Galaxy Note on Simple Mobile.

I did a search and found nothing on the GT Note using simple Mobile.
Has anyone tried this as yet, and can you tell us what the speeds are like so far.
And what package did you go with.

Looks like they use T-Mobile's network, which means nothing over EDGE speeds.
I'm running one of the AT&T MVNOs on a trial basis and so far I have not been disappointed. I am loathe to give up my T-Mobile plan but unless there's a breakthrough in getting 1700/2100 AWS working on this thing I might have to make the move permanently.

AT&T GoPhone offers unlimited everything for $50 a month pay-as-you-go fyi.

Go phone sim cards are locked to the phone now. Unless you can convince AT&T to give you a new unlocked one it doesn't work.

I know this is old.....but just wanted to update it. I am using AT&T version with Simple Mobile now. The internet speed sucks big time. On speed test, i am consistently getting 25kb/s. With that speed, I am changing to the International Note next week....

You can flash a T-Mobile compatible modem on the AT&T version, if you're not aware.

So what are people doing now, then??
I want to goto 50$ month unlimited everything next month when my contract is up?
Is there a solution to STILL using ATT GO Phone plans with our GN7000's?
thanks.

You need Straight Talk with the AT&T sim.

What about this? As long as you aren't using any device which has ever been AT&T branded in any way shape or form (like an unlocked Note), this should work just fine!

if you mean the N5100 model, then yes, it has a phone
Sent from my GT-N5100 using xda premium

I've been trying to find the model number it Will be telus or bell Canada model..
I expect that they are the same or similar.
Thank you for the info.

Can't give you a difinitive answer one way or the other, but I notice that the one on the bell website is missing the ear speaker that my n5100 has. (It's a little silver strip of a speaker just above the samsung logo on the front) Not sure if this means it won't have the phone dialer etc., but it does mean that if you can make phone calls with it, they would have to be over a headset or on speakerphone. I can confirm that my n5100 with a bell sim can make phone calls just like a big (massive) phone.

Well they show it on the bell website as lte. All I'm really saying is that the one on the bell website is definitely NOT a n5100
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda premium

I believe that the Bell and Tellus models use the same frequencies as the USA AT&T models, which have the phone app and speaker removed. If you want telephony capability, make sure you get the N5100, which will run HPSA but not LTE. The phone is readily available on Amazon and Ebay.
Sent from my GT-N5100 using xda app-developers app

Yes the n5100 is wifi and 3g, the n5110 is wifi only, and the note n5120 is the lte 4g model. Ive just got my note 8 5100 im using it on vodaphone uk and im loving it. It does give me hand ache on long calls from stretching my hand to hold the phone, but i dont make that many calls. Its great being able to do everything with one device im LOVIN this tablet/massive phone!
Im gonna sell my note2 and ipad4 as they wont get used now i have this.

So the lte model has the phone app removed. .has anyone tried installing it.I read someplace they got the tab working as a phone. .

Im not 100% on this but im guessing the note 8 5120 lte/4g, supports calls just like the 3g version (n5100). With the note 2 there are 2 different versions a 3g note2 and a 4g lte note2 on the EE network... correct me if im wrong and it might vary in different countries im in the uk. But im guessing its the same with the note 8. A 3g version with calls (n5100), a wifi version(n5110), and a 4g version with calls(n5120)

I think you're correct, but I think there's another model, the at&t lte (sgh-i467?) This might be the one on the bell site. Not sure if it supports voice calls.

Iirc the tab needed a different modem to get voice calls working? I don't think it was as easy as just installing

I have spent 3 hours on the phone talking to telus and bell.. neither one can tell me the model number of the galaxy note 8 they sell. No one has it in stock to look at..
I Will call Rogers next...
This is painful
Thank you for the help

I can't answer definitively about what model Tellus or Bell sells, but the sgh i467 (ATT's LTE Note 8) definitely does not have telephony capability. I've seen it, and it does not make phone calls natively.

My 5120 which will arrive this week supports voice calls.

Ok the n5120 has telephony and LTE. The OP is specifically interested in Canada. I'm pretty sure- correct me if I'm wrong, the n5120's bands are not optimized for the USA. Are you saying that it will work well (LTE and HDSPA speeds) in Canada?
Sent from my GT-N5100 using xda app-developers app

Lte will not work, so save your money and get 3g version. Also Canadian model traditionaly is att + M (note my signature) , otherwise identical, so I guess any if Canadian providers will sell you lte data tab only.

I am in Japan right now and I can tell you it's not released, I couldn't even find it in Akihabara. I am pretty much the only person riding the subway with one right now.
If I heard correctly, it should release at the end of this month along with the Galaxy gear. (I couldn't find these either, in fact people were very surprised when they saw me receive my e-mails on my watch)

The 16GB HK version is available imported at Akihabara 「秋葉原」I would advise you to wait and get it from a Japanese carrier though.

