I know there are plenty of global-network related threads on here, but the majority of them were made back before the OTA update and reference the complicated stuff while leaving out the more basic stuff, like *where* to set your APN.
I've got a standard Telus SIM card (from my old Milestone, which was just barely hanging on in a few vital areas... proximity sensor flakes out, headphone jack has been repaired three times, GPS no longer works...) and just trimmed it with scissors based on this guide: w w w . techradar . com /news/mobile-computing/tablets/how-to-make-your-own-ipad-or-iphone-4-micro-sim-681020 (sorry, can't post links so remove the spaces...) I'll note that I marked which corner of the SIM was "rounded off" before cutting, so I wouldn't lose track. (just make a little mark at the edge of the "chip" contacts in that corner.)
Opening the back of the battery cover without the original opener tool isn't as nice as it could be, but I've successfully used staples and a mechanical pencil tip.
One you put in the SIM and power up the device, you'll get an "unknown SIM" error, but it should still start fine.
After I got through the setup stuff, my phone worked for dialing and receiving calls, but no data. here's what I had to do:
[menu]->[system settings]->[wireless and networks: more...]->[mobile networks]
Make sure [Data Enabled] is checked.
tap [global data roaming access] and set it to [allow access for all trips]
Scroll down to "GSM/UMTS settings" and tap [Access Point Names]
tap the [menu] button and [new APN]
Use these values: (from: androidforums dot com /hero-support-troubleshooting/45005-mobile-network-apn-settings.html#post348959)

Recently connected an ICS Verizon Droid 4 to Telus but am now getting -100 dBm signal both inside and outside the house. Old Milestone never had any signal issues, whatsoever, inside or outside.
I created the Telus APN using the correct settings, which got me H data. Then, I went through the network settings, manually chose Telus, manual set on GSM/UMTS (not global), and set to UMTS only for network. Still only 1-2 bars max, always.
Any ideas or settings to change?

I very rarely see more than 2 bars. My old Motorola xprt was this way until it received an update than the signal meter was more accurate, I think it something you just live with.
Question have you tried to setup call fowarding? It doesn't allow me say I am roaming.

Thanks for the heads up on the bars. As for call forwarding, I haven't attempted to set that up as I haven't needed it.

I plan to purchase this phone and based on the specs I've seen it should have no trouble on the new Telus/SaskTel network here in Saskatchewan (Please correct me if I'm wrong). Just a quick question for those of you who have the phone, can you or do you have to root this phone to delete the unnecessary bloatware that comes on the phone?
Thanks in advance

Just got my Note straight from the UK, unlocked. Been on the phone with ATT about 6 times. I can send and recieve calls, texts - but no DATA. They can't seem to figure out why it will not pick up the ATT Data Network. Sim, EIN all linked, but no joy.
I am a noob, sorry - any ideas. I hate to send the phone back.
Any ideas ?
Update - Funk2641's response below (no APN was entered) - fixed it the issue.
Still, ATT would not give me a 4G smartphone plan - even though the H+ shows up next to the clock ? Initial Speedtests look like the same as my Infuse, Atrix and 4S.
Thanks everybody (Funk2641) for your help ! I hope this thread saves some agony for many as this phone is hitting the states. Don't know if I will tread in Eurospec for the Nexus, as I will want to hold that one in my hand first.
Also, this is a great phone - speed, battery life and the screen is fantastic !

I will follow this thread since I will also switch from T-mobile to AT&T.
I too have the same issues. I actually used a few different apns and got edge to work poorly, I sighed and told myself ICS would fix it all up better and to just enjoy the extra battery life of 2g now, God I hope a get this cleared up

