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!
I never had a gsm phone so I dont know alot about world phones. On sprints community foruma there is much debate if the gs4 is a world phone. I see a sim slot my guess that it is. Anyway if I were to switch to tmobile, can this phone be used or is it completely impossible? Other countries use gsm networks only so being a world phone I would assume that it can be used with US gsm networks. Thanks.

It is a world phone but it is locked to Sprint only you can call sprint and have it unlocked for international and sprint simcards only no domestic Sims like from t-mobile and AT&T.

Okay did some research and youre correct. Invalid sim pops up when a local sim is inserted. Lets say I flash the google edition rom stock rooted. Now I know it will mess up all radio with cdma but will this bypass or does sprint have a hardware lock on the device?

Yes, it will work on tmobile for text and call when you unlocked it. For data, you need to change the apn setting to epc.tmobile.com. I am sure that you will get EDGE but not sure about 3g/4g or LTE.

That is not correct. It will work if you unlocked it. You will only get EDGE data for the time being in the US.

sprint to tmobil
thanks for all but can someone put what will be the procedure in how its done and the call how it will work just fine or what? please i need to know to do it im a newbee .thanks to everyone
You can't do it, it is impossible. Sprint has US carriers blocked and there is no method to unlock to use a Sprint phone on Tmobile. So here is the steps to follow: List your Sprint phone on Ebay or Craigslist, Sell it, go buy a Tmobile S4, enjoy.
2nd try

Im having difficulties rooting the S4. When I check it says its not rooted properly. Im still on MF9 and have no clue how to get it to MDC/MDL baseband. Any help? And how would you change the apn settings?

will not work don't waste your time trying. Maybe on verizon or another cdma carrier but not gsm just wont work. I read this question at least 100 times on xda and no one ever did it successfully or even partially. Trade or sell it

There seems to be a very dismissive attitude in this thread.
I have a Sprint HTC One and I can easily throw a T-Mobile SIM in there and get full service (sans LTE) with T-Mobile. The HSPA+ is faster than the Sprint 3G.
So while I do not have personal experience with the S4 in this fashion, I do not see why it would not be possible to get it unlocked and used on T-Mobile. (Unless Samsung/Sprint are blocking it for whatever reason)
Does anyone know if Sprint GS 4 can be flash to Verizon?
Not from my understanding.

What I want to know is, if I switch to Verizon, can I still use the Same device I used from Sprint? Because Sprint is one of the worst carrier I've ever had, damn so disappointed.

It seems to work fine in the Bay Area, sucks here in Central valley. Time to switch carrier.
OK my Buddy bought a note 3 on craigslist ... Through some digging it used to be in a T-Mobile contract that wasn't honored... He is with sprint and wants to use it there... is it Sim locked it... if not could he just get a a card from sprint and call and switch it over or is there more to do.. Any advice would be appreciated..

I think it only works one way. You can use the Sprint version on T-Mobile, but not the T-Mobile version on Sprint. His best bet is to unlock the phone and head over to AT&T or an MVNO like Straight Talk.

Yes, it appears that they all use the same hardware but different software. Check the sprint forums to find a tutorial.
