Thonkingof getting unlocked att note for t-mobile use

Will the unlocked 717 att model work just fine on t-mobile's 4gnetwork?I am thinking of buying one and just putting my micro sim in it for some good t-mobile usage.Does the phone need some rooting or is it good to go as soon as i get it?

If it is already unlocked, you should be able to pop the Tmobile sim in and use it right away. Do you know which Android OS your phone has? I went ahead and rooted mine and put a custom stock touchwiz rom (Padawan JB) and I'm getting phenomenal LTE speeds. You may also need to change your APN settings

It should work but you should verify if LTE has shown up in your area.

Have you checked Sensorly.com for the coverage area map?

Yeah i have verify with t-mobile, i called and ask them if there 1700/2100 band in my area, they said yeah. cause they already refarm!. So that mean ill get LTE. Wooooooo!. But dont i have to do a lil edit on the apn?
