APN Editing

Hi,
I was thinking about purchasing a verizon Note3 however I read the APN for the data setting was locked out just like the Note 2 was. I am just curious is this true? Was it ever unlocked on the Note 2?

Unfortunately, we'll still need root to do this if it is locked out by default on the N3

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.

can anybody please verify this?
also, if you put in another network's SIMCARD in the NOTE3, will you be able to do calls, txt/MMS? or only DATA?
will be traveling international this DEC and would like to be able to put in a local SIMCARD and use it instead of having to pay VERIZON extra for roaming charges..
any help would be greatly appreciated!
TIA

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.

I own a Verizon Note 3 and currently I have T-mobile SIM inserted and Voice / DATA (H+ no LTE) are working great.

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 ??

Verizon Note 3 is factory sim unlocked...does this mean no region lock?

The Verizon Note 3 is factory sim unlocked, I was able to put in a straight talk/tmo sim in and get calls, and use data after editing the APN. So does this mean that it is not region locked? I didn't see any sticker on the outside of my box mentioning region lock, but I bought it in store, so they might have removed it.

Its unlocked. I just tried my prepaid T-Mobile Sim card and after putting the correct APN setting I got G.

I can confirm that I switched the sim from my note 2 from att to my Verizon note 3 and it could make phone calls. But I wasn't able to get data. I tried to switch the app settings but that didn't work for me.

Do you need to be rooted ?

No. I'm not rooted. But the only downside is that there will always be a notification saying that a non Verizon Sim is inserted.

Where's the APN setting on the GN3v. I looked around in Setting but couldn't locate it.

The ones I used were the regular T-Mobile one. I don't have them memorized but a simple Google search will pull them up.

Sorry, I'm just looking for the settings area to make the change to. Like "mobile network/..."

Does the phone work for voice calls?
I think 4G/LTE is completely out of the question but 3G should work - you might need to manually set the details for the AT&T mobile data access point (and set network mode to to WCDMA/GSM).

Do you have an EFS backup? How did you root? How/when did this problem start?

AT&T LTE is on different bands and they use on N900A a custom modem (on 700/850/1700/1900/2100 vs. 800/850/900/1800/2100/2600 in the N9005). I remember that there was a bounty on making that work but I did not see anybody claiming it - search around for more details (I could be wrong and it could be about some other Note 3 model).

You need to change the apns to whatever the apns for your network are also using a vzw phone for gsm is not the best option

It may be due to bad network coverage.
Enter Secret Code *#0011# to see what is the received level?

That's network based, not device based. Ask your service provider, it sounds like a network problem.
