What US network are you on if you have unlocked note?

I saw a deal for an unlocked "world" version of the note and I am on TmoUS. So if I buy the note, will I be able to use my unlimited data plan with 3g or H? I am confused reading the forums on the att side and this one...they're saying I can only get edge? Because that would really suck.
I'm on tapatalk and can't do a decent search on xda via app so if this had been asked already, just point me to that thread and I will gladly have this one deleted. Also, the desire to get the unlocked note is a spur of the moment kinda thing since the deal is only available for one day. Btw, unlocked note is selling for 585 with shipping from 1saleaday.

what they said is right you will only get edge speeds on tmobile with the inter.. Note...If you use AT&T then its no big deal.

I am also on tmo. I found an article that says you can run tmo hspa+ on att note so I'm going to try and trade line on Craigslist. Edge is killing me man.

I have T-mo US and I get H in most areas ( I live in Philly area ) as T-mo acquired some 1900mHz, but yes, the natural 700Mhz 3g/4g does not work, sorry.

Hello, so let me get this right. If I have HSPA+ in my area (which I do in Chicago) then I can run the International Note on non-edge tmobile speeds?

that depends on the frequency of the 3g network in your area.
however, this is the first I've seen it mentioned that American t mobile has any other 3g bands than 700mhz.
So I'd say no, you most likely will not get 3g speeds.

The N7000 will only run on T-Mobile edge. If you want 4g you have to AT&T or Straight Talk.

This is true. T-Mobile Sucks! EDGE just blows and I am amazed anyone uses it.
Oh well. I am going to try straight talk in a few weeks to see if that is any better.

Well, EDGE is downright terrible...no one can argue that. If you want to use T-Mobile, you're better off getting the AT-T note, unlocking it, then installing the right modem files to use it on 3g/4g. I use T-Mobile myself, and decided to keep the Int. version...I think it's better, and the development community is WAY better, mainly because the device has been out longer. It's up to you really. Don't hope T-Mobile will be updating it's 1900mhz spectrum in your area anytime soon...it's a process I'm sure will take many years.

Yes they do number porting as long as it is not a at&t number because straight talk uses at&t network.

It sucks that it is more difficult to get the inter version to work on 3g or h on tmo. I did read that the inter version is better than att version and I do believe that development will be better with the inter version as it obviously covers more countries and it has been out longer. I really want this note but I'm just gonna wait a bit. I have a feeling those guys working on getting tmo to work on inter version will be able to do it. Wishful thinking probably but it is possible with all the talented devs out there. I guess I'm going to be on sensation for a while until tmo comes up with a phone as awesome as the note. Thanks for all the responses!!

Check if your area has the TMO 1900Mhz band and if it does then you're in luck for some 3G TMO goodness.

FYI and I have heard of this issue before, Straight Talk gets varied reception in Metropolitian areas. Let me explain.
I have had ST for a few months now, on the NT7000. I have had zero issues.
A couple of caveats
DO NOT use more than 100mb/day or 2gb/month, whichever comes first. People have had their contracts terminated by ST for doing this. So not truly unlimited (but still more than decent deal). This is not a *hard* limit- I have done more without any issues by accident.
I get decent service in the suburb of NYC where I live (few tall buildings), actually much better service than Tmobile had.
However, in NYC itself, the service can be absolutely horrible depending on area. My guess for this phenomenon is that while you are on an ATT MVNO, this doesn't necessarily mean that you have the same roaming rights as regular ATT customers. In a metro area, roaming might be necessary to get signal in certain places.
My download speeds at 2gb down 1 up.
I would just buy a months' worth at first and try it out as prepaid, then port your number in.
From what I understand, you don't even need to buy the e71 like I did anymore

I do. I got it with the SGS II and ow with the Note. up to 3mbs download. Good enough. MediaNet is $10 a month unlimited, I don't use nearly 2GB maybe less than 1 as I am in WiFi most of the time. I am using a Cingular.wap setting. Its different than the "smartphone" APN but the speeds are the same (until LTE is available) I don't need LTE speeds on a phone. I don't even get those speeds at home on cable. maybe 7Mbs DL.

[Q] 4G on GT-N7000 with Tmob or go Straight Talk?

I got this phone as a total impulse buy and didn't research. I am currently on Tmob and all I have is edge. How can I get 4G? Or should I just go to Straight Talk to get 4G.

You can either go with att or straight talk. I used to be on t-mobile and went to straight talk and data speeds are pretty good. I usually get 3Mbps sometimes as high as 6.

I get 7 down 2 up on att.
You will never get more than edge on t mobile.

Or get T-mo mifi
I also used the Note with Edge and T-mo, I used it on ATT with HSPA+ one moth and had very good speed so I am going to switch to straighttalk. However I also bought the Tmo mifi for when I travel and that works well to supply multiple devices with 4g.
I considered keeping my Tmo plan for the Note and using edge but keeping the Mifi around when I needed more speed. The only reason I do not do that is it would bring my monthly bill up to 60 and with Straight Talk I can get the same for 45.

You could try Net10 $50unlimited plan. I always thought they were a Verizon Mnvo but I guess they have agreements with ATT. I just ordered a sim so I can give them a try. Anyone have experience with their BYO plan?

I must be missing something here as I don't know what straighttalk is...
The note doesn't support 4g, you need dedicated hardware for that. Fastest you'll get is hspa+.
Sent from my Paranoid Android GT-N7000. It doesn't get much better than this!

Att and its resellers is the only way to get 3g on an n7000 unless you live in one of the few areas of the usa where tmo uses the 1900 band for hdspa. I use tmo myself and dont find 2g that limiting, as i have wifi everywhere i go, and 2g is adequate for gps when traveling.

I went to a phone store and they guy talked me into Red Pocket phone service. It is 60 per month and I get hspa+ everywhere I go. They cap at 2GB of data.
I average 3 to 6 MBPS down. I don't know if HSPA+ is generic 4G but for a phone, it's great.

Carrier Unlocked?

Hi is I just Carrier(Sim) unlocked the phone with HTCunlocker.com for $35. First try they didn't find it in the database the they searched in 2013 and I got it unlocked. I can use it on T-Mobile 4G. Getting very fast speeds.
Sent from my HTC First using xda premium

Not by default, but you should be able to request AT&T to unlock the device while on contract with them like you would with any other device, at which point you could get a micro sim from T-Mobile instead. You would likely need to pay an ETF to AT&T though, if you want to terminate your service with them after buying the phone, assuming you bought the phone on subsidy/contract.

Well I just called At&t and HTC they are both not able to unlock.

Did you purchase it off-contract? If not, they definitely can't unlock it for you. However, if they did, I'd call back in a few weeks. IIRC it takes a bit before they get unlock codes.

not unlockable at "first", haha.

This device is exclusive to AT&T for the first month of its life, later to be released to T-Mobile and Verizon I'd wager.
Until this exclusivity is up, the phone will remain carrier-unlockable.

Also hoping for clarification
Definitely wanting this phone but not trying to pay $80/mo. at AT&T when I can go prepaid at T-Mo. There's some confusing overlap between bands that I'm not entirely sure how to take apart. Here's from GSMarena's specs:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - for AT&T
4G Network LTE 700 / 1700 / 2100
Is there a band-limited version specifically for AT&T? And does the lack of 1700/2100 in 3G networks on the First prevent that from working?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_USA#Radio_frequency_spectrum_chart

For those wondering - AT&T is selling this guy for $350 in store, no contract right now. If you bring in an older working smartphone (I have one or two lying around) they'll give you $100 off - so that's $250. Sign up for their cheapest talk-only plan, $25/mo, then cancel right away and take it on over to T-Mobile, you got yourself a nice $50-$60 plan, and according to the T-mo guy, LTE and everything. I'm about to pull the trigger this weekend.

I've read that that the 1700 and 2100 are needed for data to work. I've compared a lot of phones on phonescoop and all the T-Mobile phones have 17 & 21 frequencies.

Paired with their $30 100 minute /unlimited everything plan, this is looking to be a real solid setup.

When you say "it works fine," do you mean "I can make/receive calls/messages" or "I get 3G+ speeds, plus all the other stuff". ANY phone that takes a sim card will "work just fine" with T-mobile, but that's not the point of having a smartphone.
I'm guessing the only way to get "4G" is if you live in the refarmed areas.

4G LTE Indicator?

If possible could anyone on Sprint screenshot when they know they're on LTE and show me?

