I have an american att note 3 that I would like to use in europe with another sim card.
Is putting another rom on it will be enough ?
Thanks

It'll work fine providing you've sim unlocked and/or region unlocked it, you won't get LTE either usually just H+

N1s are already unlocked from the factory
There are two versions of the N1: one works with AT&T/Rogers frequencies, the other works with T-Mobiles frequencies.
You can use any sim card you want as long as your phone supports the carriers cell frequency.
You can use any SIM card, even if your carrier doesn't support the frequency, but you will get limited functionality...

could be possible, that he's talking about one of the vodaphone n1's.. I think they are carrier locked, but easily unlockable via root.
Vodaphone N1 is not sim locked I have one. But it has got a carrier tweaked rom.

Vidéotron N1's won't work on Rogers, Bell and Telus 3G; they will -only- work on Fido and Rogers 2G/Edge/GPRS.
Read the FAQ.
Is the Bell sim card for the P7500M micro or standrad sized?

What is the difference between the P7500R(Rogers) and P7500M(Bell) hardware wise? I know one is Rogers is GSM and Bell is CDMA. But does the P7500R and P7500M have the same radio hardware but the tabs are just locked to their prospective networks? Can I get a the 7500M and unlock it and flash a AT&T radio and get 3G data speeds on on the at&t network or will I just get edge speeds?
They are the same. The bell version is hspa not cdma. They are identical in every way, except they are locked to their respective networks. Either one will work fine with att, once they are unlocked

I never had a gsm phone so I dont know alot about world phones. On sprints community foruma there is much debate if the gs4 is a world phone. I see a sim slot my guess that it is. Anyway if I were to switch to tmobile, can this phone be used or is it completely impossible? Other countries use gsm networks only so being a world phone I would assume that it can be used with US gsm networks. Thanks.

It is a world phone but it is locked to Sprint only you can call sprint and have it unlocked for international and sprint simcards only no domestic Sims like from t-mobile and AT&T.

Okay did some research and youre correct. Invalid sim pops up when a local sim is inserted. Lets say I flash the google edition rom stock rooted. Now I know it will mess up all radio with cdma but will this bypass or does sprint have a hardware lock on the device?

Yes, it will work on tmobile for text and call when you unlocked it. For data, you need to change the apn setting to epc.tmobile.com. I am sure that you will get EDGE but not sure about 3g/4g or LTE.

That is not correct. It will work if you unlocked it. You will only get EDGE data for the time being in the US.

thanks for all but can someone put what will be the procedure in how its done and the call how it will work just fine or what? please i need to know to do it im a newbee .thanks to everyone
You can't do it, it is impossible. Sprint has US carriers blocked and there is no method to unlock to use a Sprint phone on Tmobile. So here is the steps to follow: List your Sprint phone on Ebay or Craigslist, Sell it, go buy a Tmobile S4, enjoy.

Im having difficulties rooting the S4. When I check it says its not rooted properly. Im still on MF9 and have no clue how to get it to MDC/MDL baseband. Any help? And how would you change the apn settings?

will not work don't waste your time trying. Maybe on verizon or another cdma carrier but not gsm just wont work. I read this question at least 100 times on xda and no one ever did it successfully or even partially. Trade or sell it

There seems to be a very dismissive attitude in this thread.
I have a Sprint HTC One and I can easily throw a T-Mobile SIM in there and get full service (sans LTE) with T-Mobile. The HSPA+ is faster than the Sprint 3G.
So while I do not have personal experience with the S4 in this fashion, I do not see why it would not be possible to get it unlocked and used on T-Mobile. (Unless Samsung/Sprint are blocking it for whatever reason)
Hi All,
I just purchased a dual sim adapter from Magic Sim for my Note 3 N9005.
The problem is, it can only keep one sim active at a time.
My question is, are there any application available in Android ?
It does not fulfill my purpose of having two sim cards active at the same time, My intention is to use one sim for calling and other for only data.
If anyone has any ideas please help me out.

Nope you will need to get the duel sim version or if your with orange or EE in the UK i know they can add a 2nd line to your current contract or you maybe able to set up call divert from one sim to the other :^)

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as a 4G dual sim model.
At least the Dual SIM models I've seen myself are 3G ONLY...
Certainly if it's exynos there will be no 4G
just FYI
I know I can always forward calls but my purpose of having two active sims doesn't fulfill. My second sim is only a data sim card. I wanted to usr my second sim for data plan. I have seen other Android dual sim phones that give option to choose data plans from a particular sim. I thought it was going to be similar..
Their products website does say it supports 4g and I can use it too but only one sim. So if I switch to my data sim then I can use 4g but my phone calling sim gets switched off.
I was looking for an application that can help me keep both my sim cards active.

There are BT units available which allows 3 or 4 sim active, but only supports gsm, if you need 4g, the main usim will go into the phone.

I send a message to their technical support team. They replied as
"Yes you can although you will need to get your phone unlocked first"
Therefore i need to unlock my note 3 SCL22, before buying dual SIM adapter.

i bought the q-sim and the only problem that i have is to restart the phone to change sim card.
I bought a verizon s5 and am using in dominican republic. I had a nexus 5. When i put sim in i only get 2 bars always and my 4g speed seems very low for being in the exact same place that my nexus got good signal?
Any clues on why?
No clue, in fact there is not do much you could do without root and service menu locked down.
I've been using this Verizon s5 in Colombia and Peru using local sims and no issues at all. Why don't you try another carrier?

Perhaps the Sim you have is not optimized for use with the S5.. Perhaps a new Sim is needed.

Am planning to use my S5 in Colombia, mostly Bogota, Villavicencio & Cartagena. Which companies (movistar?)SIM , and type/plan do you recomend? Any instructions as to how to do the "root and service menu locked down"?
I appreciate your help.
