I can confirm this works. I have a T-mobile sim inserted in my Verizon Note 3. Make sure you change your apn settings. I've had issues sending and receiving MMS with the suggested T-mobile apn settings. I have APN protocol set to IPv4 and APN roaming protocol set to IPv4/IPv6. This worked for awhile then it stopped working after I started playing with settings again (I just can't leave things alone). I managed to get mms working using hangouts to send and receive mms. I had to open hangouts go to settings - SMS - Access point names - select fast.metropcs.com.

Writing this just made me think of something else to try. I will try and report back. I would love others feed back to help refine this beast!

Have any of your tried and make sure that Verison Note 3 gets T-mobile LTE signal?

Tmo lte is not everywhere yet, should be able to at least get hspa. As far as I know, all of the gn3 variants in us / have lte capability should work. Att ones only work in refarmed areas.

You wouldn't have it since wifi calling is only for tmobile phones

Just curious, Mr gummy. Are you planning on entering a 2 year contract with Verizon six months from now?

Maybe....unless tmobile data gets better in my area with the recent purchase of the new band from Verizon I hope that is the case

Ok. I ask because it came to my attention during research into my own recent phone purchases that Verizon will only allow LTE phones like the Note 3 onto their network via a postpaid plan, which means a contract. As long as you're planning to go back to Vz on a 2 year postpaid contract 6 months from now, things should work out fine.

As for the swap helping things in your area, from what I've read, the t-mobile/vz spectrum swap won't even be finalized until sometime this summer. Then they've got to actually gear up to use it. Could be a year or more before it sees wide use.

Also, even though it's Vz spectrum, it's a block that Vz never used. So there's no guarantee any existing phone will be able to access the new spectrum, including a Vz Note 3, even with some sort of radio firmware update. The new spectrum is great for the future, but I wouldn't count on it swinging anything in T- mobiles favor in the time frame you've indicated.

Sorry if this has been asked. What about using unlocked tmobile note 3 on verizon network? Is it possible? I don't know much about what bands needed for verizon . I'm thinking about switching to verizon if I can use tmobile note 3 on their network.

Sardonik · Jan 13, 2014

Nope. The T-mobile Note 3 doesn't have a CDMA radio, for one.
