Network on Galaxy Note 10.1

[Rynelle Eksteen]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8000) and want to subscribe for a data package. The service provider informed me that their services are different from other service providers as their network is CDMA not GSM so I can use their sim card only if my tablet supports CDMA network.
Some website say it does support CDMA and some say only GSM/HSPA.
Please assist?

These specs say GSM only: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet With 3G + Wi-Fi | Grey

There are CDMA and GSM versions of the N8000, If there's no manufacturer's logo on it, you'll probably have to bring it into the carrier's store and ask if they can activate it. Their tech people can probably identify the carrier it's for if it's CDMA. (If it's GSM, you can still get a data account on a GSM carrier [AT&T or TMobile], but if the better carrier for you [base it on coverage - everything else is secondary - a $2/month unlimited data account is no good if you don't have a signal where you need one], you'll have to unlock it if it's for the wrong carrier [see eBay for people who sell unlock codes].)
