that's it they lost my business
damn Telus wasted me 2 weeks waiting for nothing
idiots at Telus don't want to sell the phone without a contract
bestbuy canada don't have them in stock, even though the website said they do.
checked 2 store already that shows, and still shows it has stock
most likely i'll be picking up the Tmo version instead, less hassle
WTF! You cant buy a phone outright, you have to be on contract instead? Thats insane.Does this apply to ALL phones?

why dont you get Rogers galaxy s2 LTE?
it has the same bands as Telus but with LTE added!
Most likely it's because they are low on stock and to get more commission they save it for contracted customers. I know that's what I would do if it were me.

my hook-up thread doesn't seem as bad anymore does it. I knew the big 3 would probably be as***** about it and so that's why i wanted a tmobile version instead.
You can probably buy it off someone who's trying to make a quick profit. $500 is a reasonable offer for a $100 on-contract phone.
Just try a different Telus store maybe?

Okay I need an aswer to this by tomorrow... I figured id ask here while I look on google.
Will best buy be offering the UK or a GNex version wiithout the LTE radio in it for people say on T-Mobile orf those who don't want the LTE radio in it?
I'm asking because my parents are either going to get the SGS2 (which is inferior with T-Mobiles version) or the GNex and I'm the one deciding which. Obviously I want the GNex, but not sure I do if it comes with the LTE radio in it..
Thanks in advance for the nice responses!

There is no GSM version officially released in the US. You have to import and buy full price.

Probably not until either AT&T or T-Mobile starts selling them. Has BB (or ANY major B&M retailer) ever sold "non-carrier branded" devices? I don't think so. They make money on the contracts. If they could avoid hardware completely they'd do it in a second.
Well I'm just thinking maybe when Tmobile starts selling them they might see fit to sell the GSM edition as they don't seem to have LTE in the near future.. do you guys think maybe that's a possibility?

right now best buy only sells the Verizon LTE version.
if the device ever launches in the USA in a GSM version, you'll be sure they'll carry that as well like they did with the Nexus S.

First of all, wtf at your grammar and using the wrong words. Do you even look back at your words after you type them out?
Secondly, nobody knows for sure if America will get any version other than the LTE model. It's all assumption until an announcement is made.

Whoa, calm down. Its from the XDA App, so it was an Autocorrect from 'retarded'.
Now, I am just debating if I am willing to spend $50.00 more to get the phone 30 days earlier. I just wish there was some OFFICIAL talk if the GSM version is going to be available stateside.
Verizon has it exclusive for 60 days from launch according to someone I spoke with from Samsung.
After talking with someone from AT&T, you'll probably see it there in February or March.

Not really. All Nexus One phones were sold directly from Google.
Yes, T-Mobile offered a plan to users who wish to sign up with a two-year contract. This was very limited as it was only for customers who were on individual plans.
Nexus One was never marketed or advertised in T-Mobile corporate stores or their website.

Dude, I'm from Lancashire...
If you are talking T-Mobile USA... I say yes, its the unlocked GSM galaxy nexus. Negri supposedly has it for 575 shipped after coupon for the 16gb version. That's not much more than I paid for my grey market daily steals gsm galaxy nexus. After inflation its not much more than the 520 dollar nexus s I bought day one. True, its not subsidized, but if you plan on keeping the phone for any length of time you potentially pay less staying off contract. More up front, but less on the back end. Plus you get access to almost everything in the app store. I still can't get wallet working with my nexus s but this one works out of the box. Plus square trade is less than T-Mobile warranty or geek squad (us GSM nexus s only available at best buy). Save up a little or pay it on credit and pay over time, but in the 500s this is a great phone for T-Mobile given the features. Unsubsidized 32gb model on Verizon is 645 new so...

