[Q] EE Galaxy Note 2 running on O2 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am able to pay £100 next week and get a Galaxy Note 2 from EverthingEverywhere off my mums contract and give her my HSPA (she wont use 4G!) Galaxy S3.
I am wondering if it would be possible to get the Galaxy Note to work on O2. The Galaxy S3 is already unlocked so that wont be an issue!
Thanks
Steven Chorkley

Better off posting in note 2 forum.

Try searching for specialize on eBay. He unlocked my new s3 i9305 last night £10.95. Got unlock code back in 30mins. Check if he covers note 2, I know he covers most Samsung models

Thank you!!!!

...and I'm not sure even EE have gone live yet.
Once it is live, only sixteen cities in the UK will get 4g until the Spring of next year. I'm definitely and early adopter, but there's early and there's early!

EE went live over 2 weeks ago....

Although handsets are displaying EE this is only EEs 3G Network. 4G EE will be going live at the end of the month in 10 major cities followed by several more by the end of the year.
From Techrader Website:
The date sees the new EE brand "go live" alongside the super-fast mobile network, which will go live in ten cities around the country (London, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham).
EE says that Belfast, Derby, Hull, Nottingham, Newcastle and Southampton will also join the 4G line-up by the end of the year.

To all yes I realise that the galaxy note 2 won't work on o2 4g when it is released and I also understand that EE isn't live until the 30th.... the business model is in practice unil early next year!!
Thanks to all for the comments

[Q]Is anyone currently using this phone on T-Mobile?

Like the title states...I ask this because after being disappointed by my brand new Galaxy Nexus with a defective screen. I'm looking to get the galaxy s2. But I'm torn between the SGH-T989 and this device because of the different processors. I realize that if I am to get the i9100 I will be stuck on edge.
The main reason I upgraded from my earlier phone the HTC Sensation was for a gorgeous display and an amazing day to day performance which my Galaxy Nexus failed to deliver. So I was just wondering if anyone who currently owns the i9100 is using it on T-Mobile and is it worth the edge or is the SGH-T989 as good or good enough as the i9100? All Opinions are Welcome.

I think being stuck on edge would feel crippling to me.

Are you in America? Because I'm on T-Mobile in the UK, and apart from my data being throttled to 1.8Mbps, its fine.

I've never managed more than 1mbps.....
I am perfectly satisfied with T-Mobile in Germany, other then them throttling my data after 300mb/month. Of course this is my own fault for the plan I setup.
He is on T-mobile USA, so different frequencies than Europe, and this phone (I9100) only gets Edge data speeds.

Your right..even with an amazing phone like the galaxy s2 having it on edge only is an insult and I couldn't tolerate it. So I'll just stick with my GN and see what happens with the Galaxy s3.

Wow $35! I got my unlock code from cellunlocker.net for only $8, took 3hrs for them to send the code.
Edit: just checked... They charge $33 for bell note. don't know why Rogers is so much cheaper to unlock.

Didn't had to unlock my rogers Note to run it on the Fido network, was a very good surprise. Mayne the note is factory unlocked?

Actually since Rogers owns Fido, you can interchange the sim's from Rogers to Fido and vise versa with a locked device.
They made that change a few years ago.

same here, used cellunlocker.net for unlocking Rogers locked Galaxy Note i717R... $8, code within 6 hours (got it in the morning)... didn't have Bell sim card so I could not open network unlock input even with #7465625*638*#... finally went to a local mall and asked a guy at mobile stand to borrow Bell sim card... no charge... entered code... "Network Unlock Successful"...
however I am with FIDO and when I type *#7465625# to check if phone is in fact unlocked I get to black personalization screen and it force-closes in couple of seconds... no unlock status information provided... just crash... Could that be connected to the fact that Galaxy Note is network unlocked but it not rooted?

Galaxy S 3 Singapore

If i pick up a GS3 from Singapore will it work here on att/tmobile? I am here in Singapore now and everyone is saying all phones are sold unlocked by law.
that is absolutely correct, all phones sold in singapore are unlocked and can be used with any simcard in the world

The only different is the LTE band, which cannot work on AT&T
I m a Singaporean and I am using Galaxy SIII now. By law, there is no carrier network locking. Even Apple had to obey that when they just selling their iPhone 3. In the US, it was initially carrier locked.

Did you get it with the 12gb contract or 2gb as now I have heard they are changing to 2gb

Thinking of getting Intl. version am on AT&T right now with MicroCell

Currently on AT&T and am contemplating getting the Intl. version because of the quad core as well as no carrier bloatware, etc.
My question though is I have to use a MicroCell at home due to AT&T not having great coverage in my area... Will the Intl. version of the phone still work with the MicroCell unit?
Thanks!
Bump
Never really looked into the micro cell to much but my question is how do I actually order the int. Version for AT&T.
Also Bump.

Order mine on July 1 from Newegg. Have noticed the price is varying from day to day. From past I found on other computer parts to order on weekends for they have bitter deals.

EDGE is the best you'll be able to get with T-Mobile. Your international GS3 doesn't have the 1700MHz band needed for T-Mobile 4G.
Your options are to live with it, switch providers and go with AT&T or sell your GS3 and buy the T-Mobile version.
Bellow is a screen shot from wiki pediatrician for gt-i9300 base bands it includes all almost there must be a work arriund to get 4g

I would say wait few more months t-mobile already started rolling out H+ for 1900. So in few months we will be able to use high speed data

where did you hear that?
Sell it and get the t-mo gs3 version, you'll need 1700 mhz umts to be able to get the 3g (fake 4g) on t-mo. And this is hardware is no root or magic to change it!
