note 3

[keithtul]

I currently have a ST s3 using cdma coverage (I'm good with it) and was looking to buy a note 3. I'm looking at 2 Verizon branded ones, snd have a shot a a t mobile branded version. Also have heard at&t is the one I need for ST.
Which version do I need?
Surley the verizon model doesn't use cdma?
My priority is NOT so much the lte speed, but rather full functionality of the text/ talk/data/mms.
Thanks in advance gor your help. I'm new here.

This site will tell you what carriers a particular model of phone will work on, and what frequencies you will use (or lose).

Thanks. That site gave me results contrary to 90% of what I've read on this forum , Howard's forum, and other misc forums. So I'm still confused. Thanks anyway.

Hey. Most people don't know what they're talking about. I've purchased plenty of phones (Prepaid, Contract. Non activated on any lines) and all I've done is buy the correct SIM Card from Straight Talk that is compatible with the phone whether it was an AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile phone. (I don't know about Sprint never tried them with Straight Talk) But get whichever phone you think works best in your area (Sounds like Verizon is the best) And the CDMA Straight Talk SIM Kit includes a network access code, a Nano Sim, and a Standard/Micro Sim. And they're all LTE Enabled. (All Straight Talk Sim's these days are, just depends on if you have LTE Coverage with the Carrier you choose) Oh and youll have to buy the $45 dollar card separate, unless you but the Sim Kit with all 3 Network Sim's. It cost $60 and it has the $45 card with it. I hope this helps! I'll check back daily of you need anymore help.


P.S. Call Straight Talk when when activating the sim. Also make s ire you're talking with a representative, and tell them that it's BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone) then they'll check to see if it's compatible (most phones are) and if it is, they'll activate the phone and sim. Then you just have to ask for the correct APN settings and input them in your phone. After that you should be good to go!
