I am planning to purchase tmobile note 2 and will be using it in both T-mobile USA and Windmobile USA. Can someone tell me what is the best way to get wireless and wired hotspot tethering to work on both network?
I use foxfi and pdanet.

Initially I thought there were two variants of Samsung Galaxy Note 2, N7100 and N7105(LTE) but it looks like there are more.
I checked the NOTE 2 at my local T-Mobile store and it was SGH-T889.
I am planning to buy a (no contract/unlocked) Note 2 with LTE support. I can buy the unlocked N7105 online but it costs $825.
I was thinking of buying the retail t-mobile SGH-T889 for $650 plus taxes but I am concerned:
1) T-mobile support told me that I will not be able to use any other SIM.
2) Even if I get it unlocked from (cellunlocker.net), will I get any carrier LTE coverage ?
I frequently travel (international) so would like to have a Note 2 which supports LTE for multiple carriers ?
As per this Anandtech, T-mobile note 2 was unlocked and it picked up ATT LTE.
Phandroid also confirmed that t-mobile supports LTE.
I had a chat with Negrielectronics support and they informed that n7105 does not support ATT LTE.
Experts, please suggest/confirm if the t-mobile note 2 will support LTE overall ?
Thanks
LTE are carrier specific in the US. US Lte are incompatible with international Lte. That's why there are different models gsm of iPhone 5.
Buy the Lte model for the place where you spend your most time.

Well, I have a carrier unlocked Note 2 from AT&T, and I have 1 sim from AT&T and another sim from T-Mobile... Okay... My Note 2 right now is with the International ROM that is all over the AT&T forums here on XDA (and t-mobile forums as well) with the multi-window feature... I added the AT&T APN and I get LTE with my AT&T sim of course...
Now, when I insert the T-Mobile sim I only get Edge on T-Mobile, just like the Note 1. All I need is to flash a hybrid modem or T-Mobile modem and I should get HSPA+ (3.5G) on T-Mobile, exactly as the Note 1...
I already ordered from ebay the dual sim adapter, I just need to wait for an Hybrid modem to show up and I am all set with high speed on both networks...
In the case of AT&T and T-Mobile... If you are going to use both networks... The best bet is to use a T-Mobile ROM and use it with AT&T instead of the other way around, because T-Mobile rom has wifi calling... So... The best choice is to use a tmobile rom and use it with tmobile and AT&T... The issue at this point in time is that there is no tmobile rom with wifi calling and multi window... So, that is why I am using the International ROM right now... Because of the multi window feature, but as soon as there is a ROM with wifi calling and multi window... Then that's the best choice...
But my question... Can anyone confirm a successful T-Mobile ROM Flash on the AT&T Note 2? Same for T-Mobile Modem... Any 3.5G with T-Mobile on AT&T Note 2 instead of EDGE...
Hello all,
Thinking about buying the T-Mobile Note 2 which I plan to use on my T-Mobile prepaid line. But also use with my 2 accounts in Canada on Bell Mobility and Wind Mobile, if I get the T-Mobile Note 2 and unlock it, will I have any issues using it on either on these two Canadian carriers? Is anyone else doing this?
I don't care for LTE, HSPA or HSPA+ is good enough for me.
Hey, if the phone is unlocked you should be able to use it with both Wind and Bell straight out of the box with no modifications and get HSPA+ connectivity.

Nice, thank you.
I have service in both T-mobile USA and Windmobile Canada. When I am in US, I use T-mobile and when I am in Canada, I use Windmobile. I would like to use T-Mobile Note 2 on both networks by swapping in/out sim cards.
I would like to know what I need to do to get Visual Voice Mail to work on both networks.
Any thoughts?

I personally use phonefusion voicemail service. cheaper and better than T-mo vvm.
I am considering purchasing the international Edge + instead of the Tmobile version in the United States because it is much less expensive on Amazon.
Tmobile suppports wifi calling, but would it work on the international version of this phone?

In order to have wifi calling on the tmobile network you need the following:
1: Tmobile branded phone
2: You need to be on the Tmobile network
3: Must have a tmobile sim card.
4: Use Tmobile stock or custom firmwares
Wifi calling WON'T work on international unlocked phones .
Good luck!

I got a tmobile new sealed box s6 edge plus on swappa for 580.00. It works great. I had a note 5 international ,but no wifi calling and no samsung pay on international models... So I sold it and got t mobile s6eplus. Also if you get international model there is no warranty..
