Does the att verison of the edge support band 12 lte?
Samsung says no
yet att website says yes,and the fcc filling for the att variant has bands 2,4,12 listed
I am on tmobile prepaid but price limitations means i might have to get a att over a tmobile note edge
Does anyone have a list of phones that support Band 12 and/or VoLTE on T-Mobile not sold by the carrier?

If so how's your mobile data speeds?, Thinking of pulling the trigger but read somewhere it's missing some LTE bands that support carrier aggregation,
I would like to know answer to this as well. In my area (Philadelphia), I haven't seen band 30 (the missing band) anywhere yet.
If it's like the international version of the s7e then it will work just fine for the most part. You will be missing a few minor features like wifi calling and number sync if you happen to have an lte gear S2 or S3 which is why I went with the carrier version. I can't have my phone on me doing my job but have a toddler and my wife is expecting a call for a transplant any time now so I needed number sync to work so it would come through on my watch.
i'm using the G955FD (dual-sim) version and it's working fine on AT&T... the LTE Discovery App shows i'm using bands 2, 4 and 17. as @ProStreetCamaro said, you'll miss some of ATT's features. in my case, it's not an issue. i'm using ATT & T-Mobile in my device. @ProStreetCamaro - i hope things go well for your spouse. ).

Where did you buy your phone? Assuming you live in us, all the online sellers only show estimated ship dates for international s8. Did it come with warranty?

purchased mine from seller in Dubai; received brand-new, unopened phone. this is the second phone i've purchased from them and the were very helpful to ensure i received a full refund from Samsung during the Note 7 fiasco. Samsung/Samsung Dubai refunded me the full purchase price +shipping. and i do live in the US/Texas .
Will the T-Mobile version work on AT&T's network? I assume that T-Mobile still doesn't require Samsung to lock the bootloader, but AT&T does. A brief look online shows each provider's version of the S8+ uses the following LTE bands:
T-Mobile: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 38, 39, 41, 66
AT&T: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 20, 28, 29, 30, 38, 39, 40, 41
Would I miss much by not having bands 29, 29, 30 and 40 on my phone?

Both T-Mobile and AT&T versions have locked bootloaders. International version has unlocked bootloader. T-Mobile will likely work on AT&T, but VoLTE and Wifi calling will likely not work.
I'm considering getting the international euro version as well to run on AT&T. It's a real shame we have to compromise. The euro version has the better Exynos chip and the unlocked bootloader. The AT&T version has the snapdragon and of course a locked bootloader. I've heard the USA unlocked version G955U will also be bootloader locked (and snapdragon). Does anyone have a list of the features that will NOT work on AT&T by using the international euro version? I've heard WiFi calling is one of them.
1. Why are Verizon's newest phones CDMA when it will be gone in 6 months? Their newest phones have CDMA, while Verizon is 100% LTE-A, and CDMA and non-HD voice phones will be shut down by the end of the year.
2. Does it make sense or do I need to buy a Verizon model Note 8 or 9 to work on Verizon's network? I will be living in the US and Colombia South America. I have a Verizon Note 3 w/o HD voice so I will I need to replace it before the end of the year. I will be replacing it with another Note series phone. The Verizon ones seem to support both CDMA and GSM and what I need for South America. With CDMA going away, does it make sense to buy a Verizon phone with both CDMA and GSM, or do I need to, to get it activated on their network?
Thanks!
Does anyone have experience with the Korean version and using it in the USA with GSM carriers like AT&T, tmobile, mint etc.?
Does the Korean version have bloatware ?
