different between tmobile note 3 and at&t note 3?

[sqa4life]

Hi,
what is/are the different between the tmobile version and the at&t version of the note 3? (beside the phone is locked to their own network)

I have at&t, but saw a guy on Craigslist is selling his unlocked tmobile note 3 for $500.

I wonder, will you get AT&T's LTE with a Tmobile phone? Hopefully, someone will chime in.

Reading on xda, i found threads that say the tmobile version can work on att but not the other way around. Can't say for certain myself.

I read somewhere that the T-Mobile version has an unlocked boot loader while the ATT version does not.

The tmobile Note 3 has band 4, 5 and 17 lte support, same bands att uses. Note that the note does come sim locked, so if you buy the tmobile version, you would need to unlock it before using on att , same the other way around.

The PhoneScoop info page for the Galaxy Note 3 (GSM) shows that the T-mobile version and the AT&T version support all of the same modes (technologies + frequency bands), EXCEPT that that the AT&T version does NOT support WCDMA 1700. According to that same page, HD Voice (higher-quality, wideband telephone audio) is supported by the T-mobile version ONLY. I read elsewhere that AT&T is required to provide unlocking codes for phones sold by them (except for iPhone and phones sold exclusively by them) on request, pursuant to a class-action consent decree. With T-mobile, there are apparently waiting periods that can range from 40 days of being a T-mobile customer to 90 days after exercising a "subsidy unlock," whatever that is. Of course, you can always try to unlock your phone other than through the carrier. There may be more differences between the T-mobile and AT&T versions, but those were the major points I took away from what I read on the subject.
