[Q] Rogers Note 3 - Moving from Canada to US - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I will be transferring from Canada to Tacoma, WA in the next few months and am seeking some advice on what to do with my wife's Rogers Wireless Note 3 (SM-N900W8). She recently used Roger's hardware upgrade program to get the phone and really likes it. If I unlock her phone, will it work on a US carrier? What carriers do you recommend?
Also, if anyone has cable/internet suggestions for the Tacoma / JBLM area they would be appreciated.
Thanks!

It should work fine on T-Mobile or AT&T. Personally I use AT&T but I was on T-Mobile for years.

Thanks, I was hoping to go with Verizon based on their coverage in Washington, but it looks like AT&T would work as well.

Well, Verizon is a CDMA Carrier. They only use a SIM card for LTE connectivity.
Is your phone capable of CDMA and GSM?

AT&T or T-Mobile Forum?

Hi, I bought an unlocked T-Mobile Samsung Note 3 and use it on the Telus network. Traditionally, Canadian users follow the AT&T forums because the phones are compatible with AT&T. In my situation, I have a T-Mobile phone on Telus. Can anyone tell me which forum I belong to for custom roms, AT&T or T-Mobile?
You belong in T mobile

Z1s Bands

Will the Z1s work on AT&T? LTE etc..? Or is it stuck on T-Mobile.

I think T-Mobile and AT&T LTE are the same bands, but I may be wrong.
Do we know whether Z1s has physically less bands or is it just a software lock due to licensing costs?

AT&T Note 3 to T Mobile

Okay so I have an AT&T Note 3. And Im tired of dealing with AT&T haha. Too pricey. Is there any way I can use mine on T Mobiles network? Fixing to order a sim card from them. Will it work?

You have to obtain a SIM unlock code. You can either call at&t if your the original owner and get one for free. I go overseas a lot so they gave it to me. Or you can obtain one for a price online.
If the phone is or gets blacklisted, it won't work on at&t or tmobile anymore.
It will work. I did it.
However, the service is not as good as a full blown T-Mobile phone and there will be no wifi calling. I am debatig on selling this and buying the T-Mobile brand phone...
If you do not care about wifi calling you can install the T-Mobile Rom on the ATT Note 3. I did and the phone service was much better.

It is fairly straightforward. Was easy to install.
Once I installed the TMO os on the phone it WORKED BETTER. Again, I cannot wifi call but adding the tmo carrier option via the Modificatinator helped a lot and it FIXED THE GPS issue. It's obvious the GPS issue is ATT related. Was not easy adding the additional TMO carrier options on the Modificatinator but once figured it was cake.
Yep and then some
It will most certainly work on T-Mobile if you ended your contract/relationship with ATT legally/appropriately. Visit - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485441 for some really important information while switching. There are changes to build.prop that can improve 4G speed , reception , etc.
Okay so I unlocked my phone. Im using t mobile now. But 4G doesnt work. Any way I can get it to work?

sometimes its the sim card, i unlocked my freinds note 2 and tried hours getting 4g LTE on it, and then i popped in MY sim card, and the 4g lte worked. so she went out and got a new sim card and now she has 4g LTE.
Dang that sucks haha.

Carrier locked?

This may be a silly question, but does Verizon carrier lock their Nexus 6 phones? I thought I read AT&T does but don't know if Verizon does this as well or not.
