Why do I get only EDGE?

[AC Question]

Hello everybody, some wweks ago i traded an iphone 5 for a samsung galaxy note 2, then i discovered that the phone is refurbished as on the back says a imei and model n7100 and in settings apper to be n7105 and a different imei. When i try to connect to internet, i always connect on edge, if i pick 2g only, it's Edge, 2g/3g/4g it's Edge, 3g only it's No service....What can I do? I flashed 3 different stock roms, i flashed cm 12.1 i tried anything, setting are right... Thanks in advance

I am wondering if the radio bands supported by the device are unavailable in your area. Go here to find out WillMyPhoneWork.net - Check if your phone works on a network

Hello, i went on this site and it does tick 2g 3g 4g, like it works on every radio

OK How about if you try the device as an n7100? Sorry to ask these things but I don't know where you are based and who your provider is

OK I've done a further check Both models should work on 2G&3G and the 105 also on 4G. I think the phone is defective and should be returned

I made a local trade, i cannot change it back... If it was defective it couldnt connect to internet at all, but it connects, but only with edge....No possibly fix?

Have you tried contacting your service provider? They will be able to make sure your APN is set correctly.

It is set correctly, Orange has the same APN for all network types

Scratching my head now. Are you able to try another sim?

I tried another sim, it doesn't work neither only 2g, i found out that the imei which is in settings is for a device that doesn't even exist model: GM 203 manufacturer: G.M...
