You won't be able to use the Verizon Note 2 on T-Mobile.

Why not. On their site it said my phone was compatible, all I need to do is put their sim card in and switch the apn.

I thought the Verizon version was locked down and has to be unlocked by Verizon. Are you rooted right now?
This thread seems to show that it works. Dunno about LTE connectivity but it looks like it works for HSPA.

Some phones (made for specific carriers) have both CDMA and GSM capabilities, ie. the Verizon Note 2, iPhone 5
I am rooted..found out lastnight they are partially sim unlocked because you cant get LTE connectivity unless you fully unlock it.

Some have one. The VZW one does. I think it is specifically for roaming as the device is definitely gsm capable.

It's for the LTE network on Verizon. The SIM card had all the LTE sign in information and for foreign sim cards when global.
Having said that the Verizon note 2 is already sim unlocked (you do need root to change apns). You will get edge data and if you're in areframed t mobile you'll get HSPA, I'm honestly not sure about LTE.
I know this because I've owned both and was very active in the Verizon forum as well. I also thought about this exact move, but choose to sell my Verizon and buy atmo version. Better compatibility and wifi calling

Looks like AT&T's LTE. But can an AT&T Note 2 work on T-Mobile's 42mbps data connection? T-Mobile doesn't have LTE, yet.

In other words you're wondering if it's like the skyrocket, which the radio supported LTE but also had dual channel HSPA (21x2, hence your 42Mbps). All you had to do was switch modems...
Would be interesting to actually know... On way to a wake, don't feel like looking it up now...

You need to change your APN to the ATT LTE and make sure it's set to LTE/GSM. Got a friend's T-Mo S4 up and running on ATT.. everything works flawlessly.

If you "found" it, then yes you should do the right thing and try to get it back to them. In any case, if/when the owner reports it as lost or stolen, the IMEI would be blacklisted and you'd have a useless GS4.
Yeah that's true. Well it don't matter i got my nexus 4 and Motorola Atrix HD all running official CM10.2

I'm sure this has been covered, but I'm not finding it. Is the One SIM unlocked out of the box? I'm traveling to Spain tomorrow and VZW is telling me it will work, just slap in a local SIM card. I really don't want to wait until I'm over there to find out. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance!

The local sim you use will have to be on a like network to vzw, don't think it will work on gsm network.
Sent from my 4G LTE HTC One
That's what I thought too, but I made it clear to the rep that it would be a gsm service. I guess if all else fails I can buy an unlock code and have it emailed to me.

I wanna say it has to be unlocked now... May need to change VPN settings but I think all of the new set phones can be used on gsm carriers. Not sprint though.

Forgive me, do you mean it should already be unlocked? I don't really care about data, but I'm going to need it to make local calls. I just don't want to get there and then not be able to do anything with it.

This is correct, its part of the contract that Verizon made: All LTE phones using the 700MHz band have to be SIM unlocked.
SIM is definitely carrier unlocked. In London now using a 3 SIM with no issues.
It is SIM unlocked. I'm currently using it on T-Mobile in the US.

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)?

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!
