Samsung Galaxy Mega I9502 LTE & I9500

They're both GSM phones, so they need a SIM.

 

You do know you wouldn't be able to get LTE and you'd only get HSPA in refarmed areas

 

I believe you got this backwards. If the megas he is looking at are the same as the att model and not the unlocked international versio they support bands 4 and 7 lte. But do not support the hspa+ t mobile bands. So he would only get 2g or lte.
How much are they selling the megas for? 399 thru metro themselves isnt a bad price at all for it and you dont have to worry if its compatible or not.

 

Nope ATTs is the i527 and in an area where you get LTE on tmobile with ATTs model you're more than likely to get HSPA+ on the 1900MHz band since the equipment basically goes hand in hand

 

You'd only be able to get HSPA+(4G) on the 1900 band, no AWS HSPA or LTE

 

I think Gman missunderstood your question.

If you bought the metro branded device I am fairly sure it will work on both 4glte and AWS hspa.

I have not looked into that phone though so I could be mistaken.

 

Oh yes the metro branded one will get LTE
