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!

I use my T-Mobile gs4 on AT&T, but be sure to check your APNs, otherwise you might not be getting LTE.

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...

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
So I am looking at purchasing a T-mobile s4 from a friend of mine and I was curious if after I sim unlock the phone is the phone itself compatible with Att I understand T-mobile started using Att bands just wanted to make sure before I bought the phone.

Yes, it will work.
You're actually better off getting the T-Mobile S4 as the new batch of AT&T S4s have their bootloader locked and can only achieve root, no custom recovery or ROMs.

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)?

I used this site http://www.unlockunit.com/
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.

I'm getting LTE using TMO on AT&T no problems. And I didn't perform any lte hacks. Or AWS mod. Mine just quirks...:thumbup:

I purchased my phone unlocked. Presumably, with the method described in another thread. I performed the AWS Mod to get LTE on my SGH-I317 with T-Mobile.

You only need the aws mod to enable HSDPA+ on the 1700mhz band. LTE works out of the box.

Aren't they downsizing the AWS 3G? I didn't even bother doing the mod when I used an ATT Note 2 on T-Mo.

You are correct they are upgrading 1900mhz for their HSDPA+. In some areas that has not been completed yet though. If you do any traveling the mod would be helpful.