Technically, the Note is just a big SGS2. There's no reason on the phone side you should be having a problem using the Cingular APN. I'm using a ISGS2 and a UK 3G Tab 10.1 on AT&T with no problem. It's either something with the provisioning of your account or your Note may not have the right bands (Asian?). The latter is unlikely if you ordered it from the UK. Try reseting the APN to default under network settings. Also, if you're on a legit 4G plan there's a specific APN that you can find on the ASGS2 forum.
Here is another APN that works, I had the same issue
For APN settings use the name ATT and then for APN the word phone. Leave everything else blank-what is needed will get filled in automatically. Click the APN when you finish adding it and the radio button turns green to indicate it is working. The advantage to this APN setting is it gives you clear access and data speeds are not limited by ATT.
Those apns didn't work and I too a would doubt my phone bring the Asian version,.this version of gingerbread has the option to suspend my data network from holding down the power button maybe the software isn't...... I don't know I have no clue but my apns are normal but when's search they don't come up
In the list automatically so something a wrong
and I came from a hspa+ phone so my plan is already to go, I called to double check
to op, glad you got it straightened out...who did you order from and how much?

What plans are you guys, please?
(Anyone on month to month $50 unlimited?
There are two different APNs to use depending on what data plan you're on. If you're using a MediaNet or Data for non-Smartphones plan (3G) you need to use the Cingular APN. If you're on a legit 4G plan you need to use the special APN for 4G phones. If you reverse it, you'll get no data. For those of you on the 4G plan, go in to the APN settings. When you press menu, there's a reset to default option. It should pull the 4G settings down automatically. If you're on a 3G plan don't do this and instead manually enter the below settings. If you do this correctly you should get data. If you have a quad-band phone and still can't get data it's something with your account settings and not the h/w.

First I want to say I don't have a note so I can't confirm this myself. I was watching a review and the guy said he had hspa on his note. I poked around the site and saw some instructions on how to get a unlocked device working on tmo.
Can someone test this and post their findings? I would love a note on tmo!

Thank you for trying. AT&T works fine... T-Mobile has a different radio frequency ... its like trying to get an FM station on an AM channel. The guy in the video has AT&T which this phone is compatible with. The chip is able to support T-Mobile frequency but there is no driver to enable it... it just doesn't exist. The only way for this to work is if a dev (or Samsung) makes a driver for us. The other thread has a bounty of over $1000 now and nobody will do it still because it would take to long... so, until something changes, were stuck on edge or we have to move to AT&T. A side note; I bought a gophone sim card and paid the $50 unlimited for a moth and it worked perfectly so you could always just do that... but you can't port your number to a prepaid account.

you cant port a number to prepaid? even if its from another carrier? that sucks
I think you can on Straight Talk. No idea how good or bad the service is though.
I've seen some AT&T customers complain about terrible speeds and latency when doing speed tests. I too had this issue. Before the fix, I was getting about 20 kbps downstream and 400+ latency. After, I'm getting 6+ mbps and 80-120 latency. I fixed mine by adding a new APN with these settings. To change them, go to SETTINGS -> MORE... -> MOBILE NETWORKS -> ACCESS POINT NAMES. From here, either select the existing one or click the menu key to create a new one. Also, if you create a new one, make sure to select it after you're done making it. (you have to tap the radio to select it because tapping the name will edit it but NOT select it).
The blank ones are blank/unspecified. You probably only need to change APN and APN type (the other shown values were already like this on mine). For APN type, those are commas separating the terms. I posted a link to 3 shared screenshots so you can see what it should look like.

Thanks..I honestly didn't think there was a difference between the LTE and non-LTE plans at AT&T. But my dad is in charge of the plan, so maybe I am missing something.
I'm using the same Stock AT&T PTA apn I've used since the Infuse 4g and it works perfect. Stock APN I couldn't even get 20kbps most of the time. Now I can at least get 5.7 (about what I'm used to in my area).

I'm using the pta APN since I came from an LTE phone so my sim is provisioned for it. I usually got about 8-9mbps down in this location when on my sgs3 so if these speeds stick and improve I'm quite happy. Obviously uploads are the biggest hit but not too worried about that

It wouldn't work for me with the default WAP.Cingular APN. As soon as I changed it to the hspa+ one, speed test worked.
For this of you on the pta APN, does your MMS work? If so, do you still have the WAP.Cingular APN in the list (just not checked)? Or is the pta APN the only one listed?
I too have my Sim provisioned for lte, but if I use the pta APN, I get great data speeds, but no MMS. Thanks.

