You shouldn't need an unlock code for the T-Mobile GS2..

Did ever get your sgs2 to work on simple mobile? I'm really hating Tmobile right now, cos they keep changing my payment due dates. Before it was the 30th, then 29th, then 25th, then 21st, and now they changed it again to 19th....
Because of this, i'm really planning on switching to simple Mobile. But, how is it working for you? HSPA+ Data speeds ok? is it capped?
Well simple mobile uses tmo as a network backbone.. Just an fyi.

I've been on simple 2 months now yeah I got it working my sim went bad I had it in my pocket and I guess I did something to it got replacement and everything works well all u have to.do is change the apn but speeds are the same as if.on T-Mobile that's on the 60 dollar plan not sure if 40 one willl work just as fast if it.does I'm paying 20 bucks more for nothing

Awesome...so whatever speeds i'm getting right now with tmobile i should be getting as well with Simple.
Another question, does Simple throttle you if you use too much data? I tried to find an answer to their website but couldn't find anything.
Simple is far more restrictive of their data usage and you get no roaming.
With Monthly4G you get voice/text roaming but no data roaming. higher data caps too. I would go with Monthly4G
Yeah they do but I'm not so.much of a data hog I use less than 2 gigs for a daily use phone its nice I use wifi when ever possible, they throttle after 2gigs , and for 2
Months I haven't had an issue for the price and no contract I like it

I think your right. Simple mobile is just reselling the T-Mobile $60 2gig plan by calling it an unlimited plan. This is technically true, as they don't ever cut off your data, they just throttle it.

I'm using Ptel mobile $50 plan on an S3 flashed with tmokeiths mod. I'm getting speeds of 6mbps download in the Inland Empire California.
Using straight talk. Started off with good speed about 5-6mbps dl and 2-3 upload. Now it's been slowing down every month to .5-1 Mbps DL and under 1Mbps upload. Getting really annoying

Does MMS work for you on via Net10? What rom? MY brother is using a AT&T S3 with Net10 t-mobile sim, and he can't get MMS to work for the life of him. He has tinkered with APN settings, rom's, modem's, etc...
Does everyone have to shave the sim cards down? Or can you get microsims for the prepaid carriers?

Hi guys
I need your help guys I live in Saginaw Michigan. I switched to MetroPcs because the LTE/4G and the unlimited data plan.I bought T-mobile note 3 and used it on MetroPcs sim card and It was working very good in Saginaw ,MI. However, I returned the tmobile note to them because the device was frozen when I push the power button.My concern now is that dose the note 3 n9005 compatible on Metropcs LTE/G4 and will work just fine or not.
No. LTE not compatible.
sent from my sm-9005.
Doesn't tmobile offer unlimited lte/4g also? Why go with metropcs?

Hmmm I don't see the problem with it. You will have to get the phone unlocked for when you input the sim card then flash the corrective kernals. At least that's what I know when using phones meant for one company to another. Not that I did it or anything.

If both companies offer LTE, and n9005 is LTE(Which I found here http://www.sammobile.com/2013/09/01/galaxy-note-iii-lte-model-sm-n9005-passes-gcf-certification/, shouldn't it be compatible?
The hspa will be compatible but LTE bands between USA and the rest world differ.
sent from my sm-9005.
OHHHH Okay. HSPA is okay kind of. I used it a while back. Hey OP, is HSPA available in your area from Metro, because I know they started offering it. If so, there you go.
Thanks for all you guys I just bought a new note 3 from t mobile store and it's working very good on MetroPcs without rooting it. LTE also working in Saginaw very fast ( 25mb -38mb).
Congratulations. If you get around to flashing roms I highly recommend flashing an int'l rom on it.

Tmo owns Metro now so don't see why it won't work. If anything just have to wait until they get done adjusting power outage the metro towers are backing on

Can you just buy a Tmobile Note 3 without having contract from the Tmobile store?
Of course. You need service or need to be under somebody's name with service to get monthly installments though.

I called a store, they said you need to have some sort of prepay fee...or some kinda of agreement. YOu can't just buying without signing up for service or is this just with certain stores?
So is it confirmed that the T-Mobile U.S. Galaxy Note 3 is working on MetroPCS U.S with 4G? I'm trying to be sure before buying. Thanks in advance.
hello i just recently bought a note 3 to use on metro everything works but my data is very slow. my ping is below 40ms but my dl and ul is always around 8 - 14 kb. i live in arlington tx so i know i can get good speed but im not seeing it. i tried the tmobile apn as well as metro but both give the same results. is there a setting that i miss or is it something else. thanks

ahh cool.. i heard that simple mobile outin that region was very bad. but i had a very bad experience with tmo where i'm at where tmo is supposed to be coverage king.. i was riding in a car along the river and went on the web.. it was slow as sh'it. then my call dropped.. i cant understand why this happened when i go to the west side of my city when again tmo is hailed as the best carrier to have here..
I've used tmobile for a few years now and I wouldn't switch to simple mobile.

Hello, I have a question for all the tmobile users here.
I am currently on Sprint with a note 3, everything was going great with Sprint until I moved out into the county. I have been here for a year now, no cable, dsl, 4G lte on Sprint's spectrum, Wimax, fiber obviously, and no other reliable sources. Sprint is available here and all I have been getting is 3g until recently...now I'm stuck with 1xRTT. My only other option is satellite and I just can't bring myself to do that and I'm done waiting for Sprint's "Spark" since it will take years for them to actually update the towers and roll out any kind of improved network in my area. Sprint is upgrading towers now hence the drop in signal but this has been going on for months now. Lte is in the area maybe 5 minutes out but not on my property at all. They want to combine their three bands into one, providi g 40-50% more data coverage but we all know thats a big dream to come...if ever. Verizon LTE works here along with at&t's LTE (I understand Verizon sold them their lte spectrum on lower blocks and now tmobile), and T-mobile works with hspa+ but I have not tested lte yet, either way hspa+ would be amazing for me compared to 1xRTT.
My question for you is this, if I make the switch to Tmobile and bring over my domestic unlocked note 3 with the sim kit and start fresh as a new customer on the unlimited data plan and I reach my soft cap of 3gigs, how bad do they really throttle you? I guess I want to ask if they really check up on you and if the throttle speeds are equivalent to 1xRTT or faster? I'm just trying to figure out if it'd be worth the switch, I could handle the throttle if edge is a better punishment than 1xRTT. A good friend of mine works for tmobile and says the throttle is very real and that tmobile will know exactly when I reach my soft cap or if my phone is even rooted (doubtfull) and if I try to use a hot spot mod. I have been with Sprint for 8 years (too long) but it was nice to always have unlimited data with no cap or throttle if and when you actually had service, so my knowledge and experience is only with Sprint.
Can someone please help with some of your personal experiences?
Thank you!

Thanks Mike, are you on the newer $20 unlimited 4G, or are you grandfathered on the older unlimited data plan? Also when you used the hot spot hack are you throttled still or is it just when you use it normally?

If you get the unlimited data plan you won't be throttled and if you root your phone you'll be able to bypass throttling limits. The only way for T-Mobile to know you're rooted is if you have the T-Mobile app installed. It can tell if you allow it to run a diagnostic on your phone.

Ah I see, so does any particular rom help in that aspect or just simply need to be rooted with SU and use a wifi tether mod/app?
I'm already rooted and am running a rom on my Sprint note 3 and I'll be using a T-Mobile sim so it sounds like I'll be good to go.
The T-Mobile app makes sense to why they would even know in the first place, maybe running AOSP would be safest?

Most roms do at this point. I recommend tweaked nf1,, doesn't get any better than it.
