Anyone know if it is possible to unlock Sprint Note 4 to work on T-mobile?

Unlock it to take a TMobile SIM? Any phone can be SIM-unlocked, all you need is the unlock code. Will it work on TMobile? For voice, text and 2G data. The radios are different in the Sprint and TMobile versions.

Thanks guys. What are the frequency ranges required on tmobile?
2g 1900
3g/4g 1900,1700/2100
LTE bands 2(1900),4(1700/2100), and 12 (700MHz lower blocks a, b, and c)

Keep in mind that certain features like wifi calling and download booster might not work

That's not true! I was at Tmobile today and they said they can use Sprint phones with their towers
Did they say that you'll get full 4G speeds with them? You can use the phones. They'll work. That doesn't mean that you'll get everything a phone made for TMobile will get. The phone will work - TMobile was telling you the truth. Just not the whole truth. The whole truth is that your data speed will be about 48kbps maximum. Not bad for email (that's how fast texting goes, after all), but it's going to take a while to load a web page that has graphics on it.

I wouldn't try it on TMobile. When I had my Verizon Note 4, I tried on TMobile and got only 2mbs speeds, which was pathetic. I didn't even leave the store once i activated it and saw that, I turned around and cancelled my account. It will not get very fast speeds at all. So I would try a CDMA carrier that works with Verizon or Sprint. I traded my Verizon N4 in for an ATT Note 4, just because I couldn't even get it work with everything on ATT.

My older Note 2 worked great on ATT and it was a Verizon N2. So I don't know what the problem was with the Note 4 other than not being GSM.

Anyone have the Sprint Note 4 (SM-N910P) and able to use it on MetroPCS?

do you get high speed 4G LTE data speeds? or only 2G/3G?

Please let me know how you were able to get your Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910P, on Android 5.1.1) to work with Metro PCS!

PLEASE HELP!

Not true I am using my sprint note 4 on metro pcs now

Chantele, how were you able to get your Sprint Note 4 (SM-N910P) to work on and use it on MetroPCS?

Also, do you get high speed 4G LTE data speeds? or only 2G/3G?

Please let me know how you were able to get your Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4. My Noe 4 is: SM-N910P, on Android 5.1.1.
