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 is the model number of the AT&T S5? And what is the international version number? Does anyone know the difference? (example : the s4 is a SGH-i337 and the International is GT-I9505) they had the same hardware. Is this true in the s5 too?
Basically I want an unlocked version but the same hardware as the AT&T.

It will NOT get AT&T LTE unless you buy the T-Mobile version. Just FYI.
Hmm OK so a Tmobile and then Sim unlock it huh? Not afraid of doing it, just want to make sure. I bought a GT-I9305 and found out the same thing, had to sell it and get a GT-I9300. The S4 ATT just happens to be the same as the GT-I9505 but has locked bootloader. Looking to buy out if contract for the S5.

Yes. They will probably charge you more than the $660 on their site. Be prepared to pay over $700.
Cool thanks, that's about what I paid for the GT-I9300 at that time.

I bought a T-Mobile phone for $660 in a company store and bought an unlock code online, took 30 minutes to get it. Works like a charm on AT&T. Rooting and installing a custom recovery takes a couple of minutes, and all the international ROMs I've tried so far work fine.

When I purchased the T-Mobile Note 3 and used it on AT&T, I found my LTE signal to be extremely weak. It would often switch down to H+ when AT&T branded devices would maintain a solid signal.
While the G900T (T-Mo version) supports band 17 for LTE, it is not optimized for this frequency. Performance will be better on the AT&T variant.
So, are they all G900's? It's just the T, or F, or A etc. afterwards that distinguishes it?

Did you have to buy the new special Sim card? Also if you wouldn't mind, can you PM me the site you got the unlock code from?

No, I'm using the same SIM card I used in my S4. I forgot the name of the site, it was cellf something.
Well, as it has been with just about every phone prior to and since S2, ATT/TMO/etc US carrier put that crappy LTE supporting chipset instead of the glorious international guts. So IMO, if you're gonna pay full ~700, you might as well get the unadulterated phone off the bat.
International has 2x quad core cpus, our stateside retards all have same old single quad snapdragons.

So far I've had really good LTE signals. Seems at least as good if not better than my AT&T S4.

Yes but what model is that? That was my whole point in this thread. What international model is most similar to the ATT? (like I said before, the S4 GT-I9505 is the international version of S4 SGH-i337)

OK so I found this on Sam Mobile.
Here’s the list of model numbers of the SM-G900, or the Galaxy S5:
- SM-G9006V_CHN_CHN (China)
-*SM-G9008V_CHN_ZM (China)
-*SM-G9009D_CHN_CTC (China)
-*SM-G900A_NA_ATT (AT&T)
-*SM-G900D_JPN_DCM (Japan)
-*SM-G900F_EUR_XX (Open Europe)
-*SM-G900H_EUR_XX (Open Europe)
-*SM-G900I_SEA_XSA (Asia)
-*SM-G900J_JPN_KDI (Japan)
-*SM-G900K_KOR_KTC (Korea)
- SM-G900L_KOR_LGC (Korea)
-*SM-G900M_LA_VF (Vodafone)
-*SM-G900P_NA_SPR (Sprint)
-*SM-G900R4_NA_USC (US Cellular)
-*SM-G900S_KOR_SKC (Korea)
-*SM-G900T_NA_TMB (T-Mobile)
-*SM-G900V_NA_VZW (Verizon)
-*SM-G900W8_NA_BMC (BMC)
Now I just need to find the right international one to match the AT&T

SM-G900H is the only true model. All others ones are potentially/definitely crippled just like ATT one from what I gather via GSMArena.
9505 was the crappier version of the S4, vs the true 9500.

So? Better hardware and overall performance vs a bit faster Facebook on the go?
Well I just like to match the hardware closer to what I would get here at the store, but just get it unlocked. I have the AT&T S2, the international S3 GT-I9300, the AT&T S4, and now looking to get the international S5. I buy in contract when my upgrade is available, then the international in between.

Don't care really about how Fb loads or not. I like to have the options whether they work or not, thus case being LTE

Shouldn't really be much debate on the international version vs at&t's model. Only thing you would loose is LTE. The international model is fully compatible with AT&T's HSPA+ network. No one seems to give that a thought anymore. Fact is - it performs the best it ever has. Very easy to achieve 9-10mbps down, which is more than efficient for anything.
All,
on my Note 3 I can talk and use data at the same time. I thought I had read somewhere that the Nexus 6 would do the same. But it seems that it will not.
I am wrong?
Thanks Dave
I am on AT&T and I have used DAT and a phone call at the same time. This has more to do with your carrier and not the actual device.

Oems have made all phones that are sprint spark capable with only one pathway from modem. ..last phone on sprint that can do svlte is note 3 ...vzw is the same
Unfortunately it doesn't work on this phone =/

The Nexus 6 will not do simultaneous voice and data on Sprint or Verizon. (Although on Verizon it should be possible in some areas when VoLTE starts rolling out, not 100% sure with Sprint.)
Same with sprint they are rolling out volte sometime 2015+
Thanks for the response.

That's why T-Mobile is winning more customers and Sprint is sending techs to your house to help you set up your phone. Priorities. ???
Hello, does anyone know how to add Bands to the Nexus 6 for Verizon. Or if there are any new radios out there for Verizon to we can use Data while on the phone. Right now its not working.
The only band that works on the phone is Cellular (800-MHZ)
There is no voice and data until volte is enabled on the phone.... And is presumably in their system once they start selling it. There are several threads regarding this.
XT1103 has bands for all 4 main US carriers. I just got my Nexus 6 on Verizon last night using the sim from my Verizon moto x 2013.

Where did you purchase your nexus 6? The hardware has all radios necessary for nearly all US carriers, including Verizon.

Sorry I dunno. You got duped I guess. No I really dont know why that is all you have.
Was your sim for Verizon previously activated before inserting into the n6?

Ok so i tried a different rom (Chroma) and now I have different radios available. Which is pretty funny.
