I recently bought one from www.android-enjoyed.com and they shipped from hongkong to me. It's perfect and in a sealed box. Also available at www.gsmnation.com. Price is the factor which vendor to go with. Check if at&t support the LTE bandwidth (800, 1800, 2600). Good luck.

unless you're going to be staying a lot in Europe, the N7105 isn't going to be a particularly better phone for you with its Euro/ETSI bands for LTE. The Note2 is multiband GSM and 3G (UMTS) anyway.
And LTE isn't fully deployed across Europe either, so by the time it is, the Note3 will be here, so I would say buy a cheaper Note2-7100 and save your money!

Or buy an US variant and flash a custom ROM on it.

Just as Victorator mentioned, just get the AT&T Note 2 and flash international firmware onto it. The N7105's LTE hardware is not compatible with domestic North American LTE service, so it won't work. Fortunately, the AT&T/Rogers i317(m) Note 2's are virtually identical to the N7105 from a hardware standpoint, with the exceptions of differing LTE radios and lack of FM radio in the case of the North American Note 2's. That's why it's so easy to flash the international firmware onto them.

Niether of those are selling cheap N7105 compared to
www.negrielectronics.com
Who are also more suitably based for the OP in the US.
The 7105 LTE bands aren't the US bands but alot are buying the 7105 for its faster 3G capabilities (DC HSPA+) rather than for its 4G
Not sure whether its an advantage to have that feature in US though.

For the International version N7100, if I put in the T-mobile sim, do I only get "edge" and not "3G" ?
And with AT&T, do I at least get the 4G? I am debating to either get the AT&T one of the international one.

I'm in the same boat. I'm moving from Japan to the America, and I have an unlocked N2 with docomo. I knew off the bat that the LTE wouldn't be compatible, but didn't even consider the 3G. Hate to have such an awesome device on an ancient network.

I am using AT&T myself. I just want to make sure with the N7100 international unlocked version. Will I get 4G , I know LTE is out of luck.
Can anyone confirm this?

Almost same here. I will be coming to the US next month with international N7100 unlocked.
And I am wondering which provider will give me maximum speeds (AT&T or TMo or someelse like Straighttalk)

If you have the INT GT-N7100 then you will want to use AT&T but go with Straight Talk they use att network. I use Straight Talk and get dl speeds of 6-8 up of about2-4. And its cheaper than att.

There is currently no GSM sim unlock for the SPH L720 for GSM carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, and straight talk. So how did you sim unlock it? Or do you have a different model of the S4 and not know it? Thanks because if we know how you sim unlocked it we could test the method then help you with your data issues. Also try adding a straight talk apn to see if that fixes the data issue.

I would personally stay away from Straight Talk. Had them for 6 months, worst service I've ever had. They really did suck... And they throttle you hardcore. Honestly they are the reason I switched to Sprint. Also Straight Talk is a GSM network. Not really sure if they support CDMA, I know it was in talks a few months ago.

Straight talk pulls of Verizon as well the iPhone 5 through them runs on Verizon. You can flash the hones over but it requires a imei switch on the device which is extremely illegal.

Is your Sprint L720 GSM unlock? as Straight Talk cannot support CDMA device?

From my understanding straight talk has deals with every major carrier. My mom had a st lg that was pretty much a boost phone.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

Of course st has cdma thats the only the way the op could be using it.

They use sprint and vzw too. If you look at bottom of a phone box it will have a S for sprint and a V for Verizon.

Isn't it just great that the O.P with 1 post has stayed mum on folks asking how he got his Sprint S4 on Straighttalk (and which carrier specifically)?
Yes, Straighttalk resells from the 4 major carriers, AT&T/T-Mobile being GSM and Verizon/Sprint being CDMA.
I call B.S on this guy.

why call bs? he used a st donor phone and modified his imei just like everyone is doing for other prepaid options.

Verizon s4 straight talk
THIS IS THE REAL DEAL it's called cloning a phone....FACT: Verizon has faster 3g then Sprint... FACT: $45 prepaid is as cheap as you go... Still a Samsung Sprint phone so flash away! Paid $389 bad esn MINT for my S4 and flashed it for $75. Mine is still in the mail but the flasher has been answering all my questions.

It was BS when he said straight talk carriers all four major providers Straight Talk is GSM and only carries T-Mobile and they used to carry AT&T Sims FACT.
Yes you can do a MEID swap not a IMEI swap (both are very very illegal this phone can't be imei swamped only meid swapped) because the Sim lock on this phone is integrated in the modem, phone app, settings, and deep deep in the system and hidden menu. So this can't be done yet but I still have faith because I want to test HSPA+ on this phone.

