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 really want to sell my phone. I know I can get more money for it if us unlocked. Ive already googled how to unlock it and it seems pretty simple. My question is should I unlock it before its sold? Never unlocked a phone lol so sorry for this question.

Unlocked always adds a little bit more value to a device.
Why not?

I just got an ATT S4 I was planning to end my postpaid account with ATT and using prepaid.
I read in a forum somewhere that says you have a better chance of getting your non-iPhone device unlocked thru ATT international chat.
I tried numerous times with all my devices thru ATT unlocking to no avail. This time i tried the international chat just for the hell of it. Gave her my info and etc and what do know? It worked, she gave me instructions and the unlocked code. Another shocker is that this phone isn't even registered under my account.

This doesn't mean the bootloaders are unlocked. Please read the article carefully.
It clearly states, "You could find unlocked units before, but now several retailers are selling carrier-free S7 units."
All this means is that "The phones will work on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and US Cellular."
Again, this is not the same as having an unlocked bootloader. Not even close.
However someone seems to have stumbled upon an engineering bootloader, so this thread may not be a fallacy for much longer!

The ones they are selling are 935F. Exynos version. If Samsung locked these never buying again. They would be stupid to do that.
These aren't 935F, their designation is U.

Thanks. Looking like no hope for galaxy note 7. Either might have to get F version or vote with my wallet as should everybody. Bootloader locks are terrible. Some of the innovation in Android comes from xda.

It works flawlessly. The only issue is the lag and WiFi password after the initial root. To fix the lag after you've just rooted you download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod and set the governor to interactive in the general menu and in the settings tab check kernal settings on set on boot. Then finally to fix WiFi you download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nathan.jf.build.prop.editor and find "ro.securestorage.support" click on it and set it to false, then *make sure you the hit check button* restart the phone and your good.
(Also to specify the issue with the WiFi passwords is that it doesn't save after a reboot. Meaning that you must re-enter the password after every reboot.)
Check out this thread please!

Cellunlocker.net I've had great experiences with. Just did a ZTE ZMax Pro from metopcs yesterday that has the app unlock. It took about 30 minutes.
You might can find some cheaper ones if you have eBay just search for T-Mobile app unlock but usually those are slower.

You would need to ask T-Mobile or pay for an app unlock usually $20-$40 and only if the phone has a clean IMEI.

I called tmobile, and they couldn't make this app working. This is only because bootloader is unlocked?

It may not work if it's been rooted etc what error do you get? Also T-Mobile has to do something on there side before the app will actually unlock the device.

There is no error, just kicking me out of this unlocking app. I have a green light from tmobile, however they couldn't make it work.

Yeah the app would give an error if you couldn't unlock. Only way may be need to relock boot loader if that's possible? I'm not sure don't own the V20. But the unlock app is the only way

Just really afraid to going back to stock. You never know if can root it again. Is it right?
indeed if your bootloader is unlocked, that ****ty app will not unlock your sim. I found this out when I re-locked my bootloader and the app worked. but by then I already had T-Mobile unlock my sim manually, which took a lot of calls and effort. any way unlocked i the bootloader again and the app just kept spinning.

I was on software version 10j during that and yes, I was able to. While I have not tested it myself, people say if you're on 10k you can still downgraded to 10j to root.
Is the unlock service down still for T-Mobile, I have a LG V20 I need unlocked. I just bought it & when I tried to unlock it using the app it fails, says phone not eligible. I checked the IMEI at T-Mobile web site& it comes up outstanding balance due on phone. But yesterday I recieved text messages from T-Mobile confirming the guy who sold me the phone made a payment plan agreement, something like 3 installment to get acct upto date, but tried unlocking after I recieved notice of payment arrangements, & still no good on unlocking with app. I'm hoping I can get it done paying a service, since I'm planning on using out of USA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The unlock service was never down. The phone/past due account has to be fully paid off before T-Mobile will unlock the device.

Oh ok, but there isn't anyone that offers a paid service to unlock? If not then I'm going to have to wait for all the guy's payments to clear before I can unlock it?

I'm new to the 6t coming from a Ph-1(essential phone). I always install custom recovery and root all my devices. My question is this: I bought the unlocked TMobile version from Amazon and downloaded the fastboot zip from T-Mobile and got the unlock code in fastboot and filled out imie/ unlock code on TMobile website.. Do they send an email saying they are working on it? I haven't received anything and want to make sure that there isn't a problem before I can't send back to Amazon.
Thanks
Yes, it takes about a week to get the email. Also, the code will be emailed to you by OnePlus, so keep an eye on your inbox.

I bought an unlock Tmobile earlier this year, converted it to the intl version the next day, then unlocked, rooted, etc without issue. Search function on the forum is mediocre at best, but search "6t tmobile international conversion". It removes all the T mobile bloat, gives you dual sim, allows unlocking. Read the entire post, I believe there was a t mobile change that requires an additional step. No waiting for the code.

Yeah I found this from below... I think something is going on with with my Qualcomm drivers because it hasn't worked for me yet..
Edit: super simple to do the conversion once I figured out the driver ( I actually just used a different laptop )
