No.
U have to at least unlock it.
Then go to specs of AT&T vs T-mobile frequencies. See what's supported. And then u'll see the light.

It will work as long as you first get it sim unlocked then flash the Tmobile Radio. Then you'll get Tmo's 4G.

I have both phones, an ATT SGS3 and the T-mobile Note 2. The SGS3 will work on TMO, but you get Edge data, not 4G. I don't know if you can actually unlock the TMO radio to get 4G. I don't that the phone actually has it and so far haven't found anyone that's done that.

I'm hoping you fellas will help me out here.

I'm buying an unlocked T-mobile Galaxy s3 from a really nice guy. I'm on AT&T, and would like to A) confirm it will work on HSPA+, and B) I would like to know how to go about setting it up on the Medianet plan.

Someone may correct me but I don't think HSPA+ will work on ATT. They use different frequencies. If you had the international SGS3, HSPA+ would work on ATT.

OK thank you, I'll pass on the GS3, I'll just keep my iphone

It works. T-Mobile s3 has the frequencies needed. My s3 is T-Mobile unlocked and using it with at&t.

+1. The T999 supports 850/1700/1900/2100 for HSPA+. Therefore it will work on Atts H+. I use both T-Mobile and straight talk on my t999.

I assume that is something to do with at&t if so, you would have a better chance asking there.

[Q] Does T-Mobile note2 work with at&t lte or hspa?

Guys,
I so want to buy the note 2 like today. However T-Mobile has no coverage in my area. If I buy the phone at full price I can get it unlocked. Am just wondering if T-Mobile note will work on at&t lte Or hspa+.

The phone does support HSPA+ on AT&T out the box since the bands are included. The phone also has T-Mobile LTE frequency as well, but is said to be locked down by software since T-Mobile does not have LTE up and running yet. I believe T-Mobile and AT&T do use the same frequency for LTE. Only way to know if someone unlocks their device and puts in an AT&T sim.

According to AnandTech review it WILL support ATT LTE. So how does a non-Tmobile user unlock this phone??? I want to use on ATT.
From the review...
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6386/samsung-galaxy-note-2-review-t-mobile-/9
One of the most interesting things about the Galaxy Note 2 on T-Mobile is that it literally is the same hardware as the AT&T Note 2 with LTE. Sure, the model number is different, but the T-Mobile Note 2 includes support for LTE bands 17 (which AT&T uses) and 4 (AWS, which AT&T has specced devices out for and T-Mobile has confirmed it will deploy LTE on). This is to my knowledge the first T-Mobile handset with overt LTE support, and thus a solid future-proof purchase if you’re determined to have a T-Mobile handset that will work with the carrier’s upcoming LTE on AWS plans.
In addition, if you unlock the handset there’s no reason it shouldn’t work on AT&T’s LTE network that I can see. I managed to unlock the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 but not before leaving the AT&T LTE market in Dallas. It does however work as expected on WCDMA 1900 in my own market on AT&T after unlocking.

Will the Note 2 work on streight talk as well?

I'm curious if the note II would work on att's 3g network. I'm with Sprint atm but I'm constantly roaming due to poor coverage so I'm assuming it won't be long till they nix my contract and paying $100+ for limited data is just ridiculous to me so I was going to go with TMobile but they only have.edge coverage around here no 3g so I was hoping if I went with TMobile I could use AT&T towers and actually have a decently priced plan with real service.

Im in the same boat im going thru the same thing I have both simplemobile/tmo and Att for work and i played with the international version and ofourse it was fine with my Att sim i didnt try my simplemoble/tmo sim at the time but im hearing the tmo version is exactly like the att and international one so imma just use my work phone/att to save some money(I use google voice so it doesnt matter what phone i use same number) and plus im suppose to get a discounted price so lets say i can possible be very happy this weekend!! but imma take the chance all the info i read states it will work with Att hspa+network so well see soon! if nobody tries it before me...

I took the plunge...
I bought the TMOB version
Cellunlocker.net unlocked it (I selected the international note 2 option)
Pooped in my at&t sim

thanks.

LTE band might just be software locked since T-Mo has yet to get LTE, FCC filings showed LTE capability. YMMV

So how does one unloxk that?

Hacked radio. Prob be a while for that though. Need att radio drivers most likely.

additional evidence that it's LTE enabled (technically)

Make sure your using the right APN....... if your not using the right APN you won't get lte
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Most likely your going to need the At&t radio just how At&t note 1 worked on t-mobile 4g by flashing the radio... maybe even a full on rom from at&t version since all the phones now come with the same hardware

[Q] Rogers S3 on Bell network?

I just did a quick search, and couldn't find the exact answer (probably not using the right search terms).
If I got a Rogers S3, what needs to be done for it work on the Bell network?

You'll need to unlock the network first.

Rogers to Bell s3
Once unlocked, download selfserve and also make sure you have a Bell LTE MicroSim.
Than happy rooting or whichever way you decide to go!

Root. Unlock. Lte sim. Lte data plan. Lte provisioning.
I have the same thing. Rogers s3 on bell/virgin. Tho I an having issues with Lte but I think its a tower in my area.

wow you made that sound difficult could have just left it at unlock network and been done with it! You don't have to root first either.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium

No you don't have to root lol just unlock.
But for Lte to work you need to make sure you have you correct data plan, sim card and provisioning.

[Q] Questions about unlocking and more.

I have an iPhone 5 and I'm on AT&T and have it up for trade.
Someone has a tmobile note 2 and wants to trade
He said he can get them both unlocked. And the tmobile will work fine
On AT&T.
My questions are will it work and if I want to flash custom Roms will this mess up the unlocking?
I have searched all over and can't tell some people say everything but LTE works and some say not.
It's confusing. I need the phone to work on AT&T and not have to worry about messing up the unlock.

It should still be unlocked but you should get the code just in case.

Once it's unlocked, it's unlocked.

Just make sure that note is fully paid for or you may end up with blacklisted phone

I would just say, not sure specifics but who in the right frame of mind would trade away a GNII for an I phone 5... just sounds 2 good to be true, especially with all the horror stories out there...

Unlocked tmo note 2 with att sim card is not worth it. You will not get att lte service or gps. My cousin had a tmo GNote2 with att sim and it drove him crazy note having lte and gps. No fix around it, find urself an att GNote2. Best of luck
