I cant seem to find out. Will the unlocked version work on Sprint. I get a much better deal if I preorder the unlocked version, but I'm on Sprint 
Unlocked Version on Sprint
- Thread starter kbboykin

Thanks. I know the OTA updates take longer, but I get more off if I order that one and trade my Note 8. Im only getting the regular Note 10. I feels more like my beloved Note 7's size.
Sprint firmware? I ordered the base Note 10 unlocked and got a Sprint sim card for it directly from Samsung using their Galaxy forever program. I can trade it every year and basically be paying 1/2 the cost of a new one. It will ship on 9/4. The Note 10+ is just way to big for my small hands. I'll keep my Note 9 as a backup, traded the Note 8, and the Note 9 will be used when I need higher specs. I do like the thinness of the base Note 10 as well. Looking forward to it.
I too ordered the Note 10 as + would be too big
When you get your new phone and put in Sprint sim, check to see if you have anything missing, feature wise(WiFi calling, VoLTE). If you don't then you are fine, if you do, then flashing Sprint firmware is an alternative.

Got the unlocked with a Sprint sim from Samsung
Wifi calling and VoLTE seem to be intact. But keeps saying WiFi calling app missing. Radio signal can be weak at times.
Hmm, WiFi calling is built into the system, so there should not be an app needed here. Did you transfer your data, settings from your previous phone? Maybe that device had wifi calling app which got onto your new device and somehow conflicts with the current settings
Yes, initially restored from Samsung backup, then from smart switch. I just wanna make sure I have the best modem firmware. This is the first time in a long time I'm getting 1x or 3G signal where I always got 4G/LTE.
So you have Note10+ or the regular note10? You can flash it with SPR firmware, it is available on SamFirm
I can't really say what would the best modem be, but I think the carrier would have as they test it on their network
If I flash it, could I use any other carrier in the future? Would it be better to get OTA updates?
If you flash it to SPR, you would get OTA updates when Sprint pushes it and you will be able to re-flash it to original unlocked firmware or to another carrier. I have T-Mobile firmware on my Note10
So, reading the other threads, since I have the U1 model, do I flash tube U or U1 firmware?
U1 is what you have. You need U, if you want SPR firmware. Run SamFirm app on your PC and type in your model as: SM-N970U and for region put: SPR. See if Auto is selected and and on the right side see if Check crs32 and decrypt auto is selected hit check update
I know this is a dumb question, but if I flash this will my phone still be unlocked?
