[Q] Network problem with T-mobile sim card on VZW Note 3

[eastdeal]

Please help the frustrated me

I put a T-mobile sim card on my VZW Note 3 and added an APN to for the mobile network, the 4G LTE flag shows up in the status bar as expected. The only problem is: when it uses data network instead of WIFI, all non-http network connections seem to get blocked and the only thing I can do is to use the browser to surf Internet. All other apps such as WeChat, Skype don't work at all. WeChat keeps reporting "Server access failure (1, -10087)".

I suspect there's a firewall built in the T-mobile data network but couldn't find any settings about it.

Does any expert here know to solve the problem?

Thanks!

I finally figured out that my Verizon note3 (N900V) can not use the T-mobile LTE network, but once I switched to 3G it worked fine.

This means for APN settings I have to use epc.tmobile.com instead of fast.t-mobile.com. I no longer remember the exact settings but I think it is close to the following (http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1976):

Name: T-Mobile Data (or T-Mobile US)
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>

Username: None
Note: For the Username, enter "None" with the keypad. Do not leave it not set.

Are you sure? I'm able to get 4G LTE on my note 3 when I'm outside. Skype works, facebook, and just about every other app except for wechat.
