About buying sim card in USA

Hi. I am living in New York.
I am supposed to buy a sim card to make my Gnote available.
I want to choose straight talk sim card, but i can't proceed because i don't know for various options.
this is the link what I am struggling for.
if anyone know about it, please help me.
Thank you.

I would suggest option 2 if you have the international version of the note..
General 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 (region specific)

Hi there,
do you have an unlock Gnote? On that link you got there, you need to choose the 'Unlocked GSM phone' (that is if your using the international GNote).
Basically you got 2 options I can think of on which simcards/carrier your going to opt to use.
1. AT&T
2. T-Mobile
Personally, I'd choose T-mobile's compatible prepaid simcard. Last time I heard from my cuz whose using T-MO, he got a $45 per month unlimited everything and no contract deal. Unlimited means you get unlimited voice minutes,text and HSPA+ data ($45 /month). Data cap is limited to 2GB monthly usage or about 100MB a day.
Only thing you need to contend with if your going to the route of T-mo is that they got intermittent drpped calls (depends on where you at though in NY)

If you have the international Note, you will not be able to use t-mo's 3g band. Voice, sms and 2g/edge will work fine though.
The international Note is fully compatible with the at&t network.

[Q] Which USA MotoX to get for Rogers network

Hi all,
First of all, I am pretty new to android and rooting, unlocking and all, but I am a really technical guy ( programmer of profession) so I am not affraid of the command line if needed so.
Now my question is:
I want a 32Gb MotoX to get on the Fido network ( same as the Rogers Network) in Canada, which of the USA version I need to buy to get full HSPA & LTE, the bands are HSPA:850/900/1900/2100 and LTE:2100/2600.
Also what do I need to do to make it work? do I need to root the device, flash a firmware, unlock ( i guess i'll have to do at least that)?
Thanks so much!
Also a bonus question, what is the difference with a developper edition?

Probably the At&t one

Rogers version of the Moto x is the XT1058, just like the AT&T.

If you want 32gb you will likely be giving up something else. The Rogers phone has 2600 Mhz enabled while technically the AT&T variant does not. It may work as the hardware is there but depending on firmware version it may be disabled. If you buy the AT&T variant you also sacrifice the unlockable bootloader.
If you must have 32gb I'd get the retail/tmobile edition. Then you for certain will not have 2600 mhz LTE access but are able to unlock the bootloader and get 32gb.You will still have band 4 (AWS) LTE access.
If you can live with 16gb then the Rogers version is by far the best Moto X to buy.

Get the T Mobile USA version. It will support your HSPA no problem, but for LTE I don't think it will fully due to the 2600 which the T Mobile version does not have. The T Mobile Moto comes sim unlocked.
Here's the break down for you.
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - all versions
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - for T-Mobile
4G Network LTE 700 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - for T-Mobile
Difference between the Developer edition and the T Mobile one is that unlocking the bootloader on the developer edition does not void your warranty. But doing so on the T Mobile does. Also the AT&T bootloader cannot be unlocked (yet) AFAIK.
Hopefully this helps you.

Activate DUAL SIM on a L09 Mate S?

Hi guys.
I was looking to know if someone knows if it's possible to activate the dual sim feature on a L09 Mate S...
I was given one, it's awesome but I do need it to be dual sim!
I kind of hope that I won't have to sell it...
A guy said here on XDA that he was able to turn a L09 into a UL00, but he doesn't know if it has dual sim capability because the Sims tray are not ready to have the second nano sim.
Any help???

I don't think that it is that clear...
It's well known that the hardware is the same on both models.
The L09 model has a piece for the nano sim and the microSD card. The UL00 has a piece that allows a nano sim + microSD or a nano sim + nano sim.
I believe that, if both models are able to become one another (L09 turns to UL00 or UL00 turn into L09) maybe it's possible to have dual sim, by having the proper piece to insert 2 nano sims.
I hope my english was clear enough

Hi, I would like to bring this question up again. If anyone has any updates on the topic please share.
Regarding sim slots... my friend bought huawei honor 7 which support 2sims or 1sim + sdcard on your choice. It means you can decide on your own what you need more.
Metal frame for holding two sim is only one.
To be more specific if you want two sim cards you have to put one nano sim and second sim which goes to the sdcard place is micro sim.
So I am thinking maybe it same story for our phone.

Well yes. That is how it works for the dual sim version of the Mate S.

My experience was I converted to UL00 however no options appeared in the settings that related to dual SIM.
This may be because my SIM frame wasn't capable of taking the shape of 2 SIMs so I was never able to get the 2nd SIM in..I really don't know if it would of worked.

buying a dual sim slider could work?

SM-N950N

Hello people.
I’m here to ask you some stuff. I’m about to buy a Note 8, because sadly my beloved Note 4 got stolen (It was time for a replacement, either way)
So, I found the model SM-N950N which is form Korea and has 256 gb of internal storage.
I read a lot this few days about this model, but I wanted to ask you some questions because there are certain things I’m not sure about.
1) It is necessary to use the phone with a Korean SIM card to unlock it, or I just put my SIM from Argentina? (I already check the bands and in theory it should work)
2) The updates are going to be affected because the phone doesn’t have a Korean SIM?
3) In my country, Samsung Pay isn’t available. But according to what I read, this feature only works in Korea. Is it posible to change that without triggering Samsung Knox?
4) I read somewhere this phones doesn’t include google services (This model, or SM-N9500, I’m no sure). If so, Is it difficult to make them work??
I know other possibility I have is the model from HK, SM-N9500, but I would like to use an exynos variant.
According to your answers I’ll decide if it is worth it to buy this model, or but the local one and be happy with 64 gb.
This is new territory to me, so be patient!!
Thank you in advance! Probably other questions will arise and I’ll add them in this thread.

