I have the AT&T model of the Note 4 using a nano-sim in an adapter from an iPhone 5. The nextgenphone APN built into the phone wouldn't connect to any cellular data and I had to manually enter the APN for the HSPA+ to get "4G".
Do I need to get a new SIM card for it? It came with a micro-sim but I've yet to use it because I had the other SIM which worked fine in other phones.

The Sprint version is being advertised as an international phone, and comes with a Sprint SIM card pre-installed, and what appears to be a security strap, making it difficult to remove.
Before traveling internationally, you can call Sprint ahead of time to have them active their SIM card, and for the low low price of $1.99/minute, you can use overseas GSM networks to make phone calls, and in many cases, data access.
Of course I'd like to buy a pay-as-you-go SIM card and install that for much more reasonable rates while overseas, but I'm not sure if it's as simple as plugging in a different SIM card.
I had read that the Rogers version of the phone required...something to active the SIM slot, and even then seemed not to work for data via 3G.
Anybody else have the Sprint version? Played with GSM yet?
I'm a little apprehensive to start tearing into it to remove their SIM card just yet...
The GSM is 2G only, no 3G.
Well my buddy has a AT&T sim card that i put in my TP2 but it did not work. I switch the phone to GSM only but it did not pick up a network. I also put that sprint sim on his phone but it had no network either. According to the manual its lock from going to a gsm network on the USA.

Hopefully a custom ROM can unlock the ability to use GSM networks in the United States!

good to know.
I read in the manual that it was not usable on US GSM networks too, but I assumed that was because they never intended for you to remove the Sprint SIM card, so of course the Sprint SIM card wouldn't work domestically.
So it seems the Sprint phone can be unlocked for GSM just like the Telus phones, but I haven't read of any success getting GSM 3G to work w/ an unlock code.

What about EDGE?
Check the specs, if it said gsm 850,1900 it should be able to use with in the US. Just have to sim unlock it first in order to use.

So I am using the Tmobile Galaxy S2 T989 with Magic Sim 28th Gen Non-cut dual sim adapter and even though the adapter works fine and I can switch sims, I get "Invalid Sim" when I try to use wifi calling on Tmobile Sim. Does having the dual sim adaptor break Wifi calling? I have tried factory reset, wipe data, cache and all the usual stuff but no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks....

I am also planning to buy a dual-sim adapter. Were you able to find any solutions to make wifi calling work also?
Thanks
I was told told with the software update you need a new Sim card for wifi calling... I had to get a new one from TMobile

I just moved over to t-mobile - so my sim is brand new. However - i get the invalid sim message as soon as wifi calling tries to start when using the magicsim. Its fine without.
Any ideas?
Update?
Were you able to fix this? I've got a cheap $5 eBay dual SIM adapter with a new T-Mo SIM and I'm getting ER05 when I try to activate Wifi calling.
Jamie
Nope, there is no solution to this problem. I guess the dual sim adaptor forms a layer between Tmobile SIM and the phone and thus the SIM can't identify itself properly. Hope someone finds a solution for this....
So i have a Rogers i747M unlocked and im using it on AT&T. I know the LTE bands are the same but I can't get the LTE to work on it. Is it even possible ? I can't change the "APN Type" on the i747M like the AT&T version can. Do i need a real AT&T micro sim ? Do i need to flash the modem (already know that it might kill the imei if i flash a AT&T modem onto it) ? Do i need a real Smartphone data plan ?
If anyone has got the i747M LTE working on AT&T please post your setup, apn settings, sim card, and any other things you did to get LTE working.
Thanks!

All you should have to do is ADD the AT&T APN and YES you'll need the LTE plan, no more flying under the radar with $10 per month data

i cant add the exact apn settings, the "apn type" field is only a 3 button choice on the i747M, whereas the i747 (AT&T version) has a text box the for "APN Type" that you can type anything in.
ive also tried another AT&T micro sim from another active i747 in my canadian S3, and still no LTE ....
i didnt dare try my cut dumbphone sim in that S3 though lol....
update SIM

Hi! I had a similar problem, I kept getting HSPA+ only and then I realised my SIM wasn't LTE "ready". I went to a Virgin mobile store (or ATT in your case) and asked for an LTE capable SIM. 5$ later I had 22mbps download and 13mbps Upload speeds
Edit: this method works for everyone it seems. SOME HAVE REPORTED SLOWER T-MOBILE DATA SPEEDS AFTER APLLYING THIS UNLOCK. This has only been reported a few times and it seems like flukes. I however, nor the OP in the linked thread are responsible for wjat YOU chose to do to your device. You have been warned.

What was the default value of "Perso SHA256 "....I changed mine to off but forgot to check the original value...original value should be in Perso SHA256 Flag info
Seemed to work with verizon sim. No longer get the input sim unlock number, but obviously no signal.

It got a signal. But could not pick up carrier or anything just had signal and said searching in notification bar.
But verizon is CDMA so it did not supprise me.
I see that the LTE radio bands are in there, no surprise there. But I also see WCDMA radio bands too. Does that mean that our Galaxy Note 2 have WCDMA radio too? Or is this just an firmware that Samsung uses across all Galaxy Note 2 devices?
I need to try this I have a at&t sim card.

I think we have CDMA also....not that it does much for us as verizon and sprint require the imei to be loaded into their systems.
WCDMA != CDMA by the way. WCDMA is 3G/4G GSM (aka UMTS)
CDMA is a competitor to GSM. It is used by mainly North American and Japanese/Chinese cell phone companies.
I know Verizon and Sprint in the US and AU in Japan use CDMA. Most of the world uses GSM.
All though thinking about it while we may have the CDMA radio, assuming it is the same chip as the GSM and LTE radio then they may have just not sokdered the connections. Seen that before with FM radios built into the bluetooth chip on the Atrix 4G
Which of the bands are our 4G?
Love learning.

Our 4G is UMTS band 4 (1700/2100) same as our 3G. We dont have LTE yet so no *true* 4G
Sweet.
Thank you.
No problems. This kinda stuff is my hobby. Maybe some day I can get a job at a cell phone company as a technician or something.
I can confirm this works, but I could not get data. I got signal and a carrier name with both an AT&T sim and a Straight Talk (AT&T) sim. It would not load APNs, and I don't have the APN for regular AT&T so I tried with the Straight Talk, put in their APN and still got no data. Neither sim is active currently. It did allow me to call 611 on both sims.

If neither sim is active then I dont think it will allow data. Not sure though.

I am a little confused? Cricket can take your vzw phone and flash it to work on their network. What do they have or know that the devs at xda don't know?

The Verizon Note 4 is SIM unlocked. All it needs to work on Cricket is a Cricket SIM (and possibly adjusted APN settings for data and MMS). There's no flashing of any kind involved.
Um not mine,tried all carriers Sim cards the only one that worked is a old tmobile Sim from germany.

Then either something is wrong with the SIM cards you were using, the settings are off, or your device is defective. The Verizon Note 4 is SIM unlocked. There are plenty of threads on the forum where people talk about using it with AT&T, T-Mobile, and prepaid carriers.

cricket up and running on mine (vzw sm n910v) had to manually enter network apn to enable data , but phone worked upon sim insertion. It registered as an AT&T sim and I received an error message stating it wasn't a Verizon sim card but noone at cricket was needed to receive service.
