Is there an Exynos variant that works on Verizon?
Technically their LTE maybe if the bands are supported but they don't have CDMA modems so if you had to drop out of LTE at all you would lose all cell connectivity.

I am looking into this question of the att note getting lte speeds on t-mobile once their lte is launched on the 1700 aws band -- after t-mobile refarms their 3g/4g to the 1900 band they won from att in the buy out fiasco.
The att i717 note uses the 700/1700 bands for lte on att service.
The tmobile note uses the 1700 band for wcdma (hspa 42?) - not lte on tmo's service.
When all is said and done, will the att note running on tmobile's network get the lte speeds on the reconfigured 1700 band?? :fingers-crossed:
Sounds logical, but my logic does not match my technical knowledge, which is not so great.:silly:
So I am on the Bell Network in Canada and my question really boils down to how many bands does a phone need to connect to a network. I can buy the unlocked EU variant and it has LTE 800/1800/2600 while bell uses 1700/2100/2600. Since both have 2600MHz can I get LTE conectivity on Bell from the international Variant?
When a network operator says it supports band
800/1800/2600
it only means they have cell towers that can emit those frequency bands. Depending on the network operator infrastructure. If you only have 2600 band supported it could either mean you'll get LTE coverage anywhere or it could also mean only a number of cell towers can support it which would mean you'll get LTE on some areas and other areas won't.
I just got an unlocked code for my samsung galaxy note 4 t-mobile and I'm wondering if I could use it on verizon network?
No
Voice frequency share the 1900mhz band, 3G share the 1900mhz band, 4G share the 1700/2100mhz band, and 4G LTE are compatible bands as per: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies so I don't see why not? I have put Verizon 4G LTE devices onto T-Mobile's carrier before via APN settings so I don't see how its not backwards compatible?
did you try it?

verizon by default does voice over CDMA. you do not have a CDMA radio. end.
...... This question is still being asked lol phun knee
Sent from my: SM-N910T / SQC100-4 with Tapatalk : PIN 2BFBBCE3: T-Mobile 4G LTE
Based on the specifications, it has GSM bands used by both, however SM-N920R4 is US Cellular CDMA...

Just from looking at the specs for this specific device it appears that it will work on all of T-Mobile's LTE bands but it is missing LTE band 17 support for AT&T. The 2G and 3G bands will work just fine as they match the specs for the N920T/N920A from both carriers. The only thing I am not certain of at this time is if you will have to have the device unlocked to be used with another carrier. Were you using this device on US Cellular or did you just pick this device up recently and want to use it with AT&T or TMO?
Ok thanks, the deal never went through
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.
