[Q] Is a dual carrier Galaxy Note II possible?

[stinkeye22]

So anyway,
I work for Sprint and just got a free Note II. Am I crazy at thinking there has to be a way to have the phone activated on both AT&T and Sprint at the same time and choose data from one or the other? Dual boot ....
My S3 is AT&T and data speeds are awesome here but Sprint has limited coverage, (it's getting better though)
When the Note II came out I joked around about getting it and throwing my AT&T radio into it so that I could get the data speeds while using the sprint phone service I get for free. Now that I have one, it would be perfect if I could get the free phone service from Sprint. I'm still under contract with AT&T and plan to stay that way for a while, I've got the grandfathered $30 unlimited internet. I really don't know much but I'm learning. I can't find any bandwith the sprint model supposedly wont cover (except one LTE) I can't find any reason why either carrier will not allow the same phone to be active on both, although I also can't think of why anyone would want to pay two carriers for the same phone either lol. Is there a way to run a dual boot ROM to accomplish this or something close to it? Will the hardware in the Sprint version register correctly on the AT&T towers? Any thoughts on this subject?

Even if you could it's not condoned here to get paid things for free, especially wireless service.

What he's asking for is legit, re-read the OP to understand the situation.

@OP, is the Sprint Note II a world phone? Does it have a SIM card slot? If not, I'm afraid it's a no go. Sprint is CDMA and ATT is GSM - they're two different technologies.

Sorry, I thought I was clear. I get Sprint service free (well, if you can call it free, I work for them) & I religiously pay my bill at AT&T because I will take the $30 data plan to my grave...

You were clear, it's getting late here and I'm falling asleep here.

Specs-
CDMA:
800, 1900 MHz
GSM:
850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS:
850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz
LTE:
1900 MHz
It does have a sim card, it's quite a few little screws away from freedom & the phone is under no contract

Check out the Sprint Note II forum. I flipped through a few threads about this and it looks like people have made some "progress", but I don't see a working solution yet (but maybe I didn't read far enough).
