Have a look here and see if your town/city is on the list for March upgarde for DC-HSDPA http://blog.three.co.uk/2013/02/11/our-ultrafast-commitment-2/
I have the same problem. I was told the phone was 4g ready and I believe 3's website also stated that the phone was 4g. Phoned yesterday and was initially told that yes it is. I asked them to note it and he then said that the phone is not 4g. He raised a complaint for me and 3 phoned me today and told me that I should have returned the phone within 14 days and I had no grounds for complaint. I told him they had mis-sold the phone to me. After that he would not take the complaint any further. Is there someone else that I can speak to?
Hi, I first rang their customer services to make a complaint, they were useless! I then rang their complaints team on 0800 358 4916, spent an hour on phone to a advisor who knew nothing, she closed my complaint...at this point I was fumming! I then got hold of their executive complaints in Scotland on 08433733330, who swiftly exchanged my handset....I will note though I have previously rang up 3 in December out this issue and they note padded my account stating the phone was 4G ready and I said that when i got the phone my local store had also told me it was 4G ready when 3 launch 4G!
Good luck and I hope this helps!

No worries, I came across it on a forum somewhere, hope you get it sorted! Just add trading standards and ofcom into the conversation, that should help a bit

I believe Phones4U have been selling the N7105 for a while, I brought the N7100 from 3 direct on them telling me it was 4G ready... Hope that clears that up.

By "the new ultrafast variant" I'd assume it's an N7105, since the N7100 doesn't even support DC-HSDPA so it's not ultrafast at all.
In short: I highly doubt it.
Thanks, well if the standard note 2 gives me similar speeds to my S3 did when I owned one I'd be happy enough really.
My view on DC HSDPA is that often its a difference of around £60 (contract or prepay) overall which in 1yr or so when the phone is sold on would be mostly recouped in the form of higher resale value.
So thats obviously the one to buy because it has the ability to use DC as it becomes quickly introduced during 2013.
BUT .. if ROMs are your priority go for the N7100

4I hit the high street today in search of an N7105 to go on three's network with the hope of being 4G ready, this is what I found
1) I went into a 3 store and got to play with a real "3" note 2, this was an N7100 despite "3's" customer service promising me that it was 4G ready for sure, it turns out they are currently only stocking the N7100 what is really bad is that 3 are pushing the fact that they are upgrading their network to DC-HSDPA (theoretical 42 Mbps real world 15 mbps) but regarding Samsungs the only DC-HSDPA phone available are the Galaxy S3 LTE and the Note 2 LTE, so the regular note 2 will not be able to make the best of "3s" newly enhanced network.
2) I went into phones 4U as independent phone shops buy their own phones and so in theory will be able to sell you an N7105 on any network you want. This was even worse! where as T-mobile/Orange customers are getting the N7105 direct from their provider if they either start up new contracts or upgrade, if you sign up to a new contract or upgrade via phones 4U they are dishing out the N7100, they don't have any N7105's in stock and when they get them they will be exclusively dishing them out to people signing up to new contracts on EE.
If I was with T-Mobile/Orange and got an N7100 through phones 4U when I was meant to get an N7105 I would be very unimpressed.3
Sorry to say but, you're wrong.
It's well known what frequencies will be used and the n7105 will work on all of them, plus as the op said it has dc-h+ which means you can get unlimited near 4g speeds with all you can eat data from Three for as little as £12.90 pcm.
It's £509 for the phone.
£12 to unlock
Clearly the best option for the money conscious data hog.
And OP you might not be able to get an n7105 from anyone other than EE for sometime, or they might appear tomorrow. It has about the same likelihood of the 32gb version turning up.
(Actually Samsung might have said the 32 isn't coming? I'm not sure on that one?)
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app2Newbie to this forum or not, I have to say that you could have got your point across without using the last line.2I believe EE are to blame for not being able to but the N7105 SIM free they must have a deal with Samsung or something. As I work for CPW and we can sell the N7100 on Pay as u go, Pay Monthly and SIM free. Though we can only sell the N7105 on Pay Monthly with EE!
Though we have stopped being able to sell the N7100 on 3 now, they have instructed us not to, I believe this is because they are only stocking the N7105 model themselves so it stops 3rd party companies misselling etc, though it's a shame we can't sell it SIM free....it's very frustrating!
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 22Ok so last week I rang up 3 again to ask them when my Note 2 (N7100) will accept their Ultrafast Internet.... Bearing in mind I knew before that it needs to be the N7105, but plenty of their customer service representatives and a manager all stated my phone is 4G ready. After I while I was told yes it Ultrafast Internet available, I asked is that 4G or the DC-HSPDA? I got no where so I raised a complaint after being miss sold a phone, this didn't get me any further, just wasting an hour on the phone with 3s complaints department with an obnoxious customer service representative who hasn't a clue the difference between 3G, DC-HSPDA and 4G....was I surprised no! After an hour she refused to raise my complaint higher, this didn't go down well.
I then got hold of 3s executives customers services department who rang me back today, they are based in Scotland rather than India. The guy basically admitted that 3 had mislead me and offered me the S3 LTE version for 3 as an exchange as they don't sell the Note 2 LTE version. I declined as I don't really want to go backwards, but took the Sony Xperia Z instead as it's the only phone out there other than the Note 2 which is fairly decent.
So I suggest if there is anyone else on 3 and have been told that your model is 4G ready, get it noted on your account and then complain!
