SIM compatability?

Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. I have a Touch Diamond from Australia and am traveling to the US for a month. I have looked into the International Roaming rates, and like anythin from Telstra in Australia, they are excessivley overpriced. My question is can i get a prepaid phone/data SIM in the US and if so, can I place it into my HTC and use? I'm guessing yes, but am unsure.
Thanks guys, sorry if it is a repost of a question already asked.
Cheers

SM-N910U Region Locked?

I'm considering getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910U from Hong Kong and was wondering if Samsung has started Region Locking their devices in Hong Kong since they have started doing this in Europe and America?
Do I have to activate with a Hong Kong SIM card before I can use it anywhere else in the world?
Any help would be most appreciated.

I live in HK and bought mine here. Use it regularly with Japanese, French and US SIM cards without any issues. You should be fine.

Excellent, so I don't have to go through any device activation process with it.

I also have the hong kong version and I have used it in the USA and Colombia without any issue.

That's excellent thanks for the advice guys! I will let you know what I think of the device once I get it!

No lock, but be aware that in the UK you will be limited with the supported bands - for 4G you may have to go with EE or... Three? I forget now, it's been 6 months or so since I got mine.
Have a look at the supported bands, and compare to your UK supplier - I moved away from Vodafone for this exact reason.

I'm on a O2 Pay As You Go SIM , which from my research should work fine on the SM-N910U.

I'm on Rogers in Canada and my N910U works just fine. Although I seem to have constant ****ty cellphone reception that my s4 doesn't seem to have, both are on Rogers.

AFAICT O2 use 800 for 4G and 1800 for 2G, so you'll miss out on 4G if you use the N910U on O2 in the UK.
I could well be wrong, but that's what 5 minutes of googling told me.

I appreciate the info with regards to O2 and the Note 4 N910U. I did my homework too before reaching my decision If I do decide to get 4G I will switch to another network. But 2G will do me just fine for now as O2 has allot of free WiFi hotspots in the UK.

:good: Fair play, just so you know about the 4G bands - which you're well aware of

I do have another question with regards to cell reception on the Note 4. I've read a few comments from other Note 4 Users that they have experienced some cell reception problems. Has that happened to anybody else?

LTE in Germany

Hello,
I've just bought me the Note 5 from a seller in England. Today the phone arrived to me. I live in Germany, so i bought the international version of the Note 5 (SM-N920i).
My Problem is that i only get an edge-connection. At 3G or 4G/LTE i've got no connection. Is there any solution for this?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english

What LTE bands does your carrier use? Have you tried contacting your carrier to make sure LTE is enabled for that phone? When I switch to my Sony I have to get with my carrier to enable LTE on that phone.

Hello,
I live in Germany too, and I have the 920C variant of the phone. I don't have any issues with Vodafone and I'm having 4g with no problems at all!
Tapatalked with my Note 5

Hello, thank you much for your answers. I forgot to answer here, but the seller has send me a list which shows the frequency supported by the hardware of the 920i.
B20 (800Mhz, which is most used frequency in Germany and also the one which i need) was not supported by it.
But finally i also got the N920c. Now everything works fine

will Tencent version work on these countries Networks?

HI, Can you help me to find out whether the Tencent version supports networks in Canada and Middle east - Lebanon (work travel) ?
I don't know where to look and how to compare, if you can guide me or help me finding out before I decide to make the purchase since the global version is too expensive for me.
Thank you!

I don't know about Lebanon, but it's working with me here in Egypt just fine on the "Etisalat" 4G network, hope that helps
