Could someone tell me which one would work on an ATT network? Kinda confused cause I think the HTC one has different frequency bands depending on what country you are in. I would like a international one cause I have to travel overseas alot. Would the handtec one work? Thanks.

It only has to work on GSM networks to be an "international" phone
Handtec works

Thanks for the replies. Do any of you know what speed I would get? LTE? 4G? Thanks.
If it isn't a US region One, you will only get HSPA+ at best.

I am looking to buy S since I heard that it works on 5.99 Tzones plans, so I think I found the best price at MCO, but it doesn't seem to list AWS in the specs. Does anyone know if they have a different version then others that sell for over $500? I just want to make sure I'll get the one that supports TMO 3g.

No one knows if the phone supports TMO 3G?
i bought mine from ebay. make sure you get the s710e model. that's the one with tmobile bands
What's the other model?
I believe the one you are looking at is the correct one that supports Tmobile 3G/4G bands. The other model which supports AT&T 3G/4G bands is the one that is sold in Canada.

The other model is S710A. You want to make sure you get model number S710E.

What companies does the international galaxy note work with in the u.s?....
T-Mobile and Straight Talk are the main two.

To be honest, any GSM carrier. There's really only two GSM carriers, T-Mobile and At&t. Since the GT-N7000 is unlocked for the two, almost any sim will give you service. Stick with straight talk if you wanna keep it cheap. $15 Sim, and $45 unlimited everything.

And how is your 3g ?? I see there is some problems with 3g on T-Mobile. Please response.

as has been posted many times on here and in the 3/4g tmo dev radio thread youre not going to get 3/4g unless you live in an area that tmo is using the 1900 frequency and thats out in the northwest... n7000 = 850/1900 freq tmo = 1700/2100 (except a Very select few areas that they use the 1900
as for the quick answer for anyone still wondering what carrier... any that uses the 850/1900 freq... the 1700/2100 ones are out of luck until bedwa or another dev finds a radio to flash to make it work...
well if any one is still looking to get a gnote on t-mobile, maybe you should wait.....the word is it coming out officially on tmobile.....no more hassles on making everything work on tmobile....lol....but its weird...now that i can get it for tmobile in a couple of months.....i want it on verizon/sprint cdma network....lol...does anybody know if its coming out on a cdma network?.....ive read about it coming out on cdma as the galaxy journal but when?...or the real question is....is it coming out on cdma at all?....lol..
This is correct, but woefully incomplete.
TMO is limited to EDGE with the Note given incompatible 3G wireless bands, so while it will "work", it will be a dog on data.
The only practical carriers for the Note in the USA are Straightalk and ATT

Ofcourse it will work, if its unlocked that is.
since T-Mobile is refarming to 1900, some major cities get 3G
in Boston area i only get 2G/EDGE

I had to make sure, I was looking at T mobile frequencies and O4X frequencies they match up but I had to get another person feedback. Thanks tho!
Also, your only getting 2G/EDGE in Boston? I figure you would atleast get 3G in a city like that.

My knowing was that international phones won't work with TMobile USA other than edge but on att just fine.

I used it with AT&T in UMTS in the west coast states. The quality and availability of UMTS by AT&T is okay.
T Mobile isn't working in UMTS because of the frequency band which doesn't work with this phone, but GSM will work.
I am using it on Att prepaid. Works great.

At my second job my company is sending me a Sprint HTC one to use as my work phone and they want me to activate it on my Sprint account or they'll pay the deposit to open the account if there's one. But where I live I don't good coverage from them and there 3G is SUPER SLOW, I can't really stand the sucky service in my area. I Have T-Mobile and have good coverage where ever I go and was wondering if the sim tray in the Sprint Htc one is Unlocked so I can just activate with my T-Mobile account and pop in a T-Mobile SIM card. If any one can please confirm this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
No

I'm 99% sure it's a no. T-Mobile uses different radios from Sprint, I think AT&T and T-Mobile use the same radios, which is why you can use unlocked AT&T phones on T-Mobile.

It says the HTC one has been modified for sprint and it doesn't confirm that the phone supposes gsm on the sheet it only specifies CDMA and lte frequencies

According to some Sprint forums it is a world phone. It just isn't unlocked.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
A world phone can have many different interpretations such as using a gsm network somewhere else or just roaming outside the us and we can all roam outside the us such as mexico which is domestic roaming and I think that is also considered a world phone since ur using it somewhere else
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
In the OP's case, a discussion as to whether the phone is SIM locked or unlocked on the One is completely moot because the Sprint variant of the device does not possess the GSM or UMTS/WCDMA frequency bands needed to operate in most of the Americas, including the United States. It only does GSM 900/1800 and UMTS 2100. In other words, even if it was unlocked for other companies' US GSM or UMTS SIM cards it wouldn't be able to get any signal in the US, or for that matter, anywhere in most of North, Central, or South America or in other parts of the world where the GSM or UMTS 850 or 1900 MHz bands are used.

According to this article, which I have linked several times on here in response to this question, the ONE on Sprint most likely has GSM 900/1800mhz capability. Which is the GSM most all of the world uses except for the US. That is why it is a "World Phone."

Partially true since this does not only apply to the US specifically. See my post right before yours.

Fixed that for you. You could not use it in the US.
but even by flashing a customized firmware once the phone has been rooted the phone is unable to manage others sim cards?
is there any change to remove the sim lock somehow?

Even if it was sim unlocked it wont work. Its a hardware limitation, not a software one. It cant run on the frequencies that North America uses for GSM.
It does run frequencies that we run here in the us. It supports 1900 and 2100 utms. 850 and 900 gsm. Both are used here in the us by at&t and t-mobile.

Isnt it hardware limited to a point where it cant operate on a 3g/hspa gsm data network? i.e. if you do sim unlock and take it to a gsm carrier you will not get anything over 2g/edge speed?
Hi all
Have just bought a moto x off of someone. They've told me it's a us import. As of yet I cannot seem to get a lte signal on the ee network in the Uk and I'm worried I've bought something that isn't going to get lte in this country (my fault should have checked first)
Does anyone know if it's possible to root and install a new firmware so that it sees the lte band here in the Uk. (1800 I think)
Please tell me I haven't made a massive mistake buying this.
Cheers
CJ

There is no chance of adding 1800mhz LTE, the needed hardware is not present in an XT1058. It does have band 7 LTE though(2600Mhz) if you have a provider that uses that.