Straight talk does use CDMA and gsm, the phones with a model ending with a G are GSM. The phones with a model number ending with a c are CDMA

Note 3 Carrier Selection

Which carrier will you use for your Note 3? (Or are considering using)
I currently use Sprint, but I'm disappointed with their lackluster data network so I'm fairly certain I'm converting to t-mobile (with an outside chance of using AT&T, but unlikely).
I'm curious as to what the breakdown is amongst Note forum frequenters. I apologize for the lack of options for non-U.S. carriers, but that information is not of interest to me (Although the proportion of international users is useful, I suppose) I'm a statistician by trade, so the purpose of this poll is to satisfy my (and others') curiosity.

If I get a Note 3 it will probably be a tmobile one because of the unlocked bootloader. I'll use it on ATT. The tmobile S4 works on ATT without a problem.

"technically"
AT&T for me, but, it will be via straight talk, now that they are going to start doing LTE. I was thinking
about AIO, but now that ST is on LTE, I'll probably stay with it.
i don't use much data a month, less than 2 gig. Most of my data is wi-fi anyway. Been happy with
ST, so I don't see any reason now to switch.

I went with Sprint ~2 years ago out of principle (the only carrier I could get unlimited data with) but their network has been so slow for me I can't take advantage of the service. I can get discounts for both t-mobile and AT&T, but I feel like t-mobile offers a stronger value over the next two years for my usage. Depending on how aggressive the throttling is with ST's LTE network and how reliable the service is I'd definitely consider giving them a go, too.

Verizon for me.
I've still got their true unlimited and I'll be damned if I'm giving that up.

So you will be paying full price for it?

well im looking to get full price.. im on att and i been reading that it will be locked and now i read that tmo is unlockedboot..
will tmo work on att 4G/LTE? dont the S800 chips support LTE-A? att is going to get it first or has it already in some places ?
i need a phone that has rom support and needs root.. cant stand bloatwares

I will be using at&t as usual..... The locked bootloader I'm sure will be resolved or bypassed so I'm not worried about it! The most important thing to me is root which should not be a problem!

still new to this rooting thing.. so unlocked boot lets you use the phone on other carriers ? and root just lets you get root access so you can install roms/uninstall bloatware ?
im going with att buying it full price and maybe go back to t-mobile..will the att work on t-mo network?

Unlocked bootloader will allow for custom roms and kernel along with custom recoveries! Root is what it sounds like it gives root access to all system files. Sim unlock releases use on other carriers. And yes at&t device will work on T-Mobile bands.

Is better the other way around... AT&T Note 3 does not support the T-Mobile 1700 band... So you are better of getting the T-Mobile version and using it on AT&T... Since it supports all T-Mobile and AT&T bands...

And the truth is that from my experience T-Mobile Roms are much more smooth than AT&Ts... Plus leessss bloatware.

I'm planning to order the Note 3 from Negri Electronics to use it with AIO Wireless, but I would like the option to use it with TMobile in the future. I also want to be able to root the phone to get rid of the bloatware. I was going to get the ATT version when I started reading these posts.
For what you're saying it's better to get the TMobile version because the 1700 band. However in the product page in Negri, for the ATT version, 1700 is listed as supported:
4G Network LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 (I cannot post the links to Note 3 product pages in Negri since I'm new in the forum)
Does that means that the 1700 listed in the ATT version is not the same as the 1700 that TMobile uses? Do you still advice to get the TMobile version over the ATT version?
I'm new to all this stuff and will appreciate any help deciding.
Thanks in advance.

(Q) GSM settings on VZN

Is there any reason that the VZN rom had greyed out GSM settings. Does this mean that there are antennas that can be enabled with drivers or a SIM from ATT or TMobile?

The phone is a world phone which means you can put in any gsm SIM card and it will work with the Bands that the phone is equipped with. I have used it on T-Mobile and metropcs successfully so far.
Also the area is greyed out because Verizon doesn't have a gsm network for cellular use. Yet. Their LTE is deployed over gsm but it is data only.

Verizon would have GSM settings grayed out because it is not applicable to their network at all. The phone would come carrier locked so if you pop a sim card in from say TMobile then the phone still wont work. However if you were to unlock the phone (currently illegal last I heard, might change in a year or so though) it should theoretically work on ATT and TMobile and other GSM networks, although you may or may not have to manually input APN settings to get the network data working. The stock Verizon ROM though may also not include drivers for activating those radios bands wither, IDK if that is something they would do or not. All the versions of this phone use the Snapdragon 800 chipset, which has built in radios that can hit basically any network's frequency in the world.

