Hi everyone,
i will be in Japan for a couple of week. I read about the b-mobile visitor sim, with 1GB prepaid data. Here is a list of tested devices, but it isn't the Note 2.
They wrote that the device must be SIM lock free (and that's ok) and must support W-CDMA Band 1 (2100MHz) or Band 6 (800MHz). Europe Note 2 support this network?
Thank you so much! :fingers-crossed:
The N7100 model cannot connect to CDMA networks. Its supported only on those Note 2 models: SCH-R950, SHV-E250L, SCH-i605, and SCH-N719.
Btw. Visiting Japan...im so jealous right now

Thank You, probably I'll use this service, seems to be more simple.
It's my first time in Japan I'm very exiting! I'll have to wait until 04/21...

Hi,
I am planning to buy galaxy nexus phone from US and I will be finally using it in India going back. Can someone please suggest me if the phone works with Indian networks properly.
Thanks for your time.

I assume as long as you buy the GSM version, although I know nothing of the Indian networks.
Assuming you have a GSM network you can get a SIM from in India, it'll work just fine.
Gsm network is there with band 2100mhz, I believe. So essentially it mean that device will support the band without any issuses.
Thanks again.

I am buying Note 2 in India and getting back in US next month. Is the note 2 US version same as international version? I am moving from GS3 to Note 2 and i know GS3 had different version in USA. I am on tmobile in USA and i know Tmobile Note 2 has lte antenna for future use.
Will India version work in USA on tmobile with their 'fake' 4g speeds?

You can make voice calls and text but you will only get edge speed as they work on a different band from international note 2.
But if you mean by "work in US" is making and receiving calls, then yes you will not have a problem but you won't get any high speed data with international model.

Well i thought unlike GS3, the Note 2 is same for all countries so unlocked Note 2 from India will support all data frequencies whether I put AT&T Sim or T-mobile.
Shouldn't a unlock Note 2 support all data frequencies, in my case, that should be Tmobile 3g?
Need help guys... cant decide if i should buy it or not
I think in India it's the N7100 version and it does not support LTE but you can still use calling features and internet with 3G/4G.:good:
HI is there any owners of the Galaxy Note 2 LTE in the UK ? If so does the LTE Model NOTE 2 work with 3G Network Like on 3 Network?? Or does it have to specifically be on the EE Network ?? Thanks People!!

If it's unlocked it will work on 3G, it'll actually be faster than the N7100 too due to it supporting DC-HSDPA.
If it's locked, you'll need to unlock it and then it'll work fine.
Hi,
I searched whole Galaxy Note 2 Forums for my question but did not get direct answer. My question is
Can I use AT&T Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-i317) in India and get 3g data as is without making any modification to Bands?
or
Should I enable AWS (TMobile 3g/4g) bands in this phone to use 3G in India.
If anybody is using this phone in India, let me know how / which carrier in India are you using.

Depends what bands your carrier uses. The phone (without the AWS hack) supports 850/900/1900/2100 MHz for 3G.

I thought it supports only triband for 3g (900MHz being unavailable). Can you please confirm that SGH-i317 supports 900MHz for 3G.

I can't confirm that it actually works, other than this screenshot from my i317 (I did the AWS hack, which is why 1700 MHz comes up). GSM carriers in the US use 850/1900 (AT&T) and 1700/1900/2100 (T-Mobile) for 3G. So I can't see if 900 MHz works:
http://db.tt/WTFsWwwa
However, I don't think the phone will show bands that it doesn't support, so it should work. I have a hard time believing the phone is only Tri-Band, when my Galaxy S3 i9300 is quad-band (850/900/1900/2100 MHz) UMTS.
I know that the Verizon version works with 900 MHz because on Samsung's websites, it's quad-band UMTS. Yes, the Verizon version can also do GSM. It comes unlocked as well. You just have to use root and an APN application to add your carrier's APN, or just install a custom ROM that enables the APN menu.
I actually had the exact opposite question. I am planning on buying the Galaxy Note II (N7100) in India and I wanted to know if the 3G facility would work for any GSM provider in the United States?? I wanted to know if all the N7100 models (including the ones in India) are Quad band 3G. If so I guess the AT&T 3G should work as quad band would be compatible with the 850/1900 frequencies used by AT&T. Any help in this regard would be appreciated. I hope to be in the US from September for studies and thus wanted to be sure Id be able to use this phone for 3G there.

Thanks for confirming. I was worried that I will miss out on 3g because of this 900MHz.

I travel India frequently and have US (AT&T) and India (Vodaphone) SIM, I just swap the sim and everything works great. I am on cleanrom 4.8. No issues and great Internet speed in Mumbai. Even I was able to do RDC without any issues.
Thanks.

ATT Note 2 in India
Guys i am using ATT Note 2 in India and i am not able to pick up 3G frequencies here.. My phone is unlocked from ATT but i still only get to use 2G,. I would appreciate if anyone can help me here. How do i get to 3G here.? i am using a vodafone sim.
I would like to know if all the N900T are LTE enabled or if there is a 3G only model and a LTE model, and if there is how to differentiate them.
I'm looking to buy a N900T in ebay but only a couple listing actually mention LTE capabilities, while a lot of the listings mention 3G capabilities, so I'm a bit confused here.
I can't find any info on different versions of the N900T, and all the info I've found points to all N900T being one model with LTE capabilities. is this correct?
thanks

Yes I'm aware that the N900T is the t-mo version, and that is the one I am interested in as I'm looking for bands 4 & 7 for use in Mexico with Movistar (B7); and Telcel (B4).
So if I read your response correctly ALL note 3 have support for LTE, Bands depending on specific model?
thanks

For Telcel - you would be better getting the N900w8 Canadian/Mexican version -- This version also has the ability to root without tripping KNOX and upgrade/downgrade to/from 4.4.2/4.3 - Which is nice -- Check out @polish_pat's guide over on the international Note 3 forum if you decide to opt for this model :good:
EDIT: Side note, not ALL note's support LTE - N900 Exynos do not support LTE as they have a different CPU.

Thanks for the suggestion, but besides the point that N900W are much harder to find, my main carrier is Movistar, Telcel is my "backup" mainly for my mifi liberate hotspot. I also travel frequently to the usa so I have a prepaid T Mobile SIM I also use, so for my scenario I think the N900T is the best option.
thanks

Some countries don't use it I guess - Samsung introduced the Exynos on the S4 I think, and done a Qualcomm model also which we know as Snapdragon 800 with LTE

I use my T-Mo unlocked Note 3 in Mexico on both T-Mobile and Telcel with no issues. I get LTE speeds with Telcel. I wasn't aware Movistar had LTE yet, but I only use them if I need a throwaway phone, which given my lack of illegal activity is never.
edit - I'll post a video on Youtube later of my Note 3 on Telcel's LTE using speedtest.net

The SM-N900T Note 3 supports bands 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), and 8(900)
The B series LTE bands supported are B4 (1700/2100) and B17 (700)
It doesn't look like there is much of anything you can do since the SM-N900T doesn't support the LTE bands that are used in Asia.
