Apparently both are the same phones
Has anyone got their hands on them yet?
The Skyrocket is i believe the same Galaxy S II that rogers is selling so you can always look at that one
Edit: They seem pretty similar except with different frequencies
seem typical waiting for hands one.
I got the Samsung Galaxy s2 lte Korean model..... Can i use the rom of AT&T on mine?
I've searched, and have yet to find a definitive answer to this question, although my searches have revealed this to actually be a two-part question.
First, does anyone know where (if anywhere) there is a complete listing of all model numbers of the Note 10.1? It seems there are wildly different model numbers for those with 3G vs Wi-Fi only vs models for certain countries, etc.
Secondly, does the Note 10.1 have built-in cell phone voice calling capabilities? Obviously, this would not be possible on Wi-Fi only models, but of those that potentially have the hardware for voice calls, are there any models that can make voice calls without having to root the phone? And if so, are there any that can make voice calls without any additional software, using just a bluetooth earpiece, and presumably a SIM card, if using GSM networks?
Finally, are there any U.S. models that can make voice calls without rooting?
I've been looking for a tablet that would do voice calls right out of the box (once you have a plan from a compatible carrier) for quite some time now. So far, the only options I've seen are to purchase a non-US model of some tablet or other, or to root a US model that has the hardware, and go through a series of potentially difficult, potentially risky steps. Thus far, no tablet I've seen is attractive enough otherwise, to either deal with purchasing internationally, or to risk breaking the warranty to unlock this sort of feature. The Note 10.1 has SO much functionality, that if possible, I might be willing to take the risk or deal with international purchasing. I currently have a Toshiba Thrive, and love it, but even without voice calling, I'm seriously considering getting a Note, just for the S-pen. Voice calling would definitely put me over the tipping point.
Yes, you can make phone calls on the 3G model. The 3G model is the N8000.
It has phone, contacts and messaging apps on there as standard, just like a phone.
I don't know whether the 3G model is available in the U.S. The U.S. Samsung website seems to indicate it isn't.
You don't want a US carrier model anyways. Unlocked is the way to go. The N8000 is available in the US as unlocked model. You can use AT&T's non-smart phone data plan, $15 for unlimited data. The tablet itself has tethering built in and will not set off the tethering on the wrong plan notification from AT&T. The data is just as fast as faux G smartphone data plan. The US carrier models will be identified as a tablet and therefore you have to get their tiered data plan at a much more expensive plan and it's capped without tethering capability unless you get the 5GB plan.
Back to your original question, There are 4 models that I know of.
GT-N8000 WiFi+3G with cell phone capacity - works with AT&T's HSPA+ network.
GT-N8005 WiFi+3G Data only
GT-N8010 WiFi International version
GT-N8013 WiFi US Version
There's also a N8020 coming soon that has LTE built in. Not sure if it'll be compatible with North American LTE bands though.
Does anyone happen to have a list (or could find one) of all the various, different models of Galaxy Note 10.1 that are available, anywhere in the world? I can find the specs for most anything, if I just have all the model numbers.
There's basically just
GT-N8000 = wifi+3G
GT-N8010 = wifi only
GT-N8020 = wifi+3G w/LTE
Of those, the first two have been available since 2012. The third one is new.
Then within each model number you find handsets tailored to various countries, carriers and languages.
You forgot the N8013 - wifi only US model and the N8005(turkey Only?) - 3g but internet only - no calls, easily rectified by flashing an N8000 rom onto it apparently.
Does anyone know what bands each of these models use? Or alternately, does anyone know for sure, which of these models would be compatible with T-Mobile USA, and if the voice-calling model will work with T-Mobile's voice and 3G networks?

hi k1darkknight,
I am also interesting in figuring this out, but there is no clear answer anywhere yet. One of the ebay seller indicates N8000 would work with Tmobile, but data would only be Edge/2-g. But Tmobile has been doing stuff with its 1900mhz band so it might be different for some areas now???
Does anybody know??
Thanks!
I think all 3G models work on pretty much all networks these days.
At least, the N8000 works on 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 for UMTS according to gsmarena.
Just looked up what frequencies T-Mobile USA uses and it appears that use a 1700MHz band which is unusual and won't work with a normal N8000, but they also are using the 1900MHz band to some extent, which *will* work. You'd probably have to contact T-Mobile for clarification of just how much coverage their 1900MHz UMTS network gives,
Can GT-N8020 make GSM voice calls?

