using a T-Mobile N3 on AT&T can't using the same APN.
My current Note 3 is my first carrier phone out of a half dozen over four years so I have a lot of Samsung international device experience. I've only used them on AT&T and have no interest in T-Mobile as a carrier. They've performed fine on AT&T. But none of them got the same level of connectivity and data speeds as friends with AT&T phones when tested from the exact same locations. In the year I've had my AT&T Note 3 I've never had a network connectivity problem. With my international phones they'd occasionally lose connectivity and I'd have to reboot them to get them back on the network. Like when turning them on when landing at destination after a flight; they couldn't find the network on their own when moving from one AT&T network design (they're different by region through acquisition) to another.
I'm typing this on an international 3G N10.1-14. 90+% of the time I have no network issues and it works brilliantly overseas. Going with an international device is always safer than a carrier device because Samsung's international radios are generic. Every carrier's device has its radio optimized for their specific network. If you read the forums where people are using T-Mobile (and even Canadian phones) on AT&T it's not all peaches and cream. My recommendation is to go with an EU international Note 4 because of its generic support for a ton of global bands. I'd avoid Asian phones because their bands are very different as is the pre-installed s/w.
Good luck.
Thanks for a very careful and thorough explanation. Are there any ebay sellers selling the UK Note 4 version? How should I go about adding warranty? Squaretrade?

I'd stay away from eBay. Most LTE Samsung devices sold there are Asian. The dollar's exceptionally strong right now. I'd buy it from handtec.co.uk if I were you. In fact, if I wasn't getting the Note 4 for free because I'm on Next I'd buy my Note 4 from Handtec too. You can even get it in bronze and be the first on your block. Converted from GBP it's currently $806 including two-day FedEx shipping; that's cheaper than AT&T's $826 without tax. Because you're buying a UK phone in the UK Samsung's 24 month UK warranty is intact. You'll have to pay to send it there if it needs service but it's better than nothing. I had a UK SGS2 that had a cracked bezel and Samsung UK was very accommodating in repairing it. I'd get SquareTrade anyway and they'll cover an imported UK phone. The UK is also one of the first region's to receive updates so that's a plus too.
Seems like Clove is able to take off the region-lock whereas Handtec is unable to. Do the UK LTE Note 4's support T-Mobile's Band 12. Seems like I just want as many bands as possible as you never know when you want to switch to another US Carrier.
I'm currently using an MVNO (PureTalk) that relies on AT&T's network; currently using an unlocked T-Mobile Note 2 in Mint Condition, soon to be sold.
I do see how the European Model N910F is more versatile and at the same time, most expensive if purchased in the states (~$1300) compared to the Korean LTE Variants and Hong Kong Exynos (910U) Variant. The T-Mobile units are available online for $~750.

Just to confirm, does Samsung consider the N910F to be an international unlocked Note 4?
I can't seem to tell what is the official International Unlocked version
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-note-4
Would you go for the 910'F' or 910'C'?
I am looking to buy another Note 4 and was wondering what the pros and cons of each where. Also will the international work on T-mobile without issue? I tried searching for the answers before I made this post (I may just do a poor job searching) and only found speculation post before the phones were released. I know with my T-Mobile Note 4 it seems it overheats from time to time if I am downloading a torrent and I found an article about Samsung dropping the 810 because of "overheating fears".
Thanks for any advice or information in advance.
910U taiwan is awesome. no issues.
Im on the tmober and am actually overclocked to the max.. zero problems...

Buy the T-Mobile variant if you live in the states and use T-Mobile or any of its affiliate MNVO's.
Buy the T-Mobile variant if you live in the states and want the warranty via T-Mobile / Samsung.
Buy the T-Mobile variant if you live in the states or live abroad and want true GSM bands and or want to root.
Don't Buy the T-Mobile variant if you're concerned with overheating (Common byproduct of Snapdragon SoC's)
Buy the SM-910C instead, and be aware, of its CAT4 LTE Modem, Lack of Warranty (if buying and living in the States), and Exynos Chipset (Some say performs a tad bit better), but lesser ROM Development; still caries most of the bands the T-Mobile Snapdragon variant and is GSM-ready.

No 64 Gb note 5 in canada
I've checked with all the carriers none have plans to carry 64 gb note 5 here in canada. Also they only have sapphire black for some reason for now.. dissappointed was looking forward to buying a note 5 64 gb I think I just might buy a note edge as it has micro SD support. Any suggestions?
This is such a disappointment.
I originally planned on upgrading to the S6 Edge Plus, since I never made any use of the SPEN from my Note 3, so I figured that was a logical decision. I just picked up the phone last Friday (the 21st - launch date) and after spending the weekend playing with it, I've come to realize that I absolutely LOATHE the curved edge screen, and decided to take advantage of Rogers' "Buyers Remorse" policy and return the phone for the Note5 instead.
Until I realized they only offer the 32GB variety. So then I was thinking, f#@% it, I'll just cancel my policy outright and go with a different provider, only to find out that NONE of the Canadian carriers are offering anything but the 32GB variant of the Note5. WHAT THE HELL? Is this 2015 or 2005? If I wanted a 32GB phone, I'd go with a goddamn iPhone.
Now I think I'm stuck with the Edge Plus, not that it's a terrible phone, I just personally don't care for the curved screen as it makes reading text and viewing certain things seem rather annoying, since it can "bend" around the corners of the screen (maybe I'm just used to a flat-screen device, and in time will get used to this thing).
I'm going to see if I can reverse the upgrade altogether and get out of my contract entirely, but knowing Rogers (and even though it's only been 4 days since I renewed my policy) I'm likely screwed or will have to pay $$$ in early cancellation fees. However, if it's feasible, it might be the better option, cancelling my plan outright, paying any and all fees and buying an unlocked or AT&T version of the 64GB Note5 -- rather than settling for a phone I dislike from the get-go.
Bastards.

