One of the guys on the MT4GS board travels to China routinely. He uses China Unicom and gets 3g/4g speeds with his mt4gs. Should work well with the tmo us GN2.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I use Unicom with TMo Note 2 in China, and it works well.

thanks, do they offer prepaid options over there, and how are they like (in term of data allowance and stuff )
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
You can purchase prepaid cards there, like airports or malls.
Do you know any that offer unlimited data I mean I am going to be taking a lot of pictures and would love to have them sync automatically to my dropbox like I do over here

Just got back from China with note 2....bought a China mobile sim and it worked fine. They offer reasonably priced data plans and service is pretty stable. Don't forget to take advantage of free Wi-Fi there, you can enter the new phone number from China mobile sim to activate it at most places (ie Starbucks)
What cities will you be in?

that's the point of unlocked phones
if China is 5G then your N2 can't see that kind of signal...but it still sees 4G-LTE and below
it just like N7000...international version but work just fine here....yet never sees 4G-LTE on its bar

People should really get out of the habit of using marketing catch-phrases with "G's" in them. There is no 3G or 4G. There is HSPA+ and there is LTE. GoPhone does NOT offer LTE service (yet), but you WILL get HSPA+ service.
Who is the video on hspa+ is like tmobile or faster

I work for AT&T, the largest Gophone data plan right now is 1GB. If you stuck a Gophone SIM in the N2, there's a chance the data wouldn't even work. I've heard this from many customers with various smartphones. Talk and text works but data doesn't. Not sure why. But as stated, no LTE for Gophones right now.

I have an att note 2. And I will be moving to the united kingdom in a few months. Is it possible to use a carrier there with my i317? With some software and a sim card? Or will I have to get a new phone?
If so what carriers will work?

Your speeds wont be as good considering they run on different bands. I suggest trading for an n7100 or n7105 before you go

If it only has 3g your good. From my latest experience with an n7105 and i317 having the n7105 here gives you a gb2 with 3g and having an i317 gives you 3g in England

How did you get it unlocked so fast, through T-Mobile? Just wondering, I also paid full price for mine.
Does the T-mobile Note 3 have the 850 MHz LTE band (like the ATT one does)?

T-Mobile wouldn't give me a lock code. They said I had to wait 30 days.

I guess it does cuz I'm getting att LTE on the Tmobile note. I used cellunlocker.net and got my unlock code in about 15 minutes for 25.00.

How well would my s4 work on the AT&T network? Thinking of making the switch only because TMO has very bad coverage @ my place of employment and zero coverage @ my new home. Please do consider that I will apply the appropriate compatible radios/rom(s) for ATT.

Yes.
You have to SIM unlcock it. There is a guide around here somewhere. It's really easy.
Do not switch radios. Let me say that again. Do not flash an AT&T radio. You will not be happy.
OK thanks. I appreciate it. I've subscribed to the sim unlock topic, just need to do it. And I wont be flashing the radio!

Walmart Family Mobile cap the data speed to 1MB for download and for 1MB Upload. I was thinking about switching to Family mobile and a Friend of mine has it so i took his sim and put it in my NOTE3, it show 4g Lte on the phone but like i said download data speed doesn't pass 1mbps. I tried both Tmobile APN and Walmart Family Mobile APN and was getting the same 1mbps download speed. In the same spot with my Tmobile sim, I was getting 20mbps down and 8mbps upload. BTW I have Tmobile $30 plan.
