what networks does the note work on in the US?

Does the Note work with any networks 4g? AT&T or T-Mobile maybe?
Does it work with T-Mobile's 3g at least? If so, any idea what is up and download speeds are?
Im thinking about getting this phone.

It works on ATT's H+ "4g network", 3g network, and 2g edge network.
and T-Mobile's 2g Edge network, not 3g or 4g.
And it should work on any other GSM Carrier in the US, just check the frequencies for 3g internet(if its the same as ATT, and if it is, it's most likely a subsidy of ATT anyway)

T-mobile to US Cellular roaming

1) Is US Cellular using LTE Band 12 up here in Maine?
2) Is Nexus 6P "certified" for Band 12 on T-Mobile?
3) What is (or where do I find out) the T-Mobile/US Cellular roaming agreement here in Maine?
When my Nexus 6P signs onto US Cellular, I am lucky to get "edge" coverage (but it does not seem to actually know how to use it). I understand that USC has LTE band 12 and am wondering why I cannot access it. There are no TMO towers in my area. I get great LTE coverage using Canadian (Bell/Telus) towers, but nothing useful for a huge area here in Maine as I travel south towards Augusta. Is the Nexus 6P a bad choice for TMO? Should I be using something else or is nothing going to actually utilize USC's LTE network? Hoping to resolve this because I need the Canada coverage TMO provides, but I also need coverage here in Maine. Is the USC LTE deployment actually band 12 here?
Thanks!

US Cellular is a CDMA provider. They are not GSM so there is no edge to be used. The only part of their network you'd be able to possibly use is LTE, But I highly doubt you could roam on them due to if LTE did work, they're would be no way for SMS/Phone calls to work as you'd only be able to get a data only connection.

US Cellular has shifted to GSM as well as the LTE. My iPad Pro does roam on their Edge network with no issues. The Nexus 6P does not like their network, but it can and does use CDMA where it is.

US Cellular is still CDMA as stated on there website along with every phone they sell is CDMA/LTE. Yeah the 6P can use CDMA but there is no GSM carrier that has agreements with CDMA roaming except for Project Fi which uses Sprint, T-Mobile, and recently now U.S.Cellular for the nexus devices.
I was doing some digging and U.S.Cellular does have a few GSM towers up were your at but its for roaming purposes ONLY (it's technically not really uscellular though) it's just them to make a few dollars from Gsm carriers like T-Mobile haha. so that would explain why you can get edge not sure why your 6P won't roam on it correctly though. I highly doubt there is LTE available in those areas (GSM Wise) as GSM is not what u.s.cellulars main focus is as themselves they only provide that network for roaming I'm pretty sure it would at least be 3G though.

Is that the "King Street Wireless" part of things? I had seen that mentioned on their web page.

LG g6 often switches to HSPA+ network

Hi there. I returned my G600K and switch to H870DS and both have 64 gb and hifi which I love it. However, the new phone H870DS will often time switches to 3g where should be 4g lte network. The weird thing is if I turn on the airplane mode then turn off, the network will be 4glte. However, if I change my location such as going out for a walk, the phone switches back to HSPA+. The phone is factory unlocked and I am an ATT user. I know the phone is missing LTE band 2. So should I switch to sprint?

Contrary to some reports around here, the H870DS is missing band 2 AND 17 which is the primary LTE band on AT&T and Cricket. The only AT&T LTE band that the H870DS will connect to in the US is band 5, but that's apparently not widely available. I don't think you can switch to Sprint, because that's a CDMA carrier, and the H870DS is GSM only as far as I know. If you switch to something like T-Mobile or MetroPCS you should be fine, assuming they have decent tower support in your area.

No, they're two different carriers that use different LTE bands. The only similarity they share is that they're both GSM carriers, as opposed to CDMA which is what Sprint and Verizon are.

Will unlocked Sprint version work on 3g at&t?

I have read all threads, and found very confusing answers to using the sprint variant. I have found it does have LTE bands needed for both at&t mexico and usa, the two that I use. But some webpages say it is lacking frquencies for 3g and 2g gsm.
I plan on paying for a permanent remote unlock. Would The phone be completly functinal on At&t 3g? I dont care about wifi calling.
Thanks fo any help/advice.

Yes, works fine. I have done it both LTE and 4G/3G.

How did you get the gsm bands? All frequency checker webpages say sprint variant does not have 2g/3g gsm frequencies, only cdma, and LTE. I have not bought the phone yet, I want to make sure I will be able to use it not only on LTE since some places I travel to in Mexico only has 2g/3g/gsm.

Which is best model for use on UK 4G network (Plusnet Mobile)?

I want to buy an LG V20 for use on Plusnet Mobile 4G in the UK. Which model will give me the best chance of doing that? (H910, H990,...?)

I have the H990DS in the uk and I'm on the three network and it works fine. Any model would do as long as it has lte band 20.

Thanks for the reply. There are some good deals on the AT&T (US) H910, which I've been considering. The quoted network specs for this are:
Networks: GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, LTE, LTE-A
LTE Cat12 700/800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2300/2600 (Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,12,17,20,30)
So I guess it should be fine in the UK?

Hi
The V20 H910 (AT&T) version does not support band 20 LTE only the H918, VS995 and the 990N support all 3 bands used in the UK. If you check GSM Arena website it shows which bands each of the V20s support which LTEbands.
