No. Only edge network will work. 3g and 4g work on completely different spectrum and radio frequency

If that was true the galaxy note from att wouldn't get T-Mobile 4 g which it does when flashing a blaze 4g modem I also want to know if this will work on the att s3

That may be true about the Note 2, but an ATT S3 does not have the T-Mobile 3/4G frequencies.

Yes this guys right. Take a look for yourself:
ATT Galaxy Note Specs
T-Mobile Galaxy S3 Specs
ATT Galaxy S3 Specs
Notice how the Note and the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 have that 1700 Mhz frequency? Thats what T-Mobile broadcasts their 3G/4G spectrum on. If the phone doesnt have those frequencies, then it wont work no matter what you do.

That's different. It is a whole different phone with a whole different SoC.
Let's not say things that we cannot prove.
Don't shoot this guy completely down. It will get T-Mobile 3g/4g as soon as T-Mobile refarms their network.

Yeah, because they live in one of the small parts of the US that uses the 1900mhz band for HSPA. It will not work everywhere else.

What about the other way? A T-Mo SGS3 on AT&T? What does that get you? I know NO LTE but what about HSPA+ ?

Yes, HSPA+ will be fine. But as you said, no LTE.
I have a TMobile Samsung Galaxy S3 phone that I want to unlock and use with my AT&T sim card and service. What kind of performance/ lack there of will I get by doing this?? Also, do i need to wait for a certain period of time in order to unlock my Galaxy S3?? Any input I get would be greatly appreciated.
TMobile can run ATT LTE network, and about TMobile unlock policy, read the link below.

Correction. The T-Mobile s3 is the only one capable of running HSDPA 42 on T-Mobile and HSDPA 21 on AT&T not lte. This doesn't have the lte radio. You'll have descent download speeds ranging from 3-7 mbps

Hello guys. I'm on a roadtrip trip right now in usa for 3 weeks and bought a sim and plan for 70$ from tmobile worst service ever. They told me I will have 4g from Oregon to vegas on i5 highway... So not true all I was getting was edge and g. I was wondering if att is better if I have note 2 T889V would it get data with att prepaid? Some lady at att said I won't have Internet at all. Not sure if it's true or not. Just wanted to clarify it with you smart guys.

Tmobile does not have the signal coverage that Verizon and att have.
As for you question, as far as I can tell, it may be possible to flash att radio on your model n2: there has been 1 report that someone has succeeded but no confirmation and no how-to. Others tried and either didn't work or bricked their phone.

Not possible without changing radios? To use Att?

I have both! What I can tell you is that both are unlocked. And that I can get LTE on the TMO GN2, with my AT&T SIM in there. And on the TMO I also flashed a AT&T custom Rom SKY NOTE!! Which leave the modem in tact but changes everything else. But I don't have an active TMO SIM too check to see if I can get LTE on the AT&T GN2!!
But I get it..on one of them:thumbup:

Hello Everyone
I have a newb question so please dont judge
I have an unlocked and rooted T889V which i got from Wind Mobile. I have decided to gift it to my wife
as she is fed up with her little S3 mini and the crappy camera. She is currently with Rogers however she
does not have data or plan on using the internet. She will be sticking to Wifi as she either uses it home or at work.
Will this phone work with Rogers to make calls and send text messages or do i need to flash a different modem?
Thanks!
Yes, but the phone will need to be unlocked.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Just unlock it. Insert Rogers SIM. Done.
No need to bother with enabling LTE since she won't be using data on it.
Although I am *very* curious to know if the (upcoming official) 4.3 update activates it since Vidéotron should be flipping the switch on their own LTE deploy soon-ish.

Yup its already unlocked she just needs to buy a micro sim card cause hers is the regular big one. Thanks for the help guys.
