With verizon now opening up the LTE 4 band (AWS) on certain phones I was wondering if the Note 3 (on verizon) has this band available? The FCC website is down atm (thanks congress) so I can't check.
yes it does. s4 and note 3 are first to have i believe

If it's showing the same freq's in specs then possibly/probably
Hello there!
I reside in the UAE and recently bought a Note 3 4G LTE SM-9005 (Snapdragon Variant).
I will be moving to Chicago, USA and wanted to know if I will be able to use the 4G. I see that T-Mobile supports 2100MHz, 1900MHz, 1700MHz and 850MHz. The international Note 3, the one which I have supports 800MHz, 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 2600MHz. Seeing that I support one band, will 4G work on T-Mobile? Also, will 3G work? And if so, will the dual 3G work where I get 2 streams of 21MBPS?
If not on T-Mobile, will any other carriers work?
Thanks in advanced, Zain.
PS. I have read other forms but seem to get two answers, some say it will work and some say it won't. Just wanted some clarification.

I use my SM-N900W8 in Hong Kong and it is nearly, if not exactly alike as the SM-N900T. I can say that even in HK I get 4 - 5 bars of LTE, and worst case scenario I get 3 bars of 3G/H+
I also used an N9105 - Note II LTE, with the exact same bands as the SM-N9005 (the one you have), but the problem was that I couldn't get enough bars as my N900W8 did. The phone got really hot when it searched for reception (as it was usually at 2-3 bars), whilst at the same spot, I would get 4-5 on my N900W8. So to answer your question, yes, they should work, except your reception would be lower than an American banded phone.

Snapdragon is not the International version, your title is confusing. International version is Exynos and has no US LTE.

Actually, international is N9005, Snapdragon.
The Exynos edition is only being sold in select areas. Most people here use Snapdragon as it is easier to get, but most N900s are found in India. Hong Kong would only sell international phones, unlocked, and they are all N9005.
Regardless. If you have the 9005, you have the Snapdragon, and it should come with LTE, but may not contain the right bands for the US as Neo said above.

Region doesn't matter in fact I got my device from France, but had Hong Kong firmware on it. Later to get KitKat I flashed Poland firmware.
as for the bands T mobile mainly uses 1700MHz so you won't get LTE doesn't matter if you change the APN, I tried. You will get HSPA+ which isn't horrible, its enough to watch HQ YouTube videos.
idk about ATT though when I looked it up I remembered it being able to, but now that I look at doesn't look like it can...
few people says that n9005 is not compatible with bell but only with rogers.
but as for my research, bell and rogers both offers 1700/2100/2600 mhz LTE band.
apparently n900w8 version does not have 2600mhz frequency but n9005 does, which is a advantage over n900w8 i think,
and also both version of the phone only supports 2100mhz but no 1700mhz.
so i don't see why n9005 version of galaxy note 3 is not compatible with bell network.
is anyone using n9005 on bell network? is it just those few people have wrong information or theres something i just don't understand?
Thanks in advance guys
FYI,
LTE n9005– 800/850/900/1800/2100/2600mhz
LTE n900w8– 700/1900/2100mhz
Bell&Rogers both have these frequencies
HSPA+ : 850/1900mhz
LTE: 1700/2100/2600
Please I'd love to upgrade from H+ to 4G speeds on my new Note 3. I saw this was possible for the Note 1... any chance this is possible for the Note 3?

Apparently it does. Great news.

Confirmed my carrier uses that frequency for lte and I indeed get LTE. This phone is killer.
