I'm looking to upgrade my phone to the Galaxy note 4. I live in Canada and see that there's someone selling an unlocked at&t note 4.
Are there any minuses to buying an AT&T phone and using it in Canada? LTE bands are the same as my carrier (Telus). Will I not get updates or have any other issues?

I'm interested in the fully factory unlocked GS4, but want it to be compatible on either AT&T or tmobile's 4G LTE speeds. I checked the model they are selling at expansysUSA website: http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s-4-smartphone-black-mist-16gb-unlocked-247538/
But it doesn't have LTE support (the GT-9500 model). Doesn't anyone know which unlocked variant is the compatible one to get to be compatible on either AT&T or tmobile's LTE bands?
The Canadian variants will be as close to stock as possible and will work on band 4/17. I could not find any other model that will support those.
I would look for the Telus or Bell variants once they are shipping.

Cool, but the Canadian carriers are going to offer the 32GB, or at least Vodafone said they weren't. I wonder if Telus or Bell will?
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?
My question is does Verizon Note 3 support LTE band 4? And I know what Verizon LTE band 4 should be compatible with the T-mobile LTE band 4 does that mean if Verizon Note 3 if support LTE band 4 and it will get LTE on T-mobile?
Thanks ahead.
Several users in the update thread who say they live in AWS areas are still seeing the same speeds as the old software (MI9)
So the verizon note 3 doesnt have band 4 enabled? I wanted to get it for use on tmobile lte since I was getting a good deal on it. Any info would be appreciated.
I do not see it is enabled on I9 firmware, maybe it will be enabled on later update.

If I can get this phone under 500 no contract.. but my main purpose is to use it on tmobile LTE.. should i buy it?
No, I think you shouldn't buy it, because if you can't use the T-mobile 4G then it is not worth it.
I guess I wont be buying it. Thanks for the insight. If anyone finds out anything about tmobile 4g LTE on this model let me know
Which variant should I get to operate on MetroPCS?
Right now, I have a Galaxy S4 SGH-i337 AT&T unit. It would only pick up Edge on MetroPCS (we're running on T-Mo's towers, of course). I had to use QPST to unlock the AWS 1700 band so I could pick up 4G in my area. Works fine now.
I am told that as of now, unlocking AWS is NOT possible on the Note 3, so basically I can only pick up whatever bands the phone can get, out of the box.
When buying the Note 3, I should get the T-Mobile variant [SM-N900T] correct?
A seller from Craigslist has a Factory Unlocked SM-N900T, but he told me that I should NOT buy it because it will not work on MetroPCS. So I am confused. But I figure if I buy the AT&T variant, I'll be stuck on Edge again with no way to unlock AWS 1700.
Advice, please?
Been thinking about replacing my Note 2 N7100. It does not work on ATT 4G LTE
Which unlocked international Note 4s are best for AT&T with regard to LTE Bands in the US. or do I have top buy the AT&T variant for reliable LTE?
According to the specs, N910F also covers all AT&T bands

But will they technically work in the US? I don;t want to pay $800 for a bootloader locked up Note 4. When I can buy an international version for the same money
