With USA bands or is it like EU sm-9005? Wondering because it might be best chance to get an unlocked note3 compatible with USA lte and hopefully/possibly no carrier bloat.
2 things:
- None of the Canadian carriers operate on the same list of LTE frequencies, as US carriers do. There is some overlapping, but other than Sprint, all other major US carriers operate on more than 1 LTE band, and you will only get partial match. For example, AT&T uses bands 4 and 17. There are some Canadian carriers, that use band 4, and there is one that uses 17. No carriers support both bands. Here is a full list of LTE bands by carrier:

- I've read that Canadian carriers are supposed to get Note 3 only in February '14
Date I've heard here in Canada is October 4/13

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?
Hello All,
I had always thought the Verizon Galaxy Note 3 only supports 2 LTE bands - 4 and 13 - but I just realized something. When accessing the service menu (*#27663368378#) and then doing the following: UE Setting and Info - Setting - Protocol - NAS - Network Control - Band Selection - LTE Band Preference, the choices of LTE bands given are the following:
LTE B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B17, B20, LTE ALL.
Does this mean (or am I safe to assume) that the Verizon Galaxy Note 3 indeed supports LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17, 20, and 13 (of course - Verizon LTE band 13)?
And if it does, would this allow for international LTE usage on various carriers that support these above bands?
Looking answer to the same question

Hello all, I'm also looking answer to the same question, can someone more knowledgeable please answer us? Thanks in advance.
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.
