I've been using it on tmo since yesterday. Solid signal, very stable so far. I ran speedtest this morning and got 56 up\26 down. The speed is crazy fast.

To get the Note 4 working on Verizon:
1. Change the APN setting.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
2. Change the network mode to Global in Mobile networks (same place where you set the APN)
3. Change the voice mail number.
-Open the Phone app, click on the 3 dot Menu button, go to Settings, select Call, select Voice Mail Setting, and change the number from *86 to 123.
-I use Google Voice, so I just switch mine to Google Voice.
4. If touch tone DTMF is not working for you, try to turn of noise reduction or change the DTMF from Short to Long.
5. To get rid of the annoying SIM message in the notification. Tap, hold the message and select App Info then force close it. Do this every time you reboot the phone.

Good to know. I'll be taking this bad boy to Asia next month. Sounds like it'd be a no problem sticking a new sim card as long as I get the APN down 😉

Download Tweakker APN INTERNET MMS app before you leave the country incase you land in an airport with no internet access.

how to remove Verizon bloatware
I'm using the Verizon note 4 with the T Mobile SIM card and it works well, it connects to 4G LTE, but I cannot use mobile hotspot because its integrated with Verizon's services. All the APN settings are fine but it says mobile number not found.

Does anyone know how to remove all of the Verizon bloatware? Things such as the Playstore and settings even have Verizon bloat. Data Usage tool also does not work either.

Also to note, whenever i reboot the phone a permanent notification apoears saying something like, "Sim card is not Verizon," which can only be removed if you force close the activation agent. Its annoying that Verizon left its mark throughout parts of the phone.

Is it possible to make this a Regular galaxy note 4?

(Another weird thing is that the settings menu cannot be switched to carousel mode which the T-Mobile version can do.)

I think T-Mobile sims for lte should use

fast.t-mobile.com

also make sure you do have LTE in your area.
I did it on Galaxy S5 for someone and it was fine.

I'm not near a computer at the moment but i tried uploading screenshots of the APN settings. I am in Los Angeles and get about 15mbps down and up. Remember to set the radios to global as well.

To get rid of that notification, press and hold it until the App Info window appears. Hit that window then you'll go to the Activation Agent app settings. Push "Force Close" and it will disappear.

Nice and easy but the only problem is that you have to do this every time you restart your phone.
