[Q] Questions about Mobilicity and Wind's Samsung Galaxy S4.

Does anyone here know for sure whether the hardware is similar to T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy S4?
Does it come unlocked? If not, can I easily unlock it and use it on either Rogers' or Telus' LTE network?
Are there any carrier branding/software on Mobilicity or Wind's SGS4?
Is the bootloader unlocked for the phone?
Thanks!

[Q] AT&T Note 3 unlocked to use on tmobile aws bands

I know the AT&T note 2 and att galaxy s4 were unlocked to utilize tmobile's aws bands. I checked the specs of the AT&T note3 and it appears that technically that it can access those tmobile aws bands. Can somebody let me know if I buy an AT&T note 3, will I for certain in the future be able to access those tmobile aws bands if I install the correct baseband? Are there people working on this unlock?

[Q] AT&T friendly variants?

I currently have the AT&T variant of the galaxy s5 and I would like to get replacement that I can root, I know that most all variants are compatible on the gsm side but I would only want one that would be compatible with LTE on AT&T of course as well. Could someone please let me know the variants that would work on the LTE network for AT&T please. Thanks in advance!!

I suggest T-Mobile's variant, which is what I use on AT&T's LTE network with no problems.

[Q] Note 3 most Inter-operable with other networks

Hey all,
I have tried searching the internet exhaustively to find an answer to this question, but cant seen to get an answer.
I am currently a T-Mobile user, but am thinking of switching over to Verizon for better coverage while traveling in the US. I would like to purchase a used note 3, and don't know which of the variants is going to be best for me. I know that there are many variants including n900t, n900v, n900a, n9000, and n9005.
I have found a pretty good comparison of the frequencies here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3/313564-unlocked-t-mobile-version-most-inter-operable-other-networks.html.
But this does not answer my question. I understand that if I get the N900T, it will not have the ability to get the LTE Band 13 700 MHz frequency. But how much of verizons towers operate on this frequency as opposed to the other ones that the N900T can operate on?
In other word, between all of these models, which is the most inter-operable with BOTH T-Mobile and Verizon?

You cannot use a gsm phone on a cdma carrier.
The SM-N900T is a tmobile 4g/LTE GSM phone with an unlocked bootloader.
The SM-N900A is an AT&T 4g/LTE GSM phone with a locked bootloader.
The SM-N9005 is an international 4g/LTE GSM phone with an unlocked bootloader.
The SM-N900 is an international gsm 3g only phone (exynos based) with an unlocked bootloader.
The SM-N900V is a Verizon 4g/LTE CDMA/GSM phone with a LOCKED bootloader. (Same as the SM-N900P but with sprint)
In the US, T-Mobile is a GSM carrier, whereas Verizon is a CDMA carrier that uses gsm for LTE ONLY.
The only model that will work on both Verizon and T-Mobile is the SM-N900V, but you'll have to unlock it, and the bootloader is locked, so no tinkering outside of rooting.

Help with Galaxy S4 i337m (AWS)

I have a Galaxy S4 (i337m) that i enabled AWS on. I used it in Chile on the WOM network without any problems. However, when I got back to Canada, I swapped in my Mobilicity chip and found it couldn't get a signal. Searching for networks did nothing as I cannot connect to CAN Rogers INC and a "Unregistered SIM" message appears. To the best of my knowledge, both WOM Chile and Mobilicity operate on the AWS frequencies. Is there an extra step required or anything I can do get it running on Mobilicity? Any help would be appreciated. :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:

Does the mobilicity sim work in other phones?
Wasn't Rogers moving mobilicity customers to the Rogers network?

Yes, the SIM works fine on my S2 and G4 no problem. I know they're (Rogers) moving customers to their Chatr network, though I'm not sure if they will still be using AWS. Maybe that has something to do with it. The phone is originally from Rogers.

Rogers has never used aws and I doubt they will in the future.
