I've been using it on tmo since yesterday. Solid signal, very stable so far. I ran speedtest this morning and got 56 up\26 down. The speed is crazy fast.
To get the Note 4 working on Verizon:
1. Change the APN setting.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
2. Change the network mode to Global in Mobile networks (same place where you set the APN)
3. Change the voice mail number.
-Open the Phone app, click on the 3 dot Menu button, go to Settings, select Call, select Voice Mail Setting, and change the number from *86 to 123.
-I use Google Voice, so I just switch mine to Google Voice.
4. If touch tone DTMF is not working for you, try to turn of noise reduction or change the DTMF from Short to Long.
5. To get rid of the annoying SIM message in the notification. Tap, hold the message and select App Info then force close it. Do this every time you reboot the phone.
Hi, noob question here, I am also using tmo network on a verizon note 4 but I can't seem to go online... I was told to changed the Network mode to GSM but still nothing. it also says the Signal strength is -67 dBm 23 asu. Any help would be great thanks!

You need to add T-Mobiles APN google it!
Good to know. I'll be taking this bad boy to Asia next month. Sounds like it'd be a no problem sticking a new sim card as long as I get the APN down ?

how to remove Verizon bloatware
I'm using the Verizon note 4 with the T Mobile SIM card and it works well, it connects to 4G LTE, but I cannot use mobile hotspot because its integrated with Verizon's services. All the APN settings are fine but it says mobile number not found.
Does anyone know how to remove all of the Verizon bloatware? Things such as the Playstore and settings even have Verizon bloat. Data Usage tool also does not work either.
Also to note, whenever i reboot the phone a permanent notification apoears saying something like, "Sim card is not Verizon," which can only be removed if you force close the activation agent. Its annoying that Verizon left its mark throughout parts of the phone.
Is it possible to make this a Regular galaxy note 4?
(Another weird thing is that the settings menu cannot be switched to carousel mode which the T-Mobile version can do.)
hi i tried my t-mobile sim in my verizon note 4 but lte is not working it only works on hspa

I think T-Mobile sims for lte should use
fast.t-mobile.com
also make sure you do have LTE in your area.
I did it on Galaxy S5 for someone and it was fine.

To get rid of that notification, press and hold it until the App Info window appears. Hit that window then you'll go to the Activation Agent app settings. Push "Force Close" and it will disappear.
Nice and easy but the only problem is that you have to do this every time you restart your phone.

Does your phone have a clean esn from verizon or is it considered a "bad esn" (lost phone)? Just curious if they work outside verizon with bad esn.

It depends if your market uses LTE band 4. Probably though.
Also, it looks like (once root is achieved) you'll be able to add more LTE bands.
Do we lose frequencies when we use a verizon phone on tmobile? Doesn't seem to have band 12.

Shouldn't be an issue since AT&T and T-Mobile primarily use band 4. The other bands are for additional bandwidth if there is congestion and T-Mobile uses band 12 in limited markets.

Hey guys, just got my note today and i took my sim out of my at&t atrix and threw it into the note, changed the apn settings to what it seems whats working, and i can only get edge data.

The atrix is a 4g device correct? You have a data plan on file with at&t that is pointing to the 4g plan. You put a 4g data plan registered sim into a 3g device. I think this is your problem.
Enter your sim into a dumb phone. Go online and switch your data plan to medianet unlimited.
Then put sim in galaxy note and try again.
good luck

AFAIK 4G/3G/edge has nothing to do with the SIM or service. If he is getting EDGE, he should also get the other 3G on... if the device supports it. Worst to worst, call AT&T
post the apn you used

You have to set the message centre number in Messaging --> Settings --> Message Centre
I found this number: +13123149810
Maybe this is your message centre?
Edit:
Just read that you wrote "mms".
Do you have configured the APN for MMS?

You cannot change the APN setting with the Verizon SIM in the phone, the menu items are grayed out. However, if you put in a non-Verizon SIM the APN menu becomes accessible and you are able to add a different APN for the network of the new SIM provider.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am writing this with my Verizon note 3 from Ireland using a sim from the "3" network (three.ie). It works for voice, data (3g, no lte), and texts. My phone is rooted, but I don't think that was needed. So, it does work.
There is a little icon stating "non-Verizon sim", but everything works fine.

delete vzw apn?
I have a vzw note 3 I just switched to at&t and after much digging was able to find the proper apn for at&t. What I cant figure out is how to delete the old Verizon apn as it's grayed out. Does anyone know how to access this to edit or delete?
Is it bothering you that much?? Not sure who you could delete it but why is it a bother ??