Can GT-N8020 make GSM voice calls?
I'm fairly sure it can. It's basically just an LTE enabled version of the N8000. The specs do quote a talk time for it.
That said, I don't own an LTE one.
GT-N8020 on AT&T in USA

I am getting one soon. Hope GSM calls work on AT&T in the USA. Also, hope the LTE works with AT&T LTE speeds in the USA.
8013 can send texts and make calls also over wifi with Google voice...
Sent from my GT-N8013
Flashed the N8005 with the N8000 rom and the phone/dial pad was activated but i still can't seem to make phones calls. all it says is "Call Ended" immediately i start the call
I just bought a I535, unlokced and rooted. But seems it can't support either ATT or Tmobile WCDMA. Ive set up a correct APN, but it can only work under Edge network.(no signal if I change to WCDMA only) Is there anyone who use Tmobile or ATT? How can I do? ROM 4.1.1 VRBLK3

Hey lil buddy, i have probably 6 galaxy s3's one being my i535, and its my most pristine condition Gs3, i use a i747 which is an ATT GS3 as my main phone, all are unlocked, now from what i know about the i535 and i hope im wrong, is since its a CDMA phone, it doesnt support the same bands tmobile and att use for 3g/4g/LTE data, my i747 is on straight talk and works awesome, 2 of my tmobile T999's work awesome aswell, but only get HSPA+, which is 4g, but from what i hear on our i535's we cant get anything above EDGE when running on Tmobile or ATT.....i hope you find a solution cuz if you do please tell me!
I'm looking to purchase a note 10.1 and have found some good deals on unlocked tmobile (gsm) models on amazon. I was originally planning on getting a wifi only edition, but I do have verizon mobile service. So I wanted to know if I did decide to want to add the tablet to my network, could I. Well it turns out the Internet offers conflicting information here. Some say that an unlocked note 10.1 will work on all carriers (verizon and GSM). Some say that's not true. I was just hoping an expert on this site could confirm which is correct. Thanks and sorry if it's a simple question, but I couldn't find any like this in the forumshort search.
Since the n8000 only supports 3g, it is not likely that it will work on CDMA networks like verizon. Verizon actually has their own model, the n8020, so that would be what you are looking for

So I bought this Samsung Galaxy S6 Duos (Unlocked) [SM-G920FD] from Swappa but can't seem to get it work with T-Mobile at all! I'm hardly getting any bars plus network keeps dropping off. Funny thing is I live in a T-Mo zone, my other phones (running on T-Mo) work without any issues. No Problem with LTE either.
I'm super frustrated and donno what to do anymore.
What apn setting do I need to use? I will really appreciate it if anyone can kindly help me out with detailed instructions, since I'm a such a dumbo!
Thanks in advance

Duos g920FD is same geographical version as international g920F (except it is single SIM), same 3g and LTE freqs.
There is a T - Mobile version for s6 (g920T), only single sim, there is not duos t - mobile version.
It means probably your carrier is using 3G 1700MHz freq on your zone, the only additional frequency that g920T has and g920F/FD hasn't. Both versions have same LTE freqs except F/FD versions has 3 more LTE frequencies available, because this you have not problems with LTE.
Check with your carrier if they are using 1700MHz 3G band and if so, sorry, you should change any of your carrier or your phone, or force GSM connections. Or maybe you can also configure your duos s6 using a non T-Mobile SIM for data 3G/LTE, and your T-moblie SIM as 2G (GSM) only voice/SMS.
