Will International version work on AT&T?

[pcguys]

Can I take the SIM from my AT&T Note 3 and put it in the international Note 4?

I saw this on amazon: it says it's international, unlocked:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SM-N9...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU4246066

What are the pro's & cons of doing this? AT&T is gouging $825 for a note 4 while the international version is $668.

Specifically: how are updates handled? I supposed if I don't buy an AT&T branded phone, they are not providing updates. Is that bad or good?

Are there any carrier specific updates that I would not get?

Would the international version have less bloat-ware and junk-ware on it?

Is it worth spending the extra money to get it right from AT&T?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Mike

I'm not sure if it will work on AT&T or not, but if it does, one thing that really sticks out is that the N910H doesn't support LTE.. Your internet experience will be less than stellar.

i think it would be a bad idea because the LTE bands would be all FUBAR. stick with the USA version. don't be penny wise and pound foolish.

good luck.

WAIT:
What about:
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910a 32GB AT&T Unlocked GSM 4G LTE Smartphone - Black

Amazon.com: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910a 32GB AT&T Unlocked GSM 4G LTE Smartphone - Black: Cell Phones & Accessories

This appears to be a US version for $705 instead of AT&T's $825.

Same questions: who does updates? any downsides? This does appear to be LTE.

Thanks,
Mike
