Hi, I have been reading some posts in the Radio thread reporting that they are using the T-mobile Modem. It was unclear whether they had it working on the T-mobile network or just using the modem on the ATT network.

Is there anyone here using the Galaxy Note on T-mobiles 1700Mhz AWS 3G band and getting internet and sms and everything no problem?

I just want to make sure before I go out and purchase one for a lot of money and not have it working.

I will test it once my Note comes in on Wednesday.

My plan is to unlock it here [ http://www.cellunlocker.net/ ], then Odin a t989 modem and test away.

If anyone already has a Note is willing to try this then go for it.

The Att Note does NOT use the 1700mhz band for AWS. I am on my phone but if you want a link Engadget wrote a whole article on it.

Isn't that what they also use to say about the skyrocket? Lol.. that works on T-Mobile 1700 band. :)

Yes, because out of the box it doesn't work. The skyrocket required a t989 modem, so its safe to say this does also.

Now it very well could still not work even after a modem flash... but its worth a try

easy to say it's worth a try when it's not your money :p

my advice to the OP.....save your cash, wait for some other guy with money to burn to try it. Maybe itsjusttim would be kind enough to bust out the greenies to give it a whirl :cool::p

Isn't that what I said I would do in my original post? Wednesday is when I receive my Note and will attempt this myself. :)

Can people please stop referring to the Engadget post. All they are saying is that it will NOT work by just unlocking it out of the box. Please see I have posted some questions for Myriam on Engadget that posted that article and she said this article was only meant out of the box in her replies since most people will not root and stuff she was simply talking about out of the box.

If this does work will it support 21 or 42 mbps theoretically?

Wifi Calling

Any thoughts on how to enable Wifi calling for T-Mobile (on the new AT&T galaxy note that is)?

Could this http://www.xda-developers.com/android/wifi-calling-app-for-jpk-2-2-1/ wifi calling app not work with ANY android?

I don't believe that one would work.. our best bet for that is to have a developer who is partial to T-Mobile and takes the version from the t989 and adds it to a rom.

I'm sure it could be done, but we would have to convince a dev to help.
