I will most likely use this phone on Simple Mobile which uses tmobiles towers so the obvious choice would be the tmobile version, but would i benefit in any way by getting the unlocked version? Who is the unlocked version branded by? I dont want to make a mistake because a month ago i was about to get the unlocked iphone for my girl and run it on simple mobile until thankfully you guys tipped me off that the unlocked iphone was actually an at&t branded phone and will not get 4g speeds on simple mobile.
So, who is the unlocked version of the gs3 branded by? And which one should i get, tmobile gs3 or unlocked gs3?
International Sgs3 is branded by Samsung. I believe you would not get 4g, because of the different frequencies. The other option would be the Korean version of the sgs3. I do not know if that works though.
T-mobile is gonna be updating their 1900mhz which means the international s3 will get 3g data and iPhone users same...

So let me get this straight, the international gs3 is the unlocked version?

Well in this case what is different between the tmobile version and the unlocked version. Im not understanding, sorry. If I get the tmobile version, would i be able to use it the same way the unlocked version can be used?

International is unlocked. It will not get anything more than 2G on tmobile.

I am looking to buy s4 but can't find Tmobile variant at cheaper price than compare to att version. I live in Chicago where I guess Tmobile has switched on the 1900 band. I think? If I were to purchase the att version would I get the same data speed as I would with Tmobile version. 4g or lte ? Please advise.

That's assuming you can even unlock it. I tried the other day and AT&T said that samsung hadn't provided the unlock codes yet.

i have a rooted note 2 on att i just got it unlocked and want it on tmobile i am wondering if i need to root it to tmobile? i saw a thread before and was wondering if someone could direct me back to it.
As far as I know it doesn't have to be rooted at all. It's important that it's unlocked. That's all.
I actually use my AT&T Note 2 (unlocked and rooted) in Germany (T-Mobile) and it works just fine.
You will most likely run into problems trying to update it OTA, but other than that it should work just fine.

Great! Thanks! How did you get the T-Mobile LG g3 early?
I bought one on swappa from a pre release winner. I would have gut one from tmoble if they had good service where i live.

This is a much better solution than the other way around as the tmo version has an unlocked bootloader
People on the forums want to do it the other way around... Whhhhhy lol. Wait a couple days and you can walk into a tmo store and get one.

It's only missing Band 5, both models have bands 4, 2, and 17, which are the primary US LTE bands anyway (outside of Verizon's Band 13 that is).
While technically the T-Mobile version is missing Band 30, the AT&T version is missing Band 30 as well.

It dropped already. Mine is on a UPS truck heading my way right now.
The T-Mobile one hasn't been rooted yet, though it apparently has an unlocked bootloader. The AT&T model has been rooted, but it appears the bootloader is locked down. Doesn't that suck?

Ya it does. the pre release t mobile phones were able to be rooted but the patched it already for the phone that are shipping now.
Unlocking the bootloader is harder then rooting for the most part. What im interested in is if the qi charging back from europe are working on the tmobile lg g3....they are not on the att g3. Can you test this!? that would be awesome
Hello,
to all of you.
My friend is coming from US, and He is taking a Note 4 from Verizon, I want to ask Can I use Verizon Note 4 in India without any problem? I have read that some LTE bands of India like 2300 MHZ is not listed on the website of Verizon, so I want to know Can I unlock these bands in Verizon Note 4? because I have seen that all the spec of both the version are same.Hope to see reply soon.
Thank you.

i´m currently using one in Colombia, LTE AWS (Band 4) with no other problem than the wifi tether not being able to work yet.
Check the specs in phonearena.com to see if your band is supported

Not sure but US vpn should do the job?
if spotify requires US IP then just get a cheap VPN.
if 500 MB is enough for you for "1" day you could download music offline then http://securitykiss.com gives 500MB/day free VPN.
Hola vpn change ur ip/or country but my trial period expire :crying: and i am not able
to pay with indian debit card so i need xposed installer for downloading