I get faster speeds with the new APN, but I can't get H+ in areas where is was able to get it with my S3. Anyone have a solution?
thanks for this!
Posted this on another similar thread. Worked for me. It's the Cingular.WAP APN but slightly different.
"Anybody still having issues with att H+ speeds try the APN settings from this link
http://nerdynerdnerdz.com/blog/2011/07/23/att-apn-mms-settings-android/
My speed increased by 600% when I switched to this, from barely 1Mbps to 6+Mbps. I also can run the speed test app now whereas before I could not."

I just switched from Verizon to T-Mobile this week with my VS980.
I've been able to get the phone setup and working mostly.
I'm picking up LTE, but it's slowish. Usually only picking up 1 or 2 bars and tot more than 12 mbps down/1 mbps up according to Speedtest, though that might just be my area. I'm in a larger city but still in the Midwest.I can make/receive calls just fine. I can send and receive MOST texts. Some text messages/calls I'm not receiving. Specifically, I have my online bank account setup to require a code which the bank sends via text message or call and my phone does not receive either, even though I'm getting texts/calls from other sources. This is actually kind of a big pain for me and if anyone could help me solve it I would be most appreciative.
I'm running CM 11 nightly. I did flash the 12b radio. I haven't tried the 24A radio yet.
Preferred Network is T-Mobile, although I've had the phone search networks a couple different times and there is always 3 T-Mobile networks listed and I'm really not sure if there is a difference or if there is a specific one I should be selecting since there is no way to differentiate them.
Mobile Network Settings
Data enabled: Checked
Data roaming: Blank
Preferred network type: LTE - Maybe this should be Global? I don't have a Global option: just "LTE (recommended)", 3G, or 2G.

APN type: Not set - It was "default,mms,supl". In the docs/guides I've seen it usually says <Not set OR Internet+MMS. Maybe this is the source of my not receiving texts from my bank? What is the correct setting here?

Update (1
I removed the sim card, started the phone with out it, powered down, and reinserted the sim.
I was just able to create new APN with the below settings (ST website), I did notice that in the beginning with I was using the new APN’s, that the signal bar had 4 – 5 bars, but at no time did the LTE or 4G symbol ever show up at the top.
Sometimes this new APN shows 4 bars, and no LTE?4G, sometimes 2 bars showing, and the LTE/4G symbol is showing. But can't open a single websites, was able to get one short text through, but took a couple of tries.

I’ve been using Straight Talk for about five years, floating back and forth between AT&T, and T-Mobile smart phones.
Normally this is easy as pie, and straight fwd. But so far I used about (5) different T-Mobile APN settings for my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 5, and none of them are working.
I bought this phone off eBay, and it was less than I month old (there’s not mark on it anywhere), and it was listed as “Clean ESN”. I’ve bought several phones used via eBay, and ever had an issue. I checked the phone, and it came back clean.
1. Rather than going on ST website, and activating my new phone, and sim card, I call support. The agent took my sim serial number, and activated it. About 30 minutes later I lost network connectivity with my former S4 phone, so I figure the Note 5 was ready to go. I went with a live person, because I was hoping to do (2) things, register the new phone/sim, and get a new phone number, as moved out of state a couple weeks ago, and want a local number. Agent said I would have to wait until Monday, call back to get a new number.
2. I sent a text to a friend, but it didn’t go, after few minutes it would come back with a fail. After retrying I few times it finally went through. I had the same issue, with trying to call. It will have 4 or 5 bars, you make a call, then it will say “mobile network not available”, and then the signal bars turn into an X
3. After creating the first new APN, and restarted the phone, and after boot, I have 4 – 5 bars, but then it will turn into an X. My phone will sit there with 4 – 5 bars for like ever, then when I send a text it it will start losing bars, and the got a X.
4. I’ve created about 4 or 5 new APN’s, and they all do the same thing, once in a while a text will get through. WiFi works great, can surf the net all day.
