Pre-ordered, but I will keep my SGS2 until I am sure there are no serious issues.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I am uncertain. It depends on when Verizon releases it and what other HTC or Moto phones will be released around that time.
I'll wait...

Labas! Kaip sekasi? Any time is good to use my limited Lithuanian skills
For me it depends on what ends up happening to the USA version...if they make changes to it I will either have to buy an international version or wait for something else.
As myliu Lietuva I plan to visit it soon.

For me using unlimited dumbphone data for half the price on the international version easily outweighs getting a subbed phone on 2 gigs a month.
Where's the option for "I'm waiting for the price to drop in a few months"?
Very happy with my Note at the moment. But will see how things go over the next couple of months.

You can use the $15 non smartphone unlimited data plan with the international version. This will work because at&t won't have the imei of the international version in their system. Obviously don't tell this to at&t, just say you have a dumb phone and need to use data with it. They will ask the imei of the dumbphone, just give the sgs3 imei.

Does that really work? I mean it would be easy to buy any cheap international phone and give that imei and save a lot of money in data plans. Somehow I think they will notice the high data usage. Just sounds too good.

Yes, I am using the i9100 on the non smartphone data plan. I gave AT&T the imei of my old Moto V180 and it shows up when I log in onto my AT&T account. I hope it stays like this forever but in reality, I believe it's only a matter of time before AT&T catches on
15 dollars for unlimited data, or combine with 20 dollar unlimited texting + 10 unlimited data it's not bad either. I burn through 5-6 gigs of month and have been for the past 8 months since I bought the i9100.
Check it out, here are a list of phones that work on AT&T.

I am aware that they are not compatible but I have a question about the bands. So AT&T and Verizon use the same 700MHz but the bands are different. Verizon uses Band 13 and AT&T uses Band 4 and 17. Are the bands strictly hardware only? Or can you add a mod where it can pickup AT&T LTE?

When I pop in the sim from my One X into the DNA the data icon constantly cycles between H+, H, and 3G. I've added an AT&T APN but it's still doing the same thing. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the tip, I had sent an eBay seller an offer of $700 last night. Luckily he didn't accept it and countered back at 730. Now I scooped it up for 600 from Amazn!
Any updates?

Not to rehash an old thread (well I did mean to)...but any updates on how this is working out on AT&T? I had a Nexus 4 running on the network here in Charlotte and wasn't too pleased with the speeds I was getting. Ran back to my One X real quick. But I'm ready to grab one of these I think.

Yeah, this is the European model finally getting tested Stateside.
I just don't like the new Value Plans over the old(er) plans... Data wise, they suck (for me anyway)
Glad to see this being done in the States, I just hope it is adopted.
I am going to pay out of my Sprint contract and going the route of Nexus 4 and prepaid.
Hello guys,
The Straight Talk service on my HTC One DEV had been decreased significantly since I reactivated it last month. Enough 0.16Mps download speed for me, so I decided to return the Dev version (due to some minor physical imperfections) and got a T-Mobile version.
As I read on the forum, the T-Mobile version of the One has all the bands that AT&T version doesn't. With military discount, I pay roughly 60 bucks per month for unlimited everything (only 15 bucks more from what I pay with Straight Talk). So this is a good deal for me.
Hopefully I have made a right choice

As a brit I have no first hand knowledge on this, but I believe AT&T use different LTE bands to those supported by the Mega, so there won't be any LTE support but you should get some sort of signal.
Various news sites have reported that AT&T are going to release a custom variant of the mega, which will obviously work fine. So it may be worth waiting for that?
"AT&T says it will start selling it Friday for $150 with a two-year service contract. It's also coming to Sprint and U.S. Cellular."

Since its unlocked unbranded ATT assumes its a dumb phone, hence I am eligible to use the 10$ medianet unlimited plan (need the $30 messaging unlimited plan for the $10 medianet otherwsie medianet is $15)
If ATT does detect my unlocked unbranded phone they only do so at the start of each billing cycle. All I have to do is swap my sim into an ATT dumbphone and revert back to medianet unlimited on OLAM or over the phone. Then I swap back into my unlocked phone and I'm good for another month.

I've been playing this game for 9 years lol. I've saved quite a bit on data ($10 vs $30 a month) I save $240 bucks a year, over two years thats $480 which I then apply towards a new unlocked unbranded device.
If they offered a 1GB $10 a month data plan then I would go legit and even buy/upgrade devices through at&t. They like to screw you on data as the cheapest data plan they offer is 200MB for $15. That's just disrespectful lol.
Bottom line, even if AT&T gives me a brand new high end smart phone for FREE that means I have to pay $20 more dollars a month for data. I would still lose even if they give me a free flagship phone. They make their money on the inflated data plan.
