I saw an N900t on Ebay. The seller sent me a picture of the phone.
Here it is
It says model number is SM-900T but the seller says it won't work with LTE on AT&T, even though the phone is unlocked. The seller is nice enough to tell me that it won't work with ATT LTE..
The instruction manual photo says it is n9000.. but he sent a picture of n900t label on phone.
Are there n900t phones which won't work on AT&T

I would also like to know if this would work.
I have an unlocked Tmobile Note 3 working on a Straight Talk ATT sim card. Its the old sim with the att.mvno apn. The new sims work with a tfdata apn. My status bar does not say 4G lte just 4g. Wondering if I need the new ST sim to get LTE if that even works .
Anyone else have some insight?

Thanks.
Using an N900T on AT&T LTE as well. There is a big forum in AT&T General on this. Good luck.
The posts from people using it answers your question but you can do some searching as this has been talked about quite a bit. From what I have read, the T-Mobile version was the most desirable model since it includes all the ATT bands plus the T-Mobile band so it will work on both networks. The ATT model is missing the T-Mobile LTE band so that is why some people using ATT bought the T-Mobile version to begin with. It lets you use it on either network without restrictions.
Hope this helps...
He might using the tmobile version to take pictures and replies to ebay questions, which doesn't mean he using the same phone he selling
Yes the SM-900 Model won't support LTE because its international variant so its only supports 4G.

I just bought an unlocked N900T for my AT&T and am getting LTE speeds.
just checked and got a 22Mbps download speed with the LTE APN configuration
What , I think, many don't realize that you should register at&t lte capable device imei on your account. Then this phone should work fine. For example, if you already have at&t sim that gets you lte - you are fine.
However, if you buy the tmobile phone and then try to open new at&t account while using imei of n900t - you may not ever get lte.
Opposite is the same. I registered my old at&t note 2 with tmobile and never could get lte. Not even when I got n900t. Support was clueless. Last thung I said to csr before she wanted to file a ticket to their engineers - 'could you please switch my imei' and oops I got lte in 2 minutes.

I'm currently on att with a note 2 and i've switched to t-mobile and will be recieving a new phone in the mail soon. Should i return it and just flash a t-mobile rom onto my current phone? or should i just sell my att one on craigslist and keep the new t-mobile phone? Any possible loss of features or functionality by sticking with the phone i have?
Keep the tmo one.
It dosent have lte yet, so hang on to att one too I suggest but tmo has added aws band.

I don't understand your answer to the OP.
I'm in the exact same situation as the OP. I'm with AT&T but they just took my unlimited data plan away so I'm probably going to switch to T-Mobile.
Are there any bands that the T-Mobile Note 2 has that can't be unlocked on the AT&T model? According to Wikipedia both AT&T and T-Mobile version of the Note 2 have AWS. I heard that you can enable the high speed bands on AT&T's model to work with T-Mobile. Is taht not true?

Tmo hasnt released the update to let tmo gnotes2 work on their lte network, because its not up and running most places... Possibly only update customers who are in Kansas City.
Not too clear if att gnotes2 with att specific firmware would work on tmo's network. Theoretically it should work, but their might be some radio issues that give u shoddy service. Unlocking phones is illegal now, so idk if u could sim unlock ur phone through att to work for tmo anyways. Might have to go through ebay or something to do so.

Hi all,
While I was deployed in Afghanistan I purchased a Note 2 GT-N700 from an Italian PX. Used it over there and worked great. Come back to the States last week and Verizon, my carrier, says I can't use it here because they don't have that IMEI number. Tried putting my active Verizon mini SIM in it from my GS4 and nothing.
Can I salvage this situation? I really like the bigger Note 2. Can I root or something?
Thanks in advance.
Verizon is CDMA. 100% not going to work.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
Thanks; so it'd only work with ATT or TMobile SIM cards?
2G only for T-Mo, some 3G for ATT, no LTE on either. N7100 is not well suited to use in North America, better to sell it & pick up the VZW variant (if you can get past the branding on the home button).

I have an unlocked TMO note 3 which I installed the AT&T fingerprint on. So it looks just like the AT&T version. However, for some reason I can't get LTE speeds on it, it just says 4G. I am wondering if someone is getting LTE on AT&T with a TMO phone. I went to the AT&T store and updated my SIM card and no luck. Also please state whether you're on a pay phone plan or not.
Thanks

Do a search for user Mircury and his thread. I had this issue as I supplied a non ATT IMEI number to ATT, when I logged in my ATT wireless my data pack was no longer LTE but just 4G. In the end I had to supply a valid ATT IMEI number to get this working. Is this what you did?

I have always had a non AT&T phone, so I don't have an AT&T IMEI, what can I do to fix this???
Search eBay for an AT&T Note 3 and find an auction where the seller foolishly posts a pic of the IMEI on the box. Note that down, and then call AT&T and apply it to your account. You'll then be provisioned for Android LTE in their system. Done it a million times with no harm yet.

Or go to an ATT store and use one of their IMEI numbers. Then again, I think some of their phones do not have radios.
So if I purchase a t-mobile note 3 on ebay that has a bad imei can I still go to that website that will give you a unlock code if you have a bad imei?
Hi,
I am thinking about moving my Galaxy S4 and moto RAZR from Verizon wireless to iwireless (a t-mobile affiliate). I understand that I need to unlock my phone but I am unable to find out if I move it to iwireless if I will still have 4G data. The iwireless sales rep said that I will still have voice and 2.5G service but couldn't tell me if I would still have 4G.
I was looking at this table I found on a site explaining how to unlock the phone but I don't know enough about the subject to make an informed decision.
Samsung Galaxy S4
Can someone confirm whether or not my Verizon S4 or RAZR can be unlocked to work with the iwireless/t-mobile 4G network?

It seems as though your grasp of the subject is strong enough to know that it might work as you'd like - and it might not. You need to call back and ask to speak to a CSR that actually knows what bands their service works on so they can give you accurate information. That's kind of their job...
Also -
Verizon LTE operates on Band 13 while T-Mob operates on Band 17, both of which carry completely different spectrums; this means no LTE on either of your unlocked phones.There's a slim possibility that you will get intermittent 3G but the most likely scenario is that you will get talk, text and 2G / 2.5G only.
Band 17? My Verizon branded S4 is getting T-Mobile LTE. I'm fairly sure its on band 4.
T-mobile is band 4 which is 1700/2100 mhz. The Verizon s4 is not capable of 1700mhz. But if you are getting 4G it may be because your area is using 2100 mhz. I am specifically moving to iwireless and I was told they use the 1700 mhz band.

Yes, I think all Verizon LTE capable phones are unlocked.
The I545 (Verizon S4) can receive LTE on band 4. T-Mobile serves LTE on band 4. The coincidence works well.

My RAZR MAXX HD definitely wasn't SIM unlocked... For the life of me I couldn't get it to work when I moved to ATT from Verizon... Not even GSM would work.
I just need to get some clarification from you guys. Are your VZW phones bought in the US and being in the US on t-mobile's or iwireless's 4g network. Because after I made the first post I went to the phone unlocking place in my local mall and talked to there techs, they said that the VZW S4 will not get 4g. I have also been doing extensive searches online and keep finding half saying it will work and half saying it won't. I have a feeling that the ones that work are working outside of the US as I found posts saying as such.
I read some where that the razr you had to flash the radio FW to get GSM to work properly.

I got my vzw S4 off craigslist but 99% sure it was purchased in the USA. I'm on T-Mobile's $50/mo plan.
Verizon's LTE phones are sim unlocked due to an agreement with the FCC when vzw purchased some bandwidth.
I think there was an update around 03/2014 that enabled band 4 on the I545. Then had to make some apn changes and tell the modem to use gsm/lte on band 4.
The one quirk I have is it will say "no service" after a reboot and until I make or receive a voice call. Then I get the "T-Mobile" instead of "no service" and things work as they should.

I'll have to go to iwireless and have one of the tech put a SIM card in my s4 and razr to give it a try.
The only options I have for the network mode on my s4 is
Global, LTE/CDMA, and GSM/UMTS. Can you post you settings?

I was just at iwireless today and tested my phone with their network and was unable to get it to work. iwireless is a t-mobile affiliate but they do not use 4G LTE in my area. Their system runs on a 3.8G 1700MHz which the VZW S4 does not have. I am told that they will be starting to switch all the 2G radios in the area to 4G LTE later this year, which should work with my VZW S4. So I am just going to have to wait till the end of the year and go back and test it again.

That phone was before VZW bought the band 4 spectrum and cut the deal with the FCC. All VZW LTE phones are SIM unlocked. Any AWS capable VZW phone is SIM unlocked and can use LTE on band 4. The S4 got it with an update last year.
I am probably going to do the $30 plan soon and plan to use my VZW S4. I am not going to port my number right away in case the service in my area sucks (doubtful, live in DFW in dense surburbia).
I went out off town this weekend and went to a t-mobile store and was able to get 4g service after adding the correct APN. But it is too bad that iwireless that is in my area does not use that band yet, they are staring to upgrade to that band later this year. Until then my s4 will only get edge service.

With the announcement of the T Mobile $100 2 line unlimited everything, I'm also interested in bringing my Verizon S4 MDK boot loader phone to T Mobile, but want to do my research first-- is it as simple as signing up for T Mobile and getting one of their SIMs and then-- would I be able to flash any of the ROMs in the S4 T Mobile Dev forum or is the T Mobile S4 a completely different device? Any caveats? Would I have to LokiDoki after the flash? Would I need to flash a T Mobile specific radio too (currently on i545vrufnk1)? Or is that all just overcomplicating things? Would i be able to just adjust the APNs on my current ROM after inserting a T Mobile SIM?

Quick reply to my post and for anyone else interested-- there's a post here that talks about using a 4.4.2 T-Mobile ROM by Fenny on the a Verizon S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57453019 I've tried it and LTE works great, MMS works properly, phone calls work as well. I'm on the Verizon i545vruamdk bootloader and Verizon i545vrufnk1 radio. The ROM is a T-Mobile m919uvufnb4 by Fenny.

I am considering purchasing the international Edge + instead of the Tmobile version in the United States because it is much less expensive on Amazon.
Tmobile suppports wifi calling, but would it work on the international version of this phone?

In order to have wifi calling on the tmobile network you need the following:
1: Tmobile branded phone
2: You need to be on the Tmobile network
3: Must have a tmobile sim card.
4: Use Tmobile stock or custom firmwares
Wifi calling WON'T work on international unlocked phones .
Good luck!
