[Q] samsung galaxy s4 with simple mobile????

I currently own a samsung galaxy s2 from tmobile and im using simple mobile. Now i want to buy a samsung galaxy s4 but i can't seem to find out if the tmobile samsung galaxy s4 will work with simple mobile. I'm planing to buy it from best buy so i was wondering if the tmobile s4 will work with simple mobile or the unlocked s4? If anyone know any kind of s4 that will work on simple mobile can you try and find a best buy link for it??. Thank you in advance

Yes, but only the tmobile version of the S4 since it has the 1700 band for both 4G and 3G that simple mobile requires

Not sure if you will get data

I unlocked my T-mobile Galaxy S 4 and now I am trying to use it on Red Pocket mobile. For the life of me I can not get data connection to work.
So I will be curious if you are able to get data connection to work. It seems there is some type of block on this phone and I have posted this in another thread and no one has yet responded with a solution.
I thought there would be many people purchasing the T-mobile phone then using it on AT&T towers to avoid the locked bootloader on the AT&T S4 however I can't not find much information if others are having success on using it on an AT&T mnvo service.

I have a S2 I bought from T-Mobile and use Simple Mobile and want to buy a S4 from T-Mobile also. T-Mobile won't sell the S4 to me outright because I don't have a plan with them. I am going to buy the Google S4 because the first thing I would do is debrand the T-Mobile S4. I really dislike the T-Mobile on/off noises and bloatware.

So I was wondering if this worked? I use a Simple Mobile SIM in my S2 without unlocking it, and when I cut and put the SIM Card in the S4 it detects that there's a SIM card, but there's no data and I can only do "Emergency Calls Only".
So my question is, do I have to get the phone unlocked to use it on Simple Mobile?

You need to get it unlocked.
To the previous poster you can buy a T-Mobile one they just don't give you a unlock code since you are not in their service.
If you downgrade the software you can unlock easily thru a workaround bug using the dialer or can buy a unlock code online.

How is 5x International version in the US?

I'm receiving a 5x this weekend, its the international version. Does anyone have experience with this version in the US on T-mobile? I know it doesnt have band 12, so thats my only concern.
Please share your experience, so I know if I should buy the US model instead
(got the 32gb for $250 during an ebay sale).

I got the international one on ebay for the same price. I'm on Cricket (AT&T network) in the US and it works great. I have had no issues at all.

Got the same deal at the same time. I'm on AT&T and it's perfect.

awesome! glad to hear this. Im excited, i feel i should have bought 2 though lol

Looking into this for a friend, does LTE work in general on the international version in the US? Tmo bands 2 and 4 should be supported according to the spec however I've seen a couple of comments indicating no luck with LTE the US.

did your 5x end up working ok for you on t-mobile? i'm making the same consideration of using the international version for US.

I'm using the international version in Florida on MetroPCS (Tmobile) and have had zero issues, despite the radio not supporting band 12. I had the same concern as well and decided to take a gamble with it. Glad I did!

Thanks for the feedback on this. The international version can be had for $100 less. I bought one for my kid and will be using it on US Mobile (T mobile). LTE would be nice but he gets a limited data plan of 250MB so it doesn't matter. $12/mo.
No more locked bootloader phones for us, ever; now that MM requires it for root. My US G4 will be stuck on LP...

I placed an order for my Note 8 using the Verizon website, they sent me an unlocked international version
Anyone else notice this?

I believe it is carrier unlocked yes

All the snapdragon phones are U, the unlocked version of snapdragon is U1.

Mine also says 950U for Sprint but under system updates, it says its locked to sprint sims only

All U.S. models of the Samsung Galaxy Note8 are SM-N950U .. as shown below:
SM-N950UZKAXAA - Unlocked
SM-N950UZKAATT - AT&T
SM-N950UZKATMB - T-Mobile
SM-N950UZKASPR - Sprint
SM-N950UZKAVZW - Verizon

Note 10+ Canadian Thread

Greetings;
I've pre-ordered an Aura Glow, 256 GB plus the Galaxy Buds as a free bonus! from Samsung.ca
The trade in program wouldn't work for me as OnePlus isn't included in the program.
Delivery August 23.

If I order an unlocked one from samsung.com, will it work here with Canadian carrier(Fido)? They are offering $600 US trade in for a Note 9, and samsung.ca is offering $380 CND? Really?

They're offering $0 on the s10 plus. Samsung US is also offering $600 for the Pixel 3 XL and its not o. The list. I entered my Pixel 3XL info as if it were a Pixel 3 and the offer was $130.
I tweeted Samsung Canada for some kind of answer and all I got was crickets! ???

Is it possible to order a US Note 10 from Canada? If they are unlocked, then they should be able to work here. AT $500 US after trade in its a MUCH better deal than here at $100 CND after (max)trade in.

got mine yesterday with the buds and damn this phone is nice.

I've got the unlocked Samsung.com version. Can I simply flash the Canadian firmware (want Samsung Pay) in Odin?

What deal did you get from Sam.com?

any cdn users with an F variant?
what's working and what's not working cdn carrier wise?
edit
anyways if anyone wants to try out a note 10 csc pack. please report any issues and save logs aswell.
make a backup first .

Canadian vs US variant
I can find pick up the US unlocked variant for the same price as the Canadian unlocked variant (including the exchange rate difference) and the US variant has some additional LTE bands that aren't currently used in Canada, but other than that is there any advantage of one variant over the other? Are firmware updates, Samsung Pay, etc. about the same on both phones?

You might miss out on some features like VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling. Depending on who you're wireless provider is. Other little things too. Like seeing 4G instead of LTE. It might be possible to flash the Canadian firmware but I don't know for sure. That still might not give you access to all the features I mentioned before.

I got my unlocked Note 10+ Aura from Best Buy when they had the trade-in deal, $400 if trading in a Note phone + $500 for my Note 9, so I got $900 in total with Best Buy's trade-in offer, I'm loving my Note 10+.

When we are the last in the world to get firmware updates and fixes, like right now, I miss international version and root so much.

I asked Samsung Canada via chat about possible October firmware that is supossed to give us security patch and native rcs supporting all providers on native SMS app (prefer it over Google app because I can pin important conversations), and fingerprint issue patch.
Was waiting to connect for a while.
They apologized for wait, apparently lots of people asking support. Told them what's up, they asked for imei, and asked me to wait,............ 20 min later... "did you try updating through settings?"
WTF!
Guess that explains long wait at the beginning.
Oh. Almost forgot. Samsung Canada mentions fingerprint patch only for s10, +, and e. The guy on chat also said. "Patch is coming to s10, 10+, 10e, 10 5g, note 10, 10+,...."... wait s10 5g? Dumbfounded. Talk about Canadian support
Turned off the chat.

Fingerprint update patch came out on the 24th of Oct. for me, Note 10 Plus model from Samsung experience store.

Got android 10 update on Canadian Galaxy Note 10+ SM-N975W today .

N975W and N975U1 are identical in hardware. The U1 firmware will work perfectly fine on the W and in Canada. Im currently running Android 10 star wars U1 firmware on W phone with Koodo. Everything works perfectly and APN was setup automatically. FYI for anyone who wants to flash using Odin. Just make sure your Note 10+ is unlocked first.

I'm with Fido, I see that the firmware has been on Sammobile from Monday but no updates as yet from Fido. Who are you with