You can always try to search for the 4G apn settings (if such exists) for Verizon, and or go to your mobile network settings and set 4G as preferred network type.

Once is unlock is always unlock no matter what sim you put in
You did not mention you could make call and send messages , to get 4G review your settings/connections /more networks /mobile networks and make sure you have the right setting there .
if you have dta and voice you should not have the "unknown sim " error ......try with a different sim to see if is sim related.
Just bought verizon galaxy S 5. Changed SIM to AT&T from straight talk. First of all was that a mistake? When ever i leave a wi-fi area the phone goes to emergency calls only. Email and text stops as well. Can't get voice mail to work anywhere
Would appreciate any help.

Just a thought, go to settings /more networks and make sure you have the correct network checked

Wait... you put an AT&T sim in your phone? This is a Verizon forum. If I misunderstood, please tell me.
Just to be clear because you didn't state it in your post, you must unlock your phone prior to using a non-Verizon SIM. You can sometimes get these unlock codes from Verizon but you can also buy them online. I've used GSMLiberty.net with success before. After that, you should be able to pop in your SIM from the new carrier and begin using it right away. In some cases, you may need to manually add the correct APN for your carrier. Find these settings under Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access point names. Click the little plus icon in the top right and manually enter AT&T's APN information. You may need to Google that as I don't know AT&T's APN info.
I use my Verizon S5 on T-Mobile's networks with absolutely no issues, I assume it would be a similar experience for AT&T as well. For me, I put my T-Mobile SIM card in and could make calls and receive texts, but mobile data and MMS was not working properly until I manually added the correct APN information. After that, MMS, 4G LTE data and everything is working flawlessly.
You do not need an unlock code for a LTE Verizon phone. These phones are already unlocked. One must set the correct APN.
Do not buy an unlock code!
I have used my Verizon S5 with att and t-mobile.
Good luck.

Thank you for your posts. Most of the phone works. When I leave a wi-fi area my phone goes to emergency calls only. When I go back to a wi-fi area the normal call service works again. I'm new to verizon and samsung. Wanted to use straight talk because i didn't feel like paying a fortune for service. I'll get it figured out some way.

tried that now same thing H, and no lte
had my kid take the sim out of his 6 plus on att,,boom lte fired rite up,maybe a 2 yr old sim needs replacing ??
I'm seeing the same issue. After boot, the phone is stuck on HSPA. Toggle airplane mode, then the 6p connects to LTE.
I know T-Mo folks have similar issues. For T-Mo, I read about toggling the "Advanced LTE" setting and rebooting resolves the issue.
I would like to find a better solution than toggle airplane mode with ATT.
I called att. I had the same issue last year with my moto x pure. They had refresh their system and reenter the imei number and change my device. I rebooted and it works now. You can chat online if you want. The apn settings should auto plug in when you boot the phone with whatever carriers sim card.
Thanks for this thread. I was noticing it stuck on H all day. Brand new sim, just got it yesterday for this phone from AT&T...
Just glad to know about airplane mode toggle trick, it works great.
Tried resetting APN's, but didn't help.
I'll call AT&T soon and see if they can fix it permanently on their side ?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
For those on AT&T, who *never* sees LTE, even after airplane mode toggle, will need to contact the carrier and have them provision the line for LTE. The easiest way to do this is to put the SIM into an AT&T-branded LTE phone. This way, the system will "see" that you're using an LTE phone and by the time you call, the agent can simply make the needed provision. You can put the SIM back into the 6p thereafter and LTE will stick, even if AT&T's system does not recognize the IMEI.
*However*, if the airplane mode toggle works to connect to LTE or you have ever seen LTE on your 6p in the past, this is then likely NOT a carrier problem. See this thread. What @slaydog and many others are experiencing is caused by a ROM/radio bug. It is intermittent. There is currently no fix for it and a bug report has been filed with Google. We are hoping that the next patch release fixes the problem.
I ordered my nano SIM from AT&T before I received my 6P. The rep had to look up the SKU of the SIM that works for the 6P so that the correct one was shipped. I had LTE service the moment the phone powered up. I would have AT&T send you a new replacement for the two year old SIM, and make sure you let them kmow that it is for a Huawei Nexus 6P.
