Hey guys, first time posting here. I have a couple of questions. I have a 2 year plan with At&t. I pay $100 a month for 3 gb data and unlimited mobile to mobile minutes. I sold my S3 last week for $400 to get the Note 2. I have decided to buy the Note 2 at full retail price so it doesn't change my plan or anything. Would the At&t Note 2 version be the best one for me to get? From everything I've read, all the variants are the same except they differ when it comes to coverage and LTE ****. Right? My 2nnd question is, will my Galaxy S3 sim card fit into the Note 2? I put all of my contacts on it before I sold it. Also, when I go to ATT friday to get the note 2, how do I activate it so it works with my plan? Just put the sim card in it and bam, it works, or do the idiots at ATT have to program it and stuff? Thanks guys!
basically i'm wondering since i'm with at&t should i get the att version or should i order the international version off amazon?!

Sir, there is a thread in place to assist you. Thank you & Thread closed.
Hello all,
a Greek friend will be staying some months in US. He can get at a good price either an iphone 5 or a Samsung Galaxy S II. This, with a contract of course, Verizon/T-Mobile/AT&T-something.
My pal was asking whether he could get a phone that could be unlocked for usage in Greece, so he can continue using the phone when back. Is it possible for either of these phones? Caveats?
Sorry for not taking the time to plunge into the forum to read, this question was in a hurry.
if you want to use a us carrier phone unlocked, then you have to pay for a termination fee, so it not recommended.
Because the such phone are usually cdma, they are not compatible with gsm so it would be pretty useless to buy a gs2 or a ip5 with a us carrier.
So to answer your question?
not really
Click thanks if helped
Hi guys
I'm planning to buy SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3 from US probably (I'm from Europe) and I don't know the difference between NOTE 3 N9005 and
SM-N9005 and which one is better or the are the same? I think that SM-N9005 is from VERIZON network in USA.What is the difference and will it work in Europe?
Thanks

I ask myself the same question.
I do not claim to give a complete answer, but as far as my research (15 mintes) tells me, these are Samsung-intern designations that give information on the exact hardware specifications.
In case of the note 3, they mainly differ in supported data transfer standards, such as g2, g3, lte (these are German terms, no idea if they're globally applicable, the general idea should be clear nonetheless).
The weaker octacore chip can (or will or should) only be used with devices that support only standards g3 or lower.
hope this helps and hope i'm not completely wrong here.
btw, sm-n9005 has the stronger quadcore chip so you'd be safe buying that one.

Thank you for your reply.I searched internet as well,and I agree with you,but I just found out that VERIZON's NOTE 3 model has other numbers. It is : SM-N900V – U.S. Verizon Galaxy Note 3 !!! What does SM-900V now means?
Maybe they misinformed me that it is SM-N9005.
check out the us Samsung shopping site. googling note 3 sprint should get you there as well.
There you can compare full specs for all carriers

You'd buy the sm-n9005 which is the European lte version.
I live in France and I have this one.

Really, you could not read the thread that is already stickied at the top?

SM stands for Samsung Mobile. That's all. N9005 is the short name, SM-N9005 is the full product name.

Yes I read that SM-N900V is VERIZON's model od Note 3,but also read somewhere that they have LOCKED BOOTLOADER.And after reading Verizon's NOTE 3 forum I found out that VERIZON still don't have KIT KAT update for their NOTE 3 (which is not the case with other mobile cariers in USA).So this makes VERIZON not that good idea.
Does anyone have any experience with it,and what problems will I have if the bootloader is locked for N-900V Note 3?

That just means that development for a variant with locked bootloader is going to be slower than unlocked variants. I'm not American but if I can give any advice it's this: don't go for carrier-locked variants ever if you can avoid it. Carrier contracts are more expensive in the long run than a one-off payment and their lust for control causes slower updates (if any) and more difficult development. Don't support those companies, just don't.

Being in Europe you should definitely go with the SM-N9005 . It's the most popular LTE radio model, and the most xda developed. Not really sure why you'd want to go with the Verizon Model.
P_
I'm considering NOTE 3 from USA,because I have someone over there ,who can get it for me cheaper then in Europe.That is why.But after reading all of the stuff (not that good) about VERIZON's version,I better not do it.But we will see,it depends on the price.

Just buy the International version which is SM-N9005. If it is from a carrier especially in US, the bootloader is locked. It might not work for your country since you are in France but you can unlock it. If you are concern for the update, you can update manually by using Odin. It is easier to wait for the stock firmware download to be finished that wait for the OTA to come

Hello, first off I wanna apologize if this has already been covered. I have read through the forum some but couldn't find the answers I was looking for. My issue is, I'm in the process of shopping for a device in which I can root and bootloader unlock. I have a budget of around 250 bucks. I also got to have root and such. My carrier is Verizon. I have read that a unlocked sprint note 5 would work on Verizon, if anyone can confirm this I'd be happy. Also do t-mobile roms work on unlocked sprint note 5. My options for a new device are the nexus 6, nexus 6p, galaxy note 4 and 5. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
