I'm planning on going to Singapore and vietnam . can I just pop in their sim card there to use, or do I need to unlock the phone somehow? Are their LTE compatible with ours, or will I be on 3g?
Thanks in advance.

There are a few similar questions and answers here if you search for them. Sounds like it will work. But I have no experience to speak from.

I can confirm that it works. I'm currently in Russia and using SIM from on of the local carriers it works perfectly, but you have to add APN manually in order for mobile internet to work.
Thanks. Any instructions on how to set the sim? Does lte work there or is it 3g.

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.

Just order a sim card online...I'm currently on ST n its got fast data speeds n good coverage
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.

Will they need the sim card?

APN?
That's what I was thinking, do I just need to put in a tmobile APN?

If you look around on here I believe someone posted the Tmob APN settings you need to use. Can't remember where exactly. It should be stickied.
Here ya go. Post #7 One of those apns should work for you.

Do you have 2G for 3G or LTE on the T-Mobile network?

Yes you can use it on other carriers. Phone comes SIM unlocked, early versions did not allow you to add APNs without rooting, that may have been fixed in 4.1.2 update, not sure. Anyway you can find a ton more info here including what people did to get going on AT&T, Tmobile, and various non-US carriers:

I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what carrier will work my Note 3. I bought it for brand new for $300 form someone on cl. I've researched a lot but since I'm not on sprint i cant get it internationally unlocked to use it with gsm networks. So can I flash to use cricket or metro pcs without a sim card? And How would anybody do it themselves?

But I cant do this without first having an account with either of them right?
Cause as of right now, I dont have any carrier, would I have to open up an number?
Correct, you would need to set up service...can't just piggy-back on a network with a deactivated device.

Pop over to the forum I referred you to earlier, they'll be able to give you better feedback.