No you don't get a Wimax signal. The HTC's radio is not capable of this. As far as I know, neither is any other LTE phone. But you don't have much to lose. Sprint is expected to shut down its WiMax by 2015 (or something) and I've read it wasn't much good either. Sprint is just starting to roll out its LTE. I'm supposed to get it in August. I'm waiting. It should be worth it.

You might be in an area where 4G isn't fully implemented and just experimental. I work in NY and they never officially announced that they deployed LTE here. I do connect to 4G LTE outside my office but speed tests only show like 1.5 - 2 mb at best, even with full bars.

Basically how it rolls. There's a few towers in my area that are sporadically transmitting LTE, but if you try to use actual data it'll kick you down to 3G (which would likely contribute to your low speeds).

Yeah this is my current situation as well. I might get a 4G signal, but it's like 1 maybe 1.5 down. Most of the time I'm on crappy 3G, with speeds of 0.1 mbps.

It's not just sprint. HTC phones report signal this way. Cyanogenmod reports signal differently, and other manufactures report signal differently also.
but it's ok to eat fish cause they don't have feelings.....

Given that there's no standard for "bars" with data signals, that's fine with me. I'd like a statusbar widget though that reported that kind of info.

If you want a standard, use the "text" setting. It displays the signal strength in dBm

Anyone using Nexus 6 on Cricket?

AT&T now has service in my area and everywhere else around me. I'm cheap so obviously I want to choose Cricket over AT&T or GoPhone and yes I'm aware there is 8mbps cap for LTE and 4mbps for HSPA but that doesn't bother me.
Anybody using Cricket? Calling/SMS/MMS/Data reliable? I've seen mixed reviews on Cricket.

I use Straight Talk on AT&T towers. $50/month after taxes for 5GB of data and unlimited everything else. Plus, the speeds on Straight Talk AT&T are not capped, so it's well worth to me.

I considered straight talk and att gophone but I need 3 lines. 3 lines on Cricket would be $90 for 3GB data per line, $120 for 8gb data per line, or $150 for unlimited, taxes and fees included so it's the cheapest MVNO. Prices would go down even further getting 2 more people in and doing the group sharing. 8mbps is plenty for me and the other lines, we don't download large files on cellular and 8mbps is capable of streaming audio/video no problem.

Yes, almost two years now, very happy. I switched from Straight Talk due to poor communications and many local network outages (central coastal California halfway between SF and LA).

Been with Cricket for over a year now. Love their unlimited plan. Usually go over 15GB no problem. Plus the hotspot workaround makes it even more worth it. Service and customer service are great. Much better than Straight Talk.

Perhaps I've simply been lucky with Straight Talk. I've never had a problem with their customer service when I needed it. As for the service itself, I use the AT&T side of things so it has been excellent for me. However Straight Talk uses all four carriers, so your mileage will vary, especially if you use Sprint.
I've given thought to switching to Cricket in the past, but I cannot get past the throttling aspect. To me, throttling LTE to HSPA speeds means you aren't truly getting LTE. You're not getting everything you're paying for. LTE = speed, and I don't want to be stuck in the slow lane.

I've used mine on Cricket with zero problems for over a year.The LTE caps haven't been an issue and I get good speeds consistently.Im on the $70 plan and used 64 gigs last month with no slow down.My average use per month runs around 30 gigs.I myself think they are far superior to straight talk but that's just my opinion.

So the current word is the Google Nexus 6 running Android 7.0 works 100% on cricket besides LTE band 30 for better indoor quality?
Does the hot-spot work fully without any hacking on the unlimited plan and does VoLte work with Cricket?

Would you care to place a copy of your current apn settings up on the forum so that I can try it out with my phone once I get switched back to cricket.
And TBH I have noticed that cricket stock is iffy at best. Due to LTE aggregation it works faster than 8mbps on standard LTE but when using hot-spot my ps4 seems to get like no speed at all, took 13+ hours to download bf4 but that was also with an avg. 2 bars in my house as most of crickets phones do not have band 30 LTE so they don't normally have good indoor coverage in any place but tons of towers where pretty much every carrier and tower has full signal or 4 bars

I did this with a T-Mobile one on metropcs, usually a 3 Mbps boost but sometimes it'll read 16 on metro mmsc and 22 on tmo

Cricket has been good for me so far, I was on fi then switched to mint because I'm always looking for a deal or promotion and I switched to cricket got a free phone that I sold on eBay. They use at&t towers which have been fine for me.
