people have been cutting sims for years lol
Normally I would be flaming right beside u guys for posting common knowledge stuff. However..I have been through 4 different android phones, 2 blackberry phones and one winmo phone...all using sim cards and this is the first time I've heard of cutting up sim cards. Up until the s3 I thought all sim cards were the same size and shape
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
They even have SIM card cutters. I used to work for Rogers, they're insanely convenient and easy to use.
cutting SIM cards date back to the release of iPhone 4. If you never heard of it, props to you for not give a phuc about iphones.

I dont know if you guys will remember, but when the atrix came out, they were saying our old "3g" sim cards would not work in the "4g"(boy they used that term loosely) devices. If I simply cut my existing sim card and put it in my soon to be delivered red sg3, will it work with lte?
it should, dont see why it wouldnt /\/\

I had never heard of this until this phone either. So, it's perfectly acceptable that you didn't think this was common knowledge. Amazes me how some folks think that just bc not everyone is totally obsessed with their phone that makes them idiots.

One thing I noticed is that if you cut your sim card, you don't have to pay the $36 upgrade fee for AT&T to change your active sim card. (Or at least they haven't hit me up for it yet. I ordererd my phone through amazon).
I did this, and I lost the ability to send mms, had to go get a micro sim.

does your LTE work? i tried this with my atrix 4G's SIM before I tried the included LTE SIM when I ordered it, and I was not able to get data on the phone.
Well i finally found a note 2 LTE from Rogers here in Canada, this is the exact same that will release for AT&T, I did a bench test with Quadrant and Antutu, put it on youtube. there is no performance loss with the LTE model as mentioned from a source, i had the n7100 before and this benched the exact same! Its my first vid so dont knock it lol now just need to wait for a root and CWM for this baby!

For what it's worth, I did overhear a T-Mo representative say their LTE services will be launching in select markets within the next few months. This is in line with their 2013 dates, so I didn't question it too much.
This was at a retail store in the ghetto of St. Louis, so I don't take it for much more than hearsay from him.
Maybe L stands for lite or little? As in s3 mini?
That be nice for someone who doesn't already have the s3.. now we might as well wait for the s4.

I thought the gs3 t-mobile was already LTE, are you telling me only that international edition gs3 gets all the good benefits, is 4g all that the gs3 is capable of? Lame they under powered it under did it over messed the tmobile gs3 up. How is it all that different from the gs2 tmobile if it doesn't even have lte capability.

It's pretty much he says, she says at this point. There are people on this site who claim our phone is already LTE ready but then there are others who say no way our phone is LTE ready. I don't know but I sure am enjoying the phone, just wish I would have knew about the whole LTE thing.

Its good news if you dont have a GS3 and you were thinking of buying one. I personally wouldn't buy it since the GS3 has been out for over 6 months now. It's not a long time, but in smart phone time it is. I would wait for something in the first half of 2013.

This is irrelevant, this phone will probably be release around the same time as the S4 which I'm sure will come with LTE by then.
I heard that LTE is already being tested in some secret areas, I think I saw it on Tmo News.
I would pass on this and wait on what's to come.

Tmobile isn't even ready for lte yet, they are testing it so it wouldnt matter if our phones got LTE capability now.
Plus like one of the previous posters said, we are getting up to like 25mbps of 4g and i download huge movies very quickly and stream netflix and youtbe hd without any problems so just what is the point for super fast LTE? IT'S pointless for now for my smartphone. Pretty soon when the world begins to stream bluray 50gb movies then LTE will come in handy but for now when most movies are like 4gb or less no need for lte for me.
Reason why most of us wouldn't need LTE

I agree. I highly doubt they(T-Mobile) would add lte to the s3. Plus that would suck for those who already have the s3

I was checking out the T-Mobiles' web site and saw that there is NO other versions of the S3 only the LTE variant that just came out.
Found this interesting not sure if other knew about this or ?
I had spoken to them as I just purchased my S3 in Jan and was told I could do a trade in and $150.00 out of pocket... No thanks ....
Correct. The T999L is replacing the T999 across the board. No reason to sell the old one anymore.

No, thats not the firmware, its just how they named the Pebble Blue one on their website. Ive no idea why they did it this way, but its simply how they differentiate the different colors.
T999MBATMB = Pebble Blue
T999RWATMB = Marble White

I'm trying my luck at it now, I doubt it though - I'm sure they have tons of s3's coming back in (trade ins) or refurbs stocked and ready to go. $20 for a replacement while still in warranty, eek.
