I'm thinking of going to Straight Talk from AT&T. So you are using the AT&T sim you got from Straight Talk, right? Not AT&T? Does the phone have to be unlocked? It's my understanding it does not. Is everything exactly the same as on AT&T service? (That might be a dumb question.)
Damn I want straight talk now.

U buy a straight talk sim from the online store. The phone has to be be an att phone or a world phone like a galaxy nexus or international note. Everything is the exact same as att IMHO. Just no lte.

Me too T-Mobile speeds suck. But is expected. But I have 5GB UNLIMITED and am no where near the brink. I need my 4g speeds I only use my phablet for data and skype to make calls.

Um, what unbranded phone works with tmo-us 3g bands? You have to be able to receive the correct frequencies in order to get 3g, and tmo-us uses non-worldly 3g bands, unlike att.
So, while dumb, it's the reality of the situation.

Are you sure? I heard it differently.
My family possibly be going to Verizon, and I look around. Most if not all the info I seen so far said no.
If there is a way, I want to know. Since I have the SGS2.
Any unlocked phone can be used on any network so yeah you can use it on Verizon

Yes and no, because Verizon uses cdma and not gsm and your phone is gsm based you will only be able to use voice and 2G Data, 3G will not work with your phone.

StaightTalk seems pretty good for at&t users who want to change carriers with minimum fuss. Your at&t note won't need any rom or modem flashing. But, you will have to unlock it and manually input the APN settings.

It runs on AT&T's HSPA network. So it's the same as that. You won't get LTE though. That currently only for AT&T.

1. Im sure it is possible. through apps.
2. If straight talk has the same frequency as this phone, then Yes it would get 3g.

T-Mobile got some bands back from the government, seen people reporting 3g speeds with other ATT Samsung phones. Might be worth checking to see what's planned for your area. Or Google T-Mobile bands, they are saying HSPA+ by the end of the year.

As the topic says I am curious if anyone has made the switch to t-mobile and got everything working. There's a thread on the tmo forum about getting the AT&T variant working using QPST but they where asking for the QCN file from our version and I don't know if it's needed or if there's another work around. The AT&T/ TMO thread is here:

The guy that got that working on the att version still needs the qcn. The one he had didn't have all the nv's and was taken with older version qpst. It needs to be 2.7.374 or newer. He's still willing to work on it if you can get that to him.

You will only get edge data unless you are in a reframed area. Right now tmo 4g is on the 1900aws band which the Verizon note doesn't support

They do kind of just not that aws band. If you're in an area with the reframed towers you will 4g I'm not sure about there lte though.
I was only kind if joking though earlier. List your note on craiglist. I got 450 but sold within hours. Go to Walmart and pay 278 on contact with t mobile. Then call t mobile and mitigate your classic plan to a value plan for the 200 fee. You now have 60 a month and 478 for the phone.

I would do that but I am still under contract and the bezel on my note has some nicks from falling out of my pocket before I got a case for it. That's why I am trying to use phone instead of selling.

You do realize that there are various sized SIM cards right? The original VZW LTE phones used the larger SIM card. The iPhone 5 uses a smaller SIM card.
