I just sold a Verizon Note 2 to someone using Tmobile service. He tested voice and it worked fine so he was satisfied with that. Didn't get the chance to test data. What can he expect his data speeds to be? Would also like to know this for someone using AT&T.
Thanks!

I got great download 6-10MB speeds and more then adequate 2+ MB upload. Always depends on the area he is in and if TMO refarmed the 1900mhz around him.
See Here for my results.

I'm reading a lot of data issues with ST. Are you using an ATT Note i717? Mine is rooted with a JB rom.
Soft cap is ~2GB for data on At&t compatible sim card. Not sure about T-Mobile compatible sim card, but I think I remember reading on HoFo that it was around 5 gigs.
I received a call from them when I hit 2.1, but I haven't hit that mark since.
If Tmo existed in IA, I would switch to the $30 prepaid since I hardly talk, and when I do, I generally use GV

My suggestion would be to go with straight talk or net 10 with an att compatible microsim you'll at least get hspa+ I'm on straight talk and completely satisfied... Just don't torrent with it lol
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks, hopefully ill be able to jump back to ATT when my simple mobile month is up... but yes I'm going to try that one next...( straight talk)
Here is my speed test... on "3g" ... it refused to find the other speed.... I tried like 10 times....

So my buddy is selling a Verizon galaxy note 2 and I was gonna buy it for my girl, but its been turned off by verizon. I was thinking about taking the sim out and putting it on straight talk, with one of there tmo or at&t sim cards. But idk if that would work. Anyone have any ideas?

I see people posting about using bad ESN phones on straight talk all the time. I'm not brave enough to try it, but apparently somebody is making it work.
I pulled the trigger and grabbed super cheap so if this doesnt work ill just use it on wifi. I have the sim installed and everything, but im getting an error when sending calls or text so idk ill see wbat i can figure out.

great to hear that it worked out for u :laugh:
Can you let everyone know what you had to do please?
I used an apn unlock mod I believe and just stuck the sim in and put in the correct apn settings and it worked.
The mods here on xda

Sure hope so and I hope the devs here get it to us faster than sprint ....... #stupidairrave
What would you use wifi calling for because you could just use google voice over wifi with the number you already have.
How do you do Google voice calls ?

Based on your "Stupid AirRave" comment, I'm guessing that are you looking for VOIP service for your N3?
Before you proceed, check the internet connection you plan to use to see if it's up to par.

If it passed then check out some options here:

FreedomPop is doing it on the Sprint network for cheap.
Probably but I doubt anyone can tell you for certain right now.
so I just got my hands on a sprint LG g3 and on the box it says that it can be unlocked for GSM. is there any way to do this and bypass sprint unlock and get for me so that I can use my AT&T sim card in there?
try to edit the build.porp like g2
Sent from my LG-LS995 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would also be interested in how to accomplish this.
Unlock G3
What happens when you put a GSM Simcard ? As I know all should be GSM unlocked like my Verizon G2.

it just gives me an icon as if i dont have a SIM card in there at all. As far as I know the Sprint version is lockdown far more than Verizons.

Call Sprint and ask then to do it for you. They can do it remotely.

They would not unlock it if you paid full price from sprint either .....has to be on the account for 90 days ...and Bill has to be up to date etc ... they don't have to unlock it ... they do it only because some sprint people actually travel and it's nice to be able to pop a sim in ....vzw only had unlocked phones because they have to from fcc .... Maybe people should just buy a gsm phone if they want use it on gsm
Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
They also limit the number of phones you can unlock per year. I travel a lot and have a lot of phones so it's frustrating for people like me who like to use their CDMA phone as their int'l GSM phone as well...

Maybe you should stop being a ****... I won it in a contest.
Guess i will be a **** Again....may as well sell it and buy another because you won't use it on gsm without Sprint unlocking it...

I think you are just missing the point. It would be much more practical if every phone was unlocked for cdma or gsm use like the Nexus 5 is. I have a Nexus 5 I bought from Sprint and it runs on Att right out of the box. This is how all phones should be. I happen to have Sprint and Att accounts and its great to be able to swap phones between them without a huge hassle.

I am not missing the point this is a 600 dollar phone and these people want to get it cheap and unlock it instead of paying more for it .... it's people trying to rip off these companies ... the full price of this phone is right at 600 but you can get it with bad esn for like 200 ... it's just people being cheap
There are threads just like this on note 3 s4 S5 g2 etc for sprint all the same
The Nexus from Google was 400 to start out off contract
