Galaxy Tab S2 for phone (voice) & Texts - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What models of the Galaxy Tab S2 will have the voice phone calling, SMS, MMS capabilities?
I'm mainly interested in the 7-8" versions. Also not overly concerned about LTE bands mis-match.
Thanks

Guess I'll start my own list, so far I have:
SM-T705
SM-T713
SM-T715
SM-T715N - matches T-Mobile LTE bands except 1 band
SM-T715C
SM-T715Y - matches T-Mobile LTE bands except 1 band
SM-T719
SM-T815 and FCC A3LS MT 815.

t mobile samsung galaxy s8 + (plus) doesn't run 4g lte from at&t?

Hi every one i got a s8+ from t mobile i switch to at&t and my s8+ is not running the 4g lte of at&t i verified the APN and nothing i called at&t and they say the phone is not compatible with their 4g lte. What can i do?
To my knowledge, and others may chime in differently, the LTE bands are not compatible between ATT and T-Mobile. It would work in reverse, that is taking an ATT phone to T-Mobile, but not the other way around.

This info is from T-Mobile's website: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-34266
Network
4G LTE: 2, 4, 12, 66
3G / 4G (HSPA / UMTS / HSPA+): Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850)
2G (GSM, GPRS, and EDGE): 850, 900, 1800, 1900
The hardware is EXACTLY the same. There is absolutely no difference between a T-Mobile S8 and an ATT S8. The only difference is the firmware. And you can install the ATT firmware on your S8, or even better install the Unlocked XAA firmware.

Does US Unlocked Phones (Galaxy S8 and Note 8) Support 4G TDD LTE Bands?

I am interested in buying US version (Snapdragon) of factory unlocked Note 8. However, it's full specs on network/radio bands are not listed yet even on Samsung official site.
I looked in full specs for Galaxy S8 unlocked (SM-G950UZKAXAA) vs carrier version such as Galaxy S8 for T-mobile (SM-G950UZKATMB), and noticed that carrier versions all listed support for 4G TDD LTE: B38(2600),B39(1900),B40(2300),B41(2500), while unlocked version does not. As the screenshots show.
So will Note 8 unlocked (Snapdradon) also be missing the 4G TDD LTE bands (B38, B39, B40, B41)?
Or maybe the specs listed on Samsung official site are not accurate and unlocked also supports those bands? Wishful thinking.
4G TDD LTE is used in some countries like China. So anyone with unlocked S8 on tmobile traveled to China can confirm if 4G data worked in China with t-mobile SIM?
If the unlocked phone only has the benefit to switch carriers in US but has limited band support internationally, then I will have to think twice.
Yeah I was trying to figure this out as well. So far, from other sites, I have seen mix messages. One site FrequencyCheck.com states that it does have those bands and other show them is missing...not sure which one is correct. Also, for other sites I have seen that the T-Mobile version also has 3G TD-SCDMA: B34(2010), B39(1880) and the unlocked version has 3G CDMA: 800/1900. I really can not make heads or tails of this information....is it correct, who is wrong??? I called Samsung that they don't have the information yet, so I don't know either way. I'm leaning to go with the Unlocked by Samsung version, but I am in the same boat with regards to this matter.
Looks like it, i have a Unlocked verdion of the phone.

Go to Samsung dot com and under the U1 model click specifications. All radios and bands will be shown on manufactures website.

It has all the bands required, including Band 71. However on the U1 Firmware I have had a hard getting to hold the signal. It will roam then drop a weak signal and you'll get a notification that you're no longer connected to the mobile network.
Flashing the U carrier firmware cures the problem, for me at least. The problem was worse for me on the unlocked Pie firmware than on Oreo.
Try this procedure

"Ok. Perhaps your Note 9 is preferring band 12 LTE which is slower and usually more congested if too many people are also connected to it. Your Note 5 may be preferring band 2 or 4 LTE hence an increase in speed. On your Note 9, go to the dialer and type *#0011# 6th line down from the top there should be a number next to "band" what is it? We can also try disabling band 12 by dialing *#2263#, to to LTE band preference > Next page > tap on LTE b12 to deselect it. tap the 3 dot menu button (upper right) tap "back" (repeat) until youi're at the main screen, "apply band configuration". Retest data speeds.
If this doesn't help, then you're likely experiencing congestion in your area. Re-enable band 12 by selecting "apply all bands" and apply."
I had similar issues and tried this and got faster internet speeds. I had to disable band 2. Got this procedure from the internet.
