As the title says, does the Sprint version of the Note 3 have a SIM slot for using international SIMs when roaming? A picture from someones fresh new phone to verify would be great
It does. It's stacked under the sd card just like the other versions.

I would be happy to put up a picture if you really want to see it,but the phone for the most part is the same as the other carriers with regards to the sim slot

It needs to be unlocked in order to recognize SIM cards from other international carriers. Without unlocking, you are stuck with Sprint's international roaming coverage which costs $$$.
I have changed apn settings. When I try to use the web I get a message from tmobile saying I dont have a data plan. Tmobile rep told me my device is not being recognized as a tmobile phone. Any suggestions?

I hope you get this working I might use my vzw note 2 on tmobile.
Make sure the apn settings are correct and you are using the gsm network option. I've used mine on tmo and currently on at&t without issue.

is there a way to unlock the sim part of the phone to use it on a different gsm carrier like on the sprint HTC One?
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've asked that question before, Sprint's sim is different size from other carriers, according to people in here replies.
i know the htc one and note 3 have the micro sim that other carries provide... but i dont know if i follow the procedure i did when i unlock my one or if it's different...

I tried inserting tmobile sim card, it is giving invalid sim message. And do not display or register to gsm network. Is it possible to flash sm-n900p with other sm-n900 variants?

i called them, they don't do it unless your account is active for at least 90 days. Do you think similar unlock method described here would work?

It doesn't have to be 90 days. I called the same day and did it. If the phone hasnt been active for 90 days they call you back in 48 hours and ask you security questions. Once you hang up the rep will email you the ulock instructions.

I thought SPrint blocked all domestic Sims from working

How to unlock gsm/wcdma for my country?
I see a bunch of ZU's for sale but they are all either 6802 or 6883. I just ordered my 6806 yesterday. Will i have an easier time selling it down the road?

Yes. The C6806 is probably the easiest to sell, certainly in America. It has duel band LTE, so has the most options for LTE carrier support.
Does the c6806 have an unlocked bootloader does anybody know?

If you are asking if it's possible to unlock the bootloader of the C6806 then yes it is.
WATCH OUT there are c6806 locked bootloaders floating around. DO NOT get THIS MODEL . I GOT this model and got the locked version now im stuck with it.

How do you unlock it. I am on .257 firmware hoping somebody releases root for it also. Thanks all for the help. All the threads I see here don't seem to be for US version which just came out.

I like to get a tmobile galaxy s5 and have it operate on my att network. Reason being of the unlocked bootloader. Is it as simple as to purchase the unit and root it for it to operate on att or do i need a tmobile account?

Hate to say it, but there is a search button.
This topic has been thoroughly discussed on these forums already.
Ps, this is a Tmobile forum.
Not trying to be harsh, but give me a minute and I will see if I can find some links for you. ..
