N900T is USA T-Mo. It is better if you're using USA LTE but otherwise is the same. I'm using an N9005 ROM on my N900T with some mods to make it work.

So you are on the Tmobile network in the USA, correct?

Are you still able to get H+ and LTE service?

Would it be possible to get Tmobile LTE on the N9005 model, by say flashing the modem, radio, or a N900T rom to get H+ & LTE service with Tmobile - including their wifi calling feature that they load into their version of the Android stock TW Rom on their Samsung phones?

Thanks for any help and guidance, as I'm deciding if I should just stick with getting the N900T, even though it seems like there's a lot more available for much cheaper prices of the unlocked international version of the Note 3, and I'm primarily concerned with LTE and wifi calling working on the phone.

I'm using N9005 OS on N900T in USA on T-Mo prepaid $30 plan with a few tweaks, but I still use the N900T radio which gives LTE (shows as "4G" on the indicator though, you can see LTE in phone status). I'm guessing the N900T and N9005 are the same hardware and flashing N900T radio would get you the LTE bands but as I don't own an N9005 I can't say for sure. If other N9005 users say it's safe to flash the T-Mo radio then go ahead. I would stick with the N9005 ROM though as the N900T ROM is full of T-Mo bloat. That's why I'm using an N9005-based ROM.

I just bought a N900T and I was thinking to root and install a custom rom (I don't like the bloat) ;
Which N9005 roms did you try ?
Which one are you using now ?
Is everything working (apart from that wifi calling) ?
Thanks

I was using the stainless ROM which was N9005 stock adapted to run on N900T. Now I'm using CM11 hltetmo which is still pretty early. If you want to stick with a touchwiz rom I'd use stainless, or if you prefer AOSP give CM11 a try.
