You need to unlock Network lock -if it's locked-, not more than $30.
And you should check which GSM/3G/4G frequencies your GSM operator is using and compare with Note's specifications.
I used without issues my ATT unlocked Note for the last 2 weeks while travelling in Europe. I used a prepaid Italian TIM Mobile SIM card as service provider.

I'm getting antsy waiting for T Mobile to say when they are going to release the SG 2. Is it or is it not correct that if I were to buy an unlocked one that is not issued by T Mobile that I would not get 4G or even 3G data speeds? Are there any other downsides to buying one that is not sold by them? TIA...
Since Europe and Asia use different wave frequencies for data connections you will not be able to use the Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100 for 3G/4G connections in the U.S, but EDGE will work. I use T-Mobile in the States and own the Galaxy S II and can only use the EDGE network aka 2G. If you care for the 3G/4G then don't get this phone, yet.
I have heard that you can use AT&T's network for 3G though.
That's what I had heard somewhere. Thanks for the details as to why.

Such as, unlocking the GSM...
Hard to search for this since most "Unlocking" is referring to the bootloader and loading custom ROMs...
thanks.
Hi!
In what country you are? If your country use:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
then everything will be okay.
Only thing you need is Sim-unlocked Atrix. If you get sim-locked Atrix then you can easily unlock by yourself with unlock code what you can buy. I bought that code from ebay a while ago. I paid ~$14.
Good luck!
If you're at&t customer, call at&t customer service and state your reason why you need sim-unlock (going out of country), they'll give you a code for free.
I see. I'm not the AT&T customer. I suppose I shall need to purchase unlock code.

When you do this remember to record some video proof of the process in case something goes wrong, you can ask for a refund.

I think AT&T models don't support 3G 900 either - only 2G 900.

I'm actually using my atrix on T-Mobile right now after I unlocked so far it's working fine. You might however need a data plan for your mms to work. That's what I've been told at least.

I'm using At&t Atrix in Europe (Latvia) since summer. Everything is working great. No problems at all. Good luck!

So what does this mean for me?
I'm going to use it on StraightTalk on AT&T's network...so I should be fine.
I'm using AT&T in australia on Telstra. I unlocked and rooted but still needed to unlock from AT&T. Guy on eBay does it 4 $2!

I think there is a post for this here. But if not google it. All you need is sim card from straighttalk nokia e71. Then you need to enter new apn settings. I am noon and switched mine and my wifes to ATRIX on straighttalk. Thinking of unlocking mine a
nd new rom cause of random reboots and sod. But scared. Wifes doesn't have these probs
After AT&T waved my ETF and I had a $0 balance with them they supplied unlock codes to me for both my Atrix & Captivate, sold them both on Craigslist. Luckily I had a friend at the house with T-Mo so I just popped the sim in and was prompted for the code while I had AT&T customer service on the phone.
I have a similar question, my atrix is ATT and i want to unlock the sim and use it on t-mobile, but I want to use the pre-paid/month to month type of service, will it work the same way?
They have unlimited text/talk/data for like $50/month on the month-to-month type plan, so i wanna jump on that lol
Question??? Is There ANY WAY Possible to get a unlocked and rooted samsung galaxy S2 on AT&T using simple mobile sim to pick up 3g or 4g? I know that you get edge speed because of the way the phone is set to AT&T, but there has to be some work around. I mean is it possible to hack it someway so that you can use AT&T towers for data service and have access to their towers while still having you r simple mobile sim in the phone. This edge is killing me. I tried flashing a t-mo modem only to be let down when I flashed it and loaded it and it said please insert sim. I heard something about dialing on the phone and switching bands wondering if that was maybe a method?
Edit:forgive me for being a newbie found my answer. Thanks xda members

This was just asked yesterday!
And no, there is no simple workaround, its a hardware limitation. The phone is not equipped to see T-Mo's frequencies.

t-mobile and it works fine in europe ,are htc or samsung fascinate would work europe ?
thanks mike
No it does. US carriers don't use sim cards. To make it worse, this is a Verizon phone so it is a cdma phone. I think international carriers are GSM.

well some of the us carriers does not take sim cards i now ,but is there any chances to replace something that would work in europe ,and what htc androids for about 100$ takes sim cards ?
The GSM US carriers would be AT&T and T-Mobile. They would have some phones with sim cards.
I know there is at least one CDMA carrier in England, it might be Vodafone. Not sure about other countries; you didn't say where you were.
VERIZON Fascinate = CDMA no sim card
TELUS Fascinate = GSM and a sim card. I have no idea if the radio operates on the proper frequency for your provider however.
American (and Canadian too I think) GSM phones are simlocked to the issuing carrier. I'd recommend you buy a phone from your country. Unless the phone says "Unlocked" in the description, do not buy it. If you don't know what to buy, look it up on Phonescoop.com you want a 4 band GSM phone. However most 3G will not work in Europe because HSPA and HSDPA are running on different frequencies here than what you guys use.
I recently purchased this unit from an online dealer who claimed it would connect into my AT&T LTE network. It does not even with a new AT&T sim card, the best speed is less than a 3G performance.
Any thoughts, ideas, comments help??
It's unlocked? Did you try different radios? This is why I buy carrier phones and use that carrier. All the people that buy phones and unlock always have problems. Every day there's a new thread or two. Lol
