Hi, I have yhe following issue and I need your thoughts please.
I have a Telus plan, canadian with US roaming option.
I am traveling in US alot. I have a Note 20 Ultra U1 from Samsung USA. When in US I can only register on Tmobile. Won't let me on ATT or Verizon.
With same sim card in Note20 Ultra "W" variant, canadian one, it wil register on all 3 major networks in US. No issues with the sim, I guess.
My provider said nothing to do with them, Samsung told me the same.
I reseted all network setings my APN is ok. VOLTE on. Only getting acces to Tmobile.
Any ideea how I can fix this ?
No ideas ? Might be the CSC ? Would XAC work ? Mine is XAA and also cannot get 5G in Canada with Telus on this device.

I have been searching for an answer and have not gotten a clear and definitive answer. Does the T-Mobile Note Edge variant work on all AT&T LTE networks without issue after being unlocked? According to tbr Samsung website both models have the same bands with the t-mobile Edge have 2 additional bands
I have the att model but would really like to be part of the dev community. I have a week and a half to return my att model. I would buy the t-mobile model if it works completely on the networks. Anyone out there using a t-mobile Edge on ATT. Thanks

Think I can help answer a few Qs.
Am using a Straight Talk sim (ATT) in my T-Mo Note Edge. Getting 8-15+ mb/s down...2-4 mb/s up (more than enough for me). Followed rooting method posted by TekHD. Did not see unlock procedure for T-Mo Edge.
T-Mo does hold your unlock hostage for 2+ months or $100 (didn't see this stated and argued). Unlocked through a reputable unlocker through fleabay (~$24 I think - Tmo also recommended...go figure).
Hope this helps.
Wish someone can release a qualcomm kernel w OC/UV/governors and thermal control soon...

Yes, Using one right now. You do not need to unlock it at all it will work right out of the box with an AT&T sim as will all T-Mobile Phones.. This has been a thing for years. There might be some obscure T-Mobile phones without perfect LTE Band or Data support. Every major model will work perfect with absolutely no unlock don't waste your money. I actually called T-Mobile before throwing my gophone sim into the Note Edge T-Mobile variant and cautiously asked if they will blacklist the imei of a phone that is using an AT&T sim. The T-Mobile representative kindly, calmly, and with conviction said that no you will not have your device blacklisted, and that all T-Mobile phones should work out of the box on AT&T. Enjoy not paying for an unlock code! I'll upload pictures of my note edge running AT&T data services via an AT&T gophone sim if you don't believe me. It actually put the APN information in for me automatically too! Meaning I did not have to enter in carrier specific AT&T APN, the software on the Note Edge T-Mo variant picked up the different carrier and entered the APN settings automatically. Woot woot

strange. I have my att sim in a SM-N915T on 6.0.1 N915TUVS2DPG2 and it says network locked.
I have been trying to get my LTE working on my Samsung S8+ SM-G955FD with Freedom mobile. I have updated the CSC to XAC and GLW from the development forums and the phone will not connect to LTE at all. However flashing it to tmobiles CSC I was able to get LTE as it uses the same band 66. I initially got LTE by selecting the network operator "Home" once I lose connection from LTE to 4G it will not automatically reconnect back to LTE unless I select the network operator again. Any suggestions on fixing this?
Same issue with Reliance JIO (India) using VO LTE. Seems the phone does not support it either (the 6GB Ram Model)
up!
my 3g does work but lte not always!
I found this article around flashing csc, it seems like it's proven to work when they are the same model eg both g950w.

I would like to ask if you rooted your phone and changed the CSC as per instructions given in the Droidview website?
If you did, and the results were not satisfactory, then you would have tripped Knox, but gained little.
I am in the same situation, and am considering rooting the phone to try the method in Droidview.
Thanks.
I got s8+ from freedom and trust me I absolutely hate their reception. On a drive home or from I get interruptions of voice call for 5+min (highway drive) in some areas. Anywhere in US call reception is hit or miss. In Canada isnt always great other. Now for LTE well, it ok if you catch LTE signal. Allot of the times im on 4g. Speed are very slow. If im lucky I get LTE. So i don't know whether its the service or the phone but im not happy. I'll pay of this phone and move back to FIDO or on US network. Freedom is garbage to me. Im all over the city, country and north america - freedom isnt great for me. Fido was excellent but i didnt get any credit on the phones, in US fido rates are very high.
I am traving to Cancun Mexico on the 23 of june. I currently have an AT&T SIM inserted into my SIM Unlocked S8+. I know AT&T has service in Mexico, but as far as I know the best they got is 3G. I was wondering if I was to go outside out of their AT&T coverage and into another companies coverage while in Mexico Whether it be CDMA or GSM. Would the phone work on all their network bands, or would it be only GSM bands because of the AT&T SIM inserted? Another option I thought about was getting a different SIM in mexico. That might be a better option just in case roaming on my phone is not possible with other carriers out there that aren't GSM supported.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Really hope someone has the answer to my question, because google sure didn't lol.

Yes. It works fine. I live in Southern California and when you get close enough to the Tijuana border in San Diego you may start to roam on a Mexican network. (Unlocked S8+ here)
Will an unlocked TMobile version of this phone work on an existing Verizon line without having to ask verizon to white list the imei or add cdma less etc?
I have

I have Unlocked T-mobile A71 5G, It works on Verizon network like 4G LTE (just swap the SIM card even I have 5G Sim card from Verizon) but NO 5G because they are using different 5G Band.
I have the same question, but on cricket wireless, I can't get the phone to login to their network
It works just fine on any GSM/LTE network. I have not checked this personally for this device, but depending on the variant you have, you may be missing some LTE or 5G bands specific Verizon. You may not get full performance. That must be verified though.
I am thinking of purchasing a Samsung Note 20. If a phone is unlocked I assume it would work on T-Mobile. My question is if I purchase an ATT variant, I know the phone would work with a T-mobile sim, but will VOLTE (wireless calling) work if it an ATT branded phone and wether there's an issues with updates.
Thank you

Basically it should work.
According to the following thread, there might be some issues using 5g though:
