yeah i was wondering if this phone could be flashed to pre-paid verizon like they did in the evo 4g lte forums HERE.? Or any other network like boost mobile or virgin mobile? because my contract is about to end and i need a cheap prepaid carrier that offers unlimited data.

I bought my donor Samsung Gusto for $20. He flashed it via remote conenction for $40. It's only been a day, but everything is working perfectly with my Dinc LTE on 3g.

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.

Which would be the cheapest route? I just want data.

Im on t-mobile and this constant data drops and crappy signal in my house and everywhere u go is intolerable. I really don't wanna sign a contract but heard.good things about straight Talk. So i need advice or current user input on this matter. Or recommend me to something worth checking out. Thank you.

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.

If you have an AT&T phone and plan on using ST AT&T then you don't need to unlock your phone! I'm using the GNote on straight talk AT&T without it unlocked.

Yeah I'm using stock ROM rooted with stock modem. I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is using 1900mhz for LTE and ATT uses 1700. Really digging the late though. Download and upload isn't a big concern but the ping has dropped to about half of what it was. Very happy with T-Mobile. I think the lte will spread quickly like their 4G did.

T-Mobile doesn't use 1900Mhz for LTE, only AWS 1700Mhz.
Regardless the i717 doesn't support LTE over 1900Mhz.

Oh wow this is awesome!!!! Could you please get into your ServiceMode (dial *#0011#) and take a screenshot of your ServiceMode?
Did you change any of your APN settings in order to access LTE or you're running default epc.tmobile.com ?
Thanks!
I'll post a picture of it in service mode around 5pm. I'm at work right now and LTE isnt coming through the building very well. Also to answer your APN question I am indeed running the stock epc.tmobile.com. also thanks for clearing up the frequency bands ok both networks I wasn't quite sure.

I like the techie stuff. For instance, in that screenshot I can see that they're using Band 4 (AWS 1700/2100Mhz), LTE bandwidth is 5Mhz which tells me that the maximum possible download/upload speeds are 37mbps down / 12mbps up in that particular market, EARFCN 2175 means that they're using C block of the AWS spectrum which is 10Mhz slice (5Mhz used for downlink, and 5mhz for uplink).
Most consumers don't care about this kinda stuff, but I do
Thanks again!
Oh wow. Makes sense. Glad I could help and I'm sure this would help others too.

Awesome! I went and got some Jamba Juice to test, worked perfectly!
I then went to CVS and it did not work, but the cashier said the pen wasn't working so it was probably their equipment broken.
Do you still get 50 for signing up?

Can you tell me how you unrooted? I just did the update last night and me device was rooted. I think me device is unrooted because I cant access superuser and busybox says cant get root access. Butt the isis wallet says im rooted.
I got Isis last week and got $40, spent it on an otter box at verizon, and got $18 back on the serve card! A $10 promo and 8 was a 20% back promo.
Anybody know if this works for att go phone? I get error 7008 when activating. Says to call att. I have and they couldn't tell me anything. I have the enhanced Sim card.

Are you 801 guys on the Official KitKat or the rooted KitKat Rom that just came out - root? Wonder if that matters. Also I thought I read you need a new sim with Isis on it but I need to read up on this stuff.
How do you go about trying this. Just go to the Isis app from your phone? Might be a dumb question but do you have to have a Amex card?
Finally worked. Only gave me $25 though

No, you sign up for an Amex card for use with ISIS. The signup process asks for your name, address, SSN and birthdate.

Cool thanks guys. I had to get new SIM. T-Mobile had no issue giving me one. I thought I had a new one that I was using from my Flex. I got 25 as well. Used it for lunch at McDonald's. The employee didn't even know what the machine was for. Lol

You could flash it to Page Plus Cellular. It's a prepaid service provider that runs off of Verizon towers with good service and ridiculously reasonable plan prices that can be changed monthly depending on your needs. That's what my husband and I have ours on.
