From everything I have seen, no.

The LTE bandwidths are different on the two carriers.

The AT&T and Tmobile galaxy note 2 are the same all around. Same LTE bands as AT&T version. So it should work but I'm looking for one who has tested this..

I'm pretty sure that the only thing that has been changed on the T-Mobile GNote is the addition of the AWS band.

I have a T-Mobile GN2 on AT&T LTE at it works perfectly. I made another post once I found this out and let others know that it does work just fine.

what kind of plan do u have with at&t in order to get lte. i know u have to call them in order to give your imei to enable lte on the phone. they block lte by imei dtatabase.
 
Re: Will T-Mobile GNOTE 2 work with AT&T LTE?

You have to unlock the phone first in order to get AT&T on a T-MO phone. Once it's unlocked you put in the sim card and it should work. If it doesn't recognize the card try rebooting the phone with the sim in it.

You sure it's really lte? People at xda says it won't work but AT&T says it will. Did you change the apn or flash a AT&T modem? I need to know as my wife and I may take our note 2 and gs3 to them.
 
Re: Will T-Mobile GNOTE 2 work with AT&T LTE?

Trust xda
Att sales people say what you need to hear to make the sale.

You will get 4g hsdpa and hsdpa + for sure.

If u do this, try flashing the modem and tell us your speed test results. If u get 9mbps or lower its hsdpa+
If you get much faster, lte

Anyone know if this will work? I read conflicting reports. Some say yes or some say no. Not sure how to flash a modem but I will if I need to. I am getting a t-mobile note 2 from a friend but I use AT&T.

if I were you, even if you can get LTE, i would sell the TMo Note 2 and buy a preowned ATT Note 2. You likely won't lose money on this type of transaction.

Tmo is primarly using AWS band 4 for LTE. ATT also uses it, but I believe they primarly use a different band. Long story short is, I think you'll get LTE service with other company's device whenever Band 4 is used in your area for LTE service.
 
Re: Will T-Mobile GNOTE 2 work with AT&T LTE?

I am not sure if this makes a difference but when I first Got my unlocked t-Mobile note 2(I have AT&T service) It would take about 30 seconds to find a signal, and I did not have lte. I would also notice the phone occasionally searching for signal. I changed the apn settings to ones I found on XDA and now the phone finds signal right away after being turned on, and I now have lte. These are the settings I tried.

Amazing! I've been searching for these settings all over the place. I changed my settings to exactly what you have above and it worked like a charm. Much appreciated, sir.
 
Re: Will T-Mobile GNOTE 2 work with AT&T LTE?

Thank you so much for this information which I've been looking for almost 2 hours on internet. Very much appreciated.
 
Re: Will T-Mobile GNOTE 2 work with AT&T LTE?

Oh! I forgot to ask you a question:

I unlocked my T-Mobile HTC One and got a new AT&T line. I applied the settings above and I have 4g now, Do I need to make any adjustments to the settings above to get 4G lte from AT&T?

Thanks.
