How to activate unlocked Not 3 on US Cellular?

I just got a factory unlocked Note 3 SM-N9000 from an online retailer. I was told by the seller that I should be able to just swap the sim card from my Galaxy s4 to the new Note 3 without any issues. Of course this is not the case. I took it to a US Cellular retailer to see if they can activate it and they said it cant be done.
Is there a trick to get this to work or am I out of luck?
Thanks for any help.

Sorry but as far as I know US Cellular is CDMA not GSM so you are out of luck.

[Q] Moved to Canada and not getting mobile data with N900a on Telus

Hello, I tried searching for 2 hours and trying some basic things but to no avail. Sorry if there is a solution on the forums as I can usually find them for my Droid 1 and S3 in the past, but I am having trouble so I thought I would post.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 N900a which is the AT&T variant. It is unlocked and I just moved to Canada. I was given a work phone which is a Galaxy S4 on Telus network. Since I have my Note 3 that is unlocked I figured I would just use it. I first went to Telus website to check the IMEI and it said that it would work on the voice and LTE network that Telus uses. After I put the SIM card in I could then use it to make voice calls but I wasn't getting mobile data. I actually did not notice at first because I downloaded all my usual apps and such using WiFi immediately.
After I noticed I went online to check the specific LTE network that Telus uses and if it was actually supported on the AT&T version n900a. As far as I can tell it is and its 1700.
Is it a problem with AT&T's software? At any rate I would prefer that it worked with out having to install a different kind of software like CM because if I do that I can't sync to my companys intranet. But in the end I like the note and I will do that if it is the only solution.
other info:
Android Version 4.3
Kernel Version 3.4.0-1625098
I will answer any questions for more info if need be. Thank you for your time.

Have you checked your APN settings?
As far as I can tell, your CSC does not match up with Canadian providers. So you have to try changing your APN, or CSC to get data.

Thanks for the quick reply. Now I will search as to what those are and how to change them lol.

Hi,
Same problem with my n9005, not supporting Moroccan 3g. Posted over and over but no definitive answer yet.
Was told to flash a new modem, a new csc, a new rom, but which one is safe and how to flash it, sincerly, I couldn't have much help for this.
I know that there is more canadians here than moroccans to help on this, so best luck

Thank you very much for the APN buzzword. Using Telus' website I was able to find the correct APN to get 4G. No LTE but I can definitely live with the speed. In the end my phone was trying to use the wrong APN and I had to manually create a new one with the correct values.
What does CSC mean? To change that would I need to root the phone? Also is there an easy way to figure out what I would need to change it to?

4G and LTE are just two different ways to say the same thing. If your GN3 displays 4G, then you are connected to an LTE network.

What springer said, 4G == LTE.
CSC is what stores carrier specific files, apps, carrier settings and bloat.

Oh ok cool. The only reason I said was because I normally have 18 Mbps on my S4 but on note 3 i was pulling 4 mbps. I see that it just varies. Either way thank you for the tips. As soon as I knew what to actually search for I found a solution quickly.
I also hope that you find what you are looking for in Morocco my friend.

>LCTII thanks bro.
Glad you solved your gn3 problem.

Galaxy S7 Edge Doesn't Display LTE?

Hi Friends,
I'm on the Canadian side. Bought the phone with Wind Mobile, had to activate with their SIM, but then unlocked it with an unlocking code Wind provided like two hours after.
I'm now on Telus network, but the phone does not show LTE. I do recall it showing 4G/LTE when I was using the Wind sim.
Anyone have any solutions? Suggestions?

Anyone? Many thanks

Does telus has LTE? Wind doesn't have LTE, it has 4g...i am on rogers... Just another question.. Do you have Mobile Data toggle? I don't hve it.

Yes Telus has LTE. Wind doesn't. I'm using the same SIM card I used on the iphone 6, and the iphone 6 displays LTE no problem with this SIM.
I don't think I have mobile data toggle.

Did you try changing the CSC to Telus? Maybe the fact that it's a wind phone disables the LTE. Just thinking out loud.

I haven't tried that but very possible that could be the solution. Do you mind letting me know how I would go about doing that? Having stayed away from androids for 2 years now makes me basically an idiot rookie.

Sure thing! You need to go in your dealer and dial *#272*(insert imei)# this will take you to the csc page. If you don't know what your imei is dial *#06# and write it down. Make sure you write down the first 15 digits as it might give you 2 extra. (after a dash of course)
Once you're in there you should see your csc as GLW I think that's the wind one. If what you want is Telus then select tls.
If it's already tls leave it. That's won't resolve your issue.
***Warning***
This will wipe your device
Hope that works for you bud :thumbup:

Your phone supports LTE+. All Canadian Galaxy s7 edge models are same regardless of carrier and contain all network bands offered by the respective carriers. I believe Roger's offers 4g if I'm not mistaken which is quite similar to LTE+. If you want LTE+ just change your CSC to BMC and put in a bell Sim card as long as your phone is unlocked. Then u will get LTE+.

I337 on Cricket Wireless

if i use the ZTE Z813 that i got for free or basically free when signing up for cricket i always get LTE. when i put my sim in my older Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 16GB AT&T Branded phone (stock rom OC3) i get mostly EDGE. if i reset may data connection i will get LTE for a while but then always seems to revert to EDGE. i get nothing in between. is there some reason why i can get consistent LTE on my Galaxy 4? Could I have some setting wrong? maybe phone is faulty. the light up buttons on bottom no longer work. should i replace S4 with S5? Should I get consistent LTE using S5 on Cricket? Thanks for suggestions.