Not the currently allocated spectrum, though some new frequencies are planned that aren't supported by international devices. Otherwise you can get LTE service from pretty much every carrier in Japan assuming you have the right SIM card in. Even KDDI although you can't place calls on it because it tries to switch back to the CDMA CS domain and the phone is only GSM/WCDMA/LTE compatible
(See the attached pic for my status on KDDI LTE network with the international note 3). Also KDDI LTE sucks in Tokyo because they only use a 5Mhz bandwidth. Better get Softbank, DoCoMo or emobile for a better service. Emobile doesn't have LTE cells in subway tunnels though while the other carriers do.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Excellent information, very useful. I'm not in Tokyo so subway coverage isn't a main concern. Is it even possible to buy an unlocked Note 3 in Japan? Emobile sounds interesting, never heard about them, the only non-traditional carrier I know is Willcom. My main usage will be as a PDA rather than a phone and I expect to use it as a mobile router and tether with tablets, Ultrabook and laptop, so a fast unrestricted mobile data plan is essential, back home my data volume hovered around 100 GB a month, geospatial database usage.

Emobile offers unlimited data service for rekatively cheap and can fall back to softbank 3G when there is no LTE available. It can't use Softbank LTE though. It's data only, it doesn't offer voice plans.
It's the best quality/price service for tablets and computers.
Yes you can but an unlocked note 3 IF imported. Otherwise you can buy one from DoCoMo xi and get it unlocked later, not sure if Softbank offer that service.
The only unrestricted LTE data service that I know of is emobile, all the other services are capped.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Man, you have some hard core specific knowledge about the Japanese mobile market. How would I get a Note 3 and use it with emobile? Can I get a Note 3 from DoCoMo with only voice and add emobile data? If memory serves the big three all had data limitations on their plans, and coming from Europe I'm flabbergasted at how willing the Japanese consumer is to pay through their collective noses like they were proud of being suckers.

By looking at the image you attached, looks little bit expensive for the imported phone. The prices showed above 80,000 Yen.
Now LTE ver sells around HKD 55xx, which is around 688xx Yen.

Hum... since the none of the models sold in Japan aren't dual SIM, the only way to use DoCoMo for voice and emobile for data would be to use a mifi. Emobile has offers with those. I am using one right now while in Japan and they work great.

So it might actually be smarter to get an emobile account and limit myself to VoIP? Choices, choices.

[Guide] At&t Note 3 Sim Unlock

I bought two At&t Note 3s yesterday. One for me and one for a friend. I'm on At&t and my friend is on MetroPCS. I called At&t for an unlock and they couldnt get me a code, even though one was paid in full price and "qualified" to get unlocked according to them. So this is how I got the phones unlocked.
Reminder: I'm not responsible for any damage you may do to your phone. Proceed at your own risk!
Root is Required!
1. To root your At&t Note 3 follow this guide (Thank You designgears!)

2. You will need to allow unknown sources to be installed.

4. Tap "Region Unlock" in the app
5. Let it do its thing
6. Choose Reboot Later (Thats what I did at least)
7. Turn off the phone and try a non-At&t sim card.
I tried my old T-mobile sim in mine and it pulled up, and we just got back from the MetroPCS store and have his running on that.

I asked at&t here about that since i bought one full price and they said, to call customer service. So did the next day and they "couldnt" give me the network code. I honestly dont care about an unlock as I'm on At&t.
The only difference is that you're phone wont be region unlocked. Sim unlock and region unlock are different.
Did you buy your phone full price/off contract?

Thats kinda of upsetting. I walked into the store and told them I wanted one full price and they were like "There's no 'full price', its just at&t next and you pay it off all at once if you want". I went online and showed them the option to do full price OR next, and they said they couldn't sell full price in the store. Didn't understand that because my s3 and note 3 were both full price at the store, Plus I've found deals with coupons online and they've matched it before! I hate when I go somewhere and I know more than the person working with me (I think he was just trying to get more commission off me.IDK). : They made me wait longer for the phone than I should've too. Guess my store here just sucks :rolleyes
Kudos to you. Wish that would've happened to me!

They should cost more than £1 at most if your just after a crap pay as you go. Its up to you what you put on the account.

[Q] Where to buy N9005 completely unlocked in Las Vegas?

Hi all
I have an upcoming trip to Las Vegas.
Where can I get the LTE MODEL (N9005) completely unlocked including regional unlocked.
Looking for a shop where I can pick it up and check it out before I leave.
I may have a connection in London too.
Any ideas where I can find this device at those two destinations ?
Thanks !

In London Phones4U normally have them in stock Sim-free. Not cheap though - £620. http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_justphones_details.asp?Itemkey=714026 probably cheaper in US, if you can get the 9005 there.
Alternatively, you may find a boxed one on Gumtree in the UK but it'll be a private sale, cash only and riskier.

Just buy a regular sim-free with best price and region unlock it from ebay (easy and guaranteed)

Got my European model direct from amazon.co.uk over Christmas for around £480 I think it was

What do you mean by "region unlock it from ebay" ?
What i constantly see is N9005 mentioned as SIM Free but many are Region locked to EU.
i dont want to patch the device or hack it.
thanks

Just an FYI - the N9005 isn't compatible with US LTE bands (T-Mo *may* work) so you'd only get 3G/H+ only. -- assuming you are US Based obviously.
