Hello Everyone, I am looking at getting a note 8. I have T-mobile and am wondering if I can use any 950 and put T-mobile software on it and be able to use all the T-mobile features. I ask because I have a note 4 that was Verizon I could use it on T-mobile but was unable to use the hotspot since it always tried to activate the Verizon hotspot. I had to get a T-mobile board for it to use it. I don't want to get the wrong 950 any input would be appreciated
Yes.

You won't need to flash T-Mo firmware. They're all the same firmware. It will automatically provision for whichever SIM you put in it.

Hi I want to send my GF, in the USA an unlocked international note. I day it will work on at&t, the guy in the shop says no. It's the N7000
Thx
From box 13......
It will work as long as it supports the frequencies.At&t is gsm so it should be compatible. Just check if the frequencies are supported.
P.S.: remove the comma after gf
I have an unlocked German gt n7000 I got from amazon. I am in los Angeles. It works perfectly on at&t. Just download at&t messages app from the web and side load it, and you will get visual voicemail for free too. You must use the WAP.Cingular apn
There is a thread here about it. Search.

If it is truly unlocked it will work

Works great. Lots of people using ATT's network either natively or through straight talk.
Does one need to unlock the Tmobile version to get it to work on other carriers including verizon or sprint?

You have to unlock to use the tmobile note 4 on att.
Pretty sure you can't use it on verizon or sprint.

It works on smaller carriers however like cricket, etc.
Just wondering is all, thanks

As long as you own the phone. (not financed), T-Mobile is required to give you the "unnlock" code for your SIM at no charge. The little stipulation in this is that you have to have owned it for 40 days (I believe).
Cricket is an excellent option btw. :good:
Hey all,
I recently picked up a Note 5 for the Wisconsin carrier Cellcom as their network is great up here. However, unlike pretty much every Note 5 I've seen (including the US Cellular Note 5 which has the same model number), the option to put the phone in "global" mode is missing. I popped an AT&T SIM in it and it didn't give me any issues about unlocking the device, but It looks like global mode is hidden. Anyone know of a way to enable it? Thanks!
Did the phone work on At&t once you put the sim card in? It's supposed to be international for phones using the CDMA bandwidths. For GSM bandwidths you'd have to use the one that ends with an I. The Australian version. I do have a question though. I am trying to see if that phone is allowed to work on Verizon's network. Do you think you could PM me the phones ESN or MEID so I can ask Verizon before I buy the phone? I really want to be able to root it but still have Verizon.
---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------
Or you can check for me. Just follow this link and put in the ESN or the other to see if it would be allowed to work on Verizon. As far as I know the only one Verizon says no too is Sprint. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Made my first call with the missus, and I noticed that the call quality was awful. It's hard to get used to again after using my Pixel 2 XL and enjoying the call quality with HD voice that came with it.
I checked settings, and I can't seem to find anything that would turn on HD voice with AT&T. Also, I bought this device unlocked from Sammy.
Any pointers?
It's due to not running carrier firmware. You can't use WiFi calling (AKA HD voice) without it. Same with VoLTE Anand I believe video calls.

If you must have HD voice, return the unlocked Note and order the AT&T version. You will also get Wi-Fi calling if you buy the AT&T phone.
I've the same situation whit my previous note 8, been past many hours finding a way, and finally found it. You can change the CSC for your carrier, whit the *#243203855#. You must do the two install given when you click install. The phone will be factory restore and then, you'll have AT&T firmware and can use the VOLTE and VoWifi, if AT&T support it on the Note 9, and you have the Volte option provisionned in your account. For me, this has worked very well.
Hmm. I wonder why my Pixel 2 XL had HD Voice and I bought that unlocked.
Will this block tethering?

Do you know if this wil affect the use of tethering? We are currently under at&t's unlimited plan which doesn't include tethering and got the unlocked variant so we could use it for free.

For me, i can use thetering without any issues.
You could also flash the AT&T firmware with modded or patched ODIN to achieve the same result with the dialer code.

call quality sucks
even reception is not as strong as with a ATT branded phone (galaxy s8, iphone7, iphone 6plus).

Looking to see if somebody can help me with my issue which is I can no longer get RCS activated in messages, its not even an option to activate "chat feature not available for this device / you carrier does not currently support this feature." I came from op 6t where it worked just fine going all the way back where there was a manual option to activate it. When I to the pixel it worked than as I was unenrolling from beta messages it got screwed up. Talked to google whom said talk to att whom were completely clueless to what RCS is. There is a ticket out there with next level IT so we will see but am wondering if there something I should do or somebody that I should escolate to. BTW went back to 6th and no luck either.

I'm in the same boat... I've tried all of the troubleshooting tricks...no avail... I've had my phone for more than 8 days as well.

Same here, which is totally bs, as my lg-v30 could deal with rcs just fine on att.

Found the answer. You need a new sim from AT&T. There is an issue with the 5g sim cards that came with the Pixel 5's so have AT&T send you a new one or get a newer one from the store. Not sure how to tell if the new sim card is the right one though.

Good to hear.
I just got a replacement Pixel 5 today as my original phone's proximity sensor was defective. This one was shipped by AT&T vs from a store. On this phone RCS works with the sim it came with.
You can trick it by putting someone else's sim card into your phone from a different carrier. Activate RCS with the alternate sim card in your phone. Then switch back to your sim card.
having the same issue on my Samsung Note 10+, it was okay two weeks ago but now it doesnt work anymore on both samsung messages and google messages