yea i am really disappointed myself. having the extra space would be nice. however, there are ways to work around it. I have everything synced up to google drive with 1TB of storage. for daily use i never have an issue with space. when i go on vacation or am away from the house for a while i just access everything on gdrive and download it to my phone when i have watched whats on there already. its easy enough to find wifi in most places.
I checked with Samsung Canada and was told that the 64GB for the Note 5 will be arriving soon. They did not give me the exact date though.

I'm a total noob so apologies if this is a ridiculous question. I am also looking for a 64gb N5 for Canada.
I use Wind in Canada. Their web site says,
"The WIND Mobile network uses a frequency called AWS, with bands 1700/2100 MHz".
They list their 32gb Note 5 as:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS: B1(2100),B2(1900),B4(AWS),B5(850)
Now, there is a Taiwan seller of the Note 5 that offers a 64gb version (with dual sim) and they say the phone has:
Cellular Band (2G GSM): GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900
Cellular Band (3G): B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850), B8(900)
Cellular Band (3G TD-SCDMA): B34(2010), B39(1880)
Cellular Band (4G FDD LTE): Band 1,2,3,4(AWS),5,7,8,12,17,18,19,25,26,28
Cellular Band (4G TDD LTE): B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), B41(2500)
Note that 4th line, which contains AWS. However, it's also the LTE line, which Wind doesn't have.
So, what's the deal here? Will the Taiwanese phone work on Wind or not?
Thank you!
Was checking out the note 5 and s6 edge plus in a Rogers store today. They each have less than 10GB free! WTF?
I've gotta get off the Samsung train I think...
As has been stated before, the store demo phones are loaded with apps and stuff. A new 32GB Note 5 has approx 22GB free.

I hope when you receive your Note 5, it's 64GB, but I have a funny feeling it's 32GB.

I just picked up a 64GB Titanium Silver Note 5 from a Rogers store in Edmonton.
Hi All
September 1st I'm flying to Seoul for holiday and really wanna pick up a Note 5.
Does anyone know where the best place to buy is? Maybe dlight store in Gangnam?
Also do the Korean versions ever get root or roms?
Thanks!
the Delight store in Gangnam, the Galaxy store in Coex Mall... any Samsung mobile retail location. They were fully stocked as of release date as far as I saw last week and this week.
The only caution I would advise is make sure the Korean version supports the LTE band/bands you will need in your home country. I ended up having to buy one in the states because my phone company here uses Band 4, which the Korean Note 5 does not support.
I think the Korean one supports H+ on my current carrier... I can get sims that will work on there though.
I will head to dlight
That should be good enough. Good luck, and make sure to post pics of your Delight spoils! I've been home for 3 days and am already jealous of your trip
I love Korea!! Amazing place.. This will be my 5th time Fly out on tuesday, going to dlight as soon as ive dropped off my luggage lol
Korea is not very tourist friendly. Hard to even buy a sim card for visitors or tourists. If you are Korean with a Korean Passport and local ID then it should not be a problem. I believe that most telecom companies in Korea only sell carrier locked smartphones with contract and you need a local ID to buy one if I am not mistaken. Also pay attention to the 4G LTE bands on smartphone if you do manage to find one that you could buy unlocked. In the city you will notice that even some taxis will not stop to pick you up if they see that you are a white person.
@desiregeek my experience was the complete opposite. It's super easy to buy a SIM card at the airport from olleh or SK Telecom. Also, carrier locking is not as common as it is here...

You can only buy the rental sim card at the airport unless they recently changed the rules. You can not purchase an unlocked sim card at any of their carriers in South Korea. The ones at the airport are sort of like a rented SIM card. In Thailand,Hong Kong,China,Taiwan or pretty much every other Asian country one can get a SIM card at a 7-11 or telecom carrier that is unlocked of which visitors or tourists can purchase for use while in the country.
It's my 5th time in Korea lol. Never had any problems but I can speak Korean too so it helps. Posting from the note I bought now. Just trying to work out how to make a deodexed rom for the S model version
Visiting Busan

Im also visiting Busan in October and was thinking of picking up a note 5, if I may ask how much did yours cost?
Mine was 1 million won so around 520 I paid but was 64gb. Haha just on the ktx back from busan to seoul now!
It seems Finland might not get the Note 5 at all, so if I want one, I need to pick one up on my trip.
Thanks for the info, I guess you had a nice train ride with your new Note 5, enjoy!
