Receiving updates on unlocked note 2? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

So heres an easy question. If I unlock my tmobile note 2.....where would updates come from? Would they come from samsung directly? Or would I still have to wait on tmobile?

When you unlock, It just unlocks the phone so that you can use other sim cards in it but as long as you are stock you should still get any updates from T-mobile...
(might have to have a T-mobile sim card in it though)

Yeah - cause I was having this debate with a friend and they kept telling that Telus phones are only limited to Telus no matter what you do to hack into the phone
There is no 'hacking' involved. Every carrier is able to give you a sim unlock code.
Bell provides them on their website if you register your phone there.

Support for Verizon bands?

I have an opportunity to score a tmobile galaxy note 2 but I have Verizon. If I unlock the phone, will it work on Verizon if I get the APN settings?
No, it won't work.

Noob question

I have a really quick and easy question. Im planning to buy an at&t gs3 phone from craiglist but im planning to use it on a different carrier, gosmart, what are the things I have to look for? Im sorry this sounds very elemental but I have always used sprint and I really dont know much about sim card.
Thank you very much for your time!

At&t phones operate on gsm. Make sure gosmart is a gsm carrier. Also, depending on the carrier, you may not see LTE speeds
Well i assume you would have to unlock it which is now illegal without carrier permission so you would have to call at&t and have them unlock if it doesn't already come unlocked
Gosmart uses a sim card( tmobile) but im not worried about lte speeds. What im worried is at&t claiming back their phone. Now this guya in craiglist says he bought the gs3 and then his job gave him the iphone, so he has no use for it. Will at&t will automatically unlock it when he got the iphone?

[Q] Can ISIS be used with an AT&T SIM card on this phone?

I know the T-mobile version of GN3 is powerful and almost fully compatible with AT&T. However, I still have one question: after the phone is unlocked, can ISIS be used with an AT&T SIM card on this phone? Have any of you tried?
Thanks!
Nobody tried?

Someone tried with a VZW note 3 without any success using T-Mobile service... figure the same would be true with an AT&T version.
I had tmobile and isis was working. Switched to att with correct sim and won't activate. Called numerous times but they can't get it to work

Any more samples? what could be the reason for the incompatibility please?
The Isis is the sim card. If its Isis att sim it might.

It is a no go
Is just got a AT&T ISIS Sim but couldn't activate on an unlocked Tmobile Note 3. The funny thing is that nobody on at&t support could help me because none of the support people (who just can read from scripts btw, their response was to call Google since the ISIS wallet is downloaded from the google store) even knew what ISIS was... So I am giving up and going back to my Nexus 5 and google wallet... Shame on you AT&T and Samsung...
Same here. Can't set up account with att isis sim on unlocked tmobile phone. Anyone else have any luck? or alternate way to set up account? on the brighter side, I seem to be getting slightly better signal with the new sim..not sure if its just a coincidence

Yes there is, the Tmobile S6 Edge+ needs to be un-locked.
Check out this thread below, it talks about a Tmobile Note 4
using a Verizon sim card but it's the same principle getting
your S6 Edge+ working with a Verizon sim card.

Good luck!
You might also need to adjust the APN to work with verizon.
