switching carriers/sim on the weekends / vacation? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

t-mob connection is good to me here in nyc, but i just bought a cabin down in poconos, pa where data connection is at edge at best.horrible data connection.
anyone know of any options that would let me setup an account with another carrier for daily use with my unlocked, rooted tmob note 2?
i sh1t on verizon all the time, but this makes me realize how superior their network is, as i see people here with their 4g lte connections.
i would hate to get rid of my grandfathered 4g lte plan. anyone in the same boat ?
thanks

[Q] verizon 3g on epic 4 sprint

hello everyone i have a problem with 3g not being able to work on a flashed sprint to verizon phone. i tried many different prls. also could someone tell me how to get rid of the activation message from sprint it keeps popping up thanks
It's not the prl that gives u 3G. You have to have a EVDO VZW PRL but if you don't manually program in the correct info it don't matter. The sprint auto activation will go away after you make a call. Not right away but it will

Yes. It'll work fine with AT&T. It'll also work on T-Mobile just fine. If you don't plan on talking much, T-Mobile has a $30 prepaid plan with 100 minutes, unlimited text, and 5GB of data before throttling (it's unlimited EDGE afterwards).
hi i would want unlimted talk and text and atleast 2gb of highspeed data? would my phone att 4g data?

LTE isn't available on any GSM prepaid carrier as of yet. Try H20 wireless or Red Pocket (they run on AT&T) or T-Mobile prepaid.

3G not working on SGH-T999 in Europe

Hi guys,
I bought a t-mobile samsung galaxy s3 lte in the states when I was travelling around earlier this year.
I am now back in Norway, and I only get EDGE-speed on the phone, and i know the phone supports 2100mhz wcdma.
During the last weeks I have googled and tried everything for finding a solution, so posting here would be the last attempt to fix the phone before buying a s4.. (International, will never buy a us-version again)
When i select wcdma in the settings the status bar shows the "no-signal"-picture. When i then try to search for networks it gives me the "error while searcing"-message.
Things I've tried:
-Rooted the phone and tried all versions of the sgh-t999 modems which has been uploaded on xda-dev.
-Tried about every custom rom that is available for the phone.
-punching *#2263# and select wcdma int-2000 (This is 2100mhz i hope)
-imei no is still there
So I really hope someone can have a solution for me here. I really love fixing gadgets, but this thing is killing me. Starting to think this could be a hardware issue. GSM is working, so that didnt give any sence either..
Hoping someone out there have a solutions for configure the phone for wcdma2100 or something.
Looking forward to hearing from you wise people! http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/cowboy.gif
Who is your service provider? I'm almost positive it will not work, and if you bought the phone earlier in the year you didn't buy the LTE version you bought the regular S3 with HSPA+ capabilities only.

Service provider is Telenor, and you're right it wasnt lte. Why wouldnt it work? the phone is quad band, and do support wcdma 2100.
Could it have to do with the apn?

Unfortunately no.. I have added the right apn-settings. Even so 3g phones are capable of registering on 3g networks without correct apn settings, you just cant transmit data packages.

Hi Boxinom, your problem might be out-dated but even though I post the reply so that it could help others I encountered the same problem in Poland with my T999 from US T-Mobile. Only EDGE worked and the most strange was that every time I switched from WCDMA int-2000 to GSM 900 and then back to WCDMA int-2000 (eg using *#2263#) the phone used to receive 4G signal for a while (I used Network Signal Info app to monitor it), used to show 4G on the title bar and HSPA or HSDPA network type in Network Signal Info. Afterwards 4G signal showed by Network Signal Info used to weaken gradually and after a couple of seconds the phone used to lose the 4G coverage at all and used to switch to EDGE. This ensured me that T999 US TMO is capable to work in WCDMA/UMTS 2100 band. After a long time of struggling finally I have found a solution. I had restored NV data backup from a T999L into my T999 and after restart my phone has started to work in 4G permanently I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344627&page=34 and found there the NV data backup file from T999L. Obviously I have created the backup of my original NV data before and I strictly advice you to do the same. On the end just one word of explanation: 3G in Europe (3G, H, H+) is called 4G in US. Hope this let others solve that problem with 3G/4G in Europe as well. Good luck. Michal