1. no, just use it. Korean models don't have any SIM or carrier locks, or regional SIM activation requirement
2.. SIM is unrelated to updates - as long as it is unmodified it will still get updates
3. you will want to search more about this but no you won't be able to use it in your country
4. it does include them, not sure where you read that.

Thank you for your answer!! @Kalm_Traveler As I say before, I check and this model has all the necessary bands for 3G and 4G in my country. But at in some sites it says it is 2G quad band, and other than it only has bands 900, 1800 and 1900, when in my country we use 850 too.
Is FrecuencyCheck a reliable source? Thank you!!!

Frequency check is not a reliable source as far as I'm concerned.
Back in January I was researching the Samsung Tab S2 international models. One model was the SM-T819N and the other SM-T819Y which I bought in the end. They listed one less band on their website for the 819Y model.
Luckily for me, I used Samsung's own website to check the bands before I purchased it. In my case I checked Samsung Singapore website to see it's tech specs .
So you should check the frequency by visiting Samsung's Korea website and not rely on Frequency Check.

Question OnePlus 10 Pro unlocked dual sim on T-Mobile USA

Hi folks,
I am looking to buy a OP10Pro dual sim unlocked device which would support all 4G/5G bands in USA, specifically T-mobile. I looked at some options available on Amazon or other websites similar to this listing - https://www.wirelessplace.com/produ...ernational-version-new?variant=42835975471274
Looks like these devices do not support all the 4G/5G bands similar to the official OP10Pro that T-mobile offers.
Does this option exist at all currently?
I am basically looking for an unlocked dual sim T-mobile variant.
Thanks

The "T-Mobile" variant is just the North American version (NE2215). I use it on T-Mobile and works great.
As for the Euro and Indian dual sim versions should work fine.

The 10 Pro doesn't support mmwave at all. The only thing different with the T-Mobile version is it has an IP-68 rating because T-mobile paid to get it for the ones that they sell. Essentially the NE2217 (TMO-US) is the same as the NE2215 except for branding and a certification.

I found this on OnePlus community forums.
NE2210 China
NE2211 India
NE2215 Global, IN
NE2213 Europe
NE2217 T-Mobile
Let me put it this way - Is there any dual sim model which supports all the T-Mobile bands including the mmWave similar to NE2217?
In other words, I am looking for a dual sim NE2217 model.
Thanks

This is mostly correct, the NE2215 is the North American hardware. OnePlus has really fragmented this phone's versions. Basically NE2210, NE2213 and NE2215 are all used for the "Global ROM" or International variant.

No because the mmWave feature of the X65 modem was never included with any 10 Pro. Also technically the NE2215 and NE2217 have actual dual sim slots, the SIM tray carrier is modified to prevent dual sim use. I'd also wouldn't be surprised if they never programmed a second IMEI for these variants.

Damn. It's getting impossible to stick with OnePlus. They not only botched the software but also removed the dual sim and not providing esim support.
I really do not know what device to buy next. My OnePlus 7 pro won't live forever.

I have, the phone has no 6GHz+ capabilities, the X65 has an addon module for mmWave and at no point in any OnePlus or T-Mobile marketing does it say that its mmWave capable. Multiple articles online also back this up. I purposely got a Pixel 6 Pro before I got this phone because it was marketed as a mmWave capable phone, but switched to the 10 Pro for other reasons. Also TMO-US doesn't clearly describe what bands are mmWave, but they include them in their 5G UC labeling. The only 5G UC band I ever get is n71 which isn't even near mmWave frequencies.
I really hope that the 10 Pro has the mmWave addon module and it just hasn't been enabeled yet by OnePlus, but everything I've read seems to point to no.

Ok. If I have to get a dual sim model which would support most of 4G/5G bands on TMobile, which one should I go for?
Any links to the model/store would be appreciated.
Also, will just swapping out the single sim tray with a dual sim tray on an unlocked T-Mobile variant do the trick?

i don't know, my 8Pro SIM tray is slightly too tall,

The European model supports T-Mobile bands and dual sim, but is not certified by Verizon or ATT so I don't think a Verizon sim will work.
An unlocked Pixel 6 Pro would be good for what you want as it supports and is certified on all carriers all bands in North America and around the world.

I have got US model 2215, it has single sim. I bought dual sim tray and the second sim contacts are visible inside the phone. i believe this model can be converted to DUAL SIM.
My question is how can I flash EU or IN firmware on US model?
THanks

I have installed Indian ROM into my US 10 Pro (single sim).
Got a dual sim tray from china for this.
now i rooted and enabled dual sim in build.prop. I can see dual sim in settings but second sim has null imei. second sim is not working yet.

Does the NE2213 version with global rom have t-mobile wifi calling and volte?

No, i tried everything but no success. I quit. But the last hope is the custom rom. Maybe you could try that. I don't have the device now.

I have to stay on the official rom, so no luck form me.
Thanks anyway !!
