What exact model and SIM card provider are you talking about? If it is the N7100, yes it will work but WITHOUT LTE.

7100 onatt

International one x question

U guys can beat me up for this, for asking such a returd question.
Will the International gsm unlocked version work on Verizons network? Since verizon provides micro SIM cards?

One X also uses micro sim only so it should work without any problems as its unlocked.
I hope it will.

No. It will not work. Verizon uses sim cards as their LTE network is based on GSM BUT, they are a CDMA carrier.
To clarify: those sim cards are for their LTE network...but Verizon is primarily a CDMA carrier. The hardware on the One X is incompatible.

Are you.sure and has anyone tried it

Babydoll is right, at best you might be able to get data if their LTE network is based on GSM but no cell/txt/mms and that is at best. It is quite probable that none of it will work.
CDMA != GSM

nope

Moving to england from america.

I have an att note 2. And I will be moving to the united kingdom in a few months. Is it possible to use a carrier there with my i317? With some software and a sim card? Or will I have to get a new phone?
If so what carriers will work?

Your speeds wont be as good considering they run on different bands. I suggest trading for an n7100 or n7105 before you go

If it only has 3g your good. From my latest experience with an n7105 and i317 having the n7105 here gives you a gb2 with 3g and having an i317 gives you 3g in England

T-Mobile s4 on AT&T

How well would my s4 work on the AT&T network? Thinking of making the switch only because TMO has very bad coverage @ my place of employment and zero coverage @ my new home. Please do consider that I will apply the appropriate compatible radios/rom(s) for ATT.

Yes.
You have to SIM unlcock it. There is a guide around here somewhere. It's really easy.
Do not switch radios. Let me say that again. Do not flash an AT&T radio. You will not be happy.
OK thanks. I appreciate it. I've subscribed to the sim unlock topic, just need to do it. And I wont be flashing the radio!

I use my T-Mobile gs4 on AT&T, but be sure to check your APNs, otherwise you might not be getting LTE.

Well that is both true and untrue. While the phone does have gsm hardware the gsm sim card is integrated into the phone. To use it on another gsm network you need their sim card. There are mods to change that but it is not for the faint of heart.