Well at most only a small part of what I said is wrong so thanks for trying to correct me in in a very dickish way. Unfortunately you are also wrong, not all Verizon phones come unlocked from them.
digitaltrends.com said:
AT&T will let you unlock your device permanently, provided your contract has already expired. AT&T customers still on contract may unlock their devices up to five times per year (for international travel purposes), as long as they don’t owe any past-due amount on their accounts, and have been a customer for 60 days or more.
Verizon sells all iPhone 5s unlocked, meaning you could take your device over to AT&T or T-Mobile without having to unlock the device. But other devices, like the Samsung Galaxy S3, are locked by Verizon. However, like AT&T, customers in good standing can request to have their devices unlocked for international travel.
Sprint does not offer unlocked devices, but it will allow customers to unlock their devices for travel after three months with the carrier.

And I never said all their phones were unlocked I stated all lte devices which are world phones are unlocked out the box.

AT&T doesn't use AWS, except in very very VERY few areas, and only for LTE. They use 700 MHz. Verizon uses 750 MHz.

But Verizon is starting to activate their AWS spectrum in "major metropolitan areas" but there are conflicting reports in regards to the Verizon variant of the G2 and AWS.
Especially since most recent Verizon LTE phones can access the spectrum yet it hasn't been confirmed for the G2.

Do you understand what AWS is though? It's just 1700/2100 MHz together. AT&T doesn't use it (except as I said in like less than 1% of their LTE areas). AT&T uses 850/1900 MHz for HSPA+ ("4G") and 700 MHz for LTE (which Verizon devices don't do).
AWS is what T-Mobile uses for LTE though, so you'd be able to get T-Mobile's LTE out of the box.

But lemme get one thing straight, can the phones run at these frequencies if a different modem flashed or what? Anyway this isnt going to be an issue for me because im buying an att variant and selling my Verizon variant

No, it's more than just the modem file. Like you said, just go and buy the AT&T (or T-Mobile) version. The T-Mobile version will work on AT&T fully as well.

I posted before that, yes, a T-Mobile device will fully work on AT&T with LTE and everything. If you don't have LTE on it when you put the SIM in, call up AT&T and tell them to turn on LTE on your account (if you've never had an LTE device on your AT&T account before).

T-Mobile devices are the same as AT&T devices; the only thing different is that they also support T-Mobile's 4G (which uses AWS) where as AT&T devices don't. I promise you it'll work. Just make sure you ask the buyer for a receipt to prove that he paid for the phone in full; you might end up with a device that gets blacklisted because the buyer decides not to pay for the phone/his bill in full.

So, is the Verizon G2 AWS capable?

Only for LTE. It won't get LTE on AT&T but it will on T-Mobile.

I don't get why people still think they can just bring a Verizon LTE phone to ATT OR ATT LTE to Sprint or Sprint LTE to Tmobile, etc. It is pretty ridiculous that most people don't understand how cell phones work and never look at the frequencies that are supported on the phone.
About Verizon AWS LTE...Verizon has said that they are only deploying 5,000 AWS LTE towers by the end of this year and willing be adding more sites in 2014. You think 5,000 LTE sites is a lot considering that Verizon's network comprises of 45,000 towers. Let me tell you it isn't considering that is only about 1/9 of the total towers spread out nationwide. You'll be lucky to get a stable LTE connection if you only have LTE BC 4 support considering the shorter range propagation characteristics of AWS spectrum. Anyone thinking of bringing over their Tmobile LTE phones to Verizon better think twice before doing that assuming they will get the same LTE range and coverage as its 700 MHz LTE network.
To me it is always easier to just sell the LTE phone that I am no longer a carrier with and buy the carrier branded LTE phone to avoid all this hassle of unlocking it and having to worry about frequency incompatibilities.

Verizon and att share an aws band. I know about phones, im not dumb. I was just exploring the possibility of it being achieved. If the phones have exactly same hardware across the board, than it means its software related, which in the android world, with alot of trial and error and work, most software issues can be overcome. Thanks for your huge rant though, you should go work for Verizon

Dude. I know everything there is to know about this. AT&T uses AWS LTE in VERY VERY VERY few areas. You won't be able to get LTE with your Verizon G2 on 99% of their network.
