It's probably impossible to get signal here in the Stan right? I see in the roaming options for international but this isn't even an international phone.

As far as I'm tacking Europe runs on GSM only. So no the CDMA version of the galaxy II isn't global.

MTS runs a cdma network in eastern Europe. I'm pretty sure Afghanistan doesn't have any cdma available though.

This depends entirely on T-Mobile's service in your area, not the SIM card.

What he said.
It's pretty much the same as your existing T-Mobile phone, if not.. better.
what he said, but.....
it also depends on which radio you have installed. Samsung has a handful of different5 radios depending o where the phone was originally marketed for. All are basic GSM 5-band capable but each one has minor tweaks for specific networks. There are several threads on here debating which radio works best. Do a search if you are interested. For mine, the XXKK6 radio it arrived with (ordered from the UK) gets comparable reception to any other phone I have used on T-Mobile. You can see the radio version under settings .. about phone .. baseband version. Changing radios is easily done if rooted and you have basic mod skills.
My service wasn't the best at first but after I flashed UGKL1 radio my data speeds on HSPA+ went from 2mbs down up to 10mbs consistently.

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

Can I unlock and use this phone on GSM network in europe or it just for CDMA networks?? If you can use it on at&t and t-mobile then it is good for europe networks..

Cdma only... This phone doesn't have a quad band transmitter/receiver otherwise known as a world phone(like the photon)