No it doesn't.
T-Mobile UK is an independently operated wholly-owned subsidiary of Everything Everywhere. Everything Everywhere is partially owned by Deutsche Telekom.
T-Mobile US is an independently operated wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom.
But really the ownership matters less than the fact that all of the T-Mobile networks run quite independently of each other. So to get back to it, it does matter for people to specify 'which' TMO they're referring to. Of course, this one should have been pretty clear based upon OP's information.

Hello all.
As you can see by my name, Im'a Noob! i have a good understanding of computers and cell phones and can follow directions well but have not attempted anything like this so....
Here's the deal, Today i went to Wal-mart to get a new phone for my wife. I decided on the T mobile Samsung galaxy S 4 (on the Wal-mart family plan $40 a month unlimited) . unfortunately, it apparently does not get signal at my house. What i desire to do is move it to straight talk. because Verizon does have signal at my house. So from this point, is there any way to get this Galaxy S4 to see the Verizon towers and work on the Straight talk network using those Verizon towers? And If So, Can someone please post the step by step instructions (without assuming that i know what a jailbreak or unlocking is) so that i can make my wife happy.

Can't be done. T-Mobile is GSM, Verizon is CDMA, incompatible networks.
Straight Talk resells service for the major carriers but for Sprint and Verizon, who are CDMA carriers/networks, you have to get phones compatible with CDMA to use on Straight Talk and vice versa for T-Mobile and AT&T.
ok how about this

Neither the T-Mobile nor AT&T variant will work on Verizon. Period. There isn't an unlock you can do, no ROM you can flash, no special code you can put in to change that fact.
For ST or Net10 to use the Verizon towers you need a CDMA phone, which the M1919 S4 is not. As was mentioned in the post above mine, you DO have the option to run off of T-Mobile or AT&T networks either through the respective carriers or use those towers via Net10 or Straight Talk; but using the Verizon towers in any way is impossible with the particular device you purchased.

Where'd you buy it? I bought mine from TMO and was told I can return it within 30 days for a full refund. As others have posted, you can't do what you want with that phone, period.
Edit: Reread your original post. If you have to have Verizon then the phone you bought won't work. Just like a AM radio won't pick up FM stations. It's that simple. Take it back to Walmart and get a refund. BUT, if you can live with using T-mobile away from home and have wifi at home you can get a T-Mobile plan and use wifi calling and internet access at home, and the TMO network elsewhere. You want to use wifi at home anyway because it doesn't count towards data or calling usage. It's all seamless, so there's no problem using it that way.
Dude seriously I find it hard to believe you don't have Wi-Fi in your home. Because if you do, your problems are solved. Your phone supports Wi-Fi calling and messaging (SMS/MMS). This is why I switched to T mobile.

It's not always a horror story with craigslist, there are a few decent people on there lol. But yea I agree other places are definetly more trustworthy and safe to buy from, just don't expect to get as good a deal from them since your not taking a chance.
I met with craigslist seller @Tmobile so to be sure it was paid off and not blacklisted, just gotta be smart and do things the right way or you will get screwed over on that site

Just wondering for those who have a tmobile note 3 on atnt, what are the advantages of this? Just curious since I am currently choosing between tmobile and atnt.

They want the unlocked bootloader of the T-Mobile Note 3 (GSM) for easy rooting and ROM'ing, but want to use it on ATTs more expensive (GSM) network. Has the ATT Note3's bootloader been hacked yet? I don't even know.

Bought mine last month on Swappa for $690 w/o any shipping or taxes. Arrived a day later via USPS priority mail from NJ (to NY). No insurance; a 1-year samsung warranty is good enough for me.
GET TO THE SWAPPA! </SchartzeneggerVoice>

Number 1 advantage is signal and real lte and more coverage I pretty much get 4G almost everywhere , T-mobile has too many dead spots. Even betting I'm using a straight att sim and getting 18- 20+ mbps download

Got it from T-M store.
BTW NUMBER 1 advantage of T-M here is normal coverage comparing to ATT garbage (even regular signal coverage is extremely weak)! Even with the microcell booster.
