how is this one different from at&amp;t carrier phones?

The unlocked/unbranded Galaxy NOTE II is the best for international travel. Accepts any SIM (micro). Plus NO CONTRACT to sign.

The only noticeable difference that I know of is that the AT&T; model has an extra microphone in the back near the back flash which gets covered up by T -mobile cases.

Well, the one in this picture has the at&t; logo on it. You should look for one that says International Version for the unbranded one. That way you will receive all available updates for the phone and not just the ones at&t; decides you should get.

The phone was delivery locked with the unlocked code in the same packages.I am using this phone in other country. In this case the telco use the same band than AT&T.;This phone include off course all apps from AT&T; and dont include others like glance.I suggest check if the band offered by this model are the same like verizon.

Its neither an international version nor an AT&T version unlocked. Its simply an unlocked phone

This particular model is the international version which has HSPA, which can be branded as 4G but is slower than 4G LTE. If you want 4G LTE you will have to get the US version from AT&T.

I really couldn't say as we have AT&T; IPhones. I don't think there is much difference in the phones though.

The Differences are that One is only a Bluetooth Auxiliar Handset Whitout SIM Card Slot, the other One is a Complete 2G GSM Handset with SIM Card Slot Capability and Use like a Bluetooth Auxiliar Handset too

Yes it is has the same capabilities and all the same features. I have had mine for about a year now and it is doing great I am on Straight Talk but it is hooked to AT&T; through sim card. The only thing I have had a problem with is hooking it to my car system I finally got it to pair but it still won't connect. Have to find someone smarter than I. Hahaha

Virgin Mobile is a CDMA phone and DOES NOT require a SIM card. Two basic technologies in mobile phones, CDMA and GSM represent a gap you can't cross. They're the reason you can't use AT&T phones on Verizon's network and vice versa. We're mostly a CDMA country. It also means we're not part of the norm, because most of the world is GSM. The global spread of GSM came about because in 1987, Europe mandated the technology by law, and because GSM comes from an industry consortium. What we call CDMA, by and large, is owned by chipmaker Qualcomm. This made it less expensive for third parties to build GSM equipment. There are several variants and options carriers can choose, like toppings on their technological ice cream. For call quality, the technology you use is much less important than the way your carrier has built its network. There are good and bad CDMA and GSM networks, but there are key differences between the technologies. It's much easier to swap phones on GSM networks, because GSM carriers put customer information on a removable SIM card. Take the card out, put it in a different phone, and the new phone now has your number. What's more, to be considered GSM, a carrier must accept any GSM-compliant phone. So the GSM carriers don't have total control of the phone you're using. That's not the case with CDMA. In the U.S., CDMA carriers use network-based white lists to verify their subscribers. That means you can only switch phones with your carrier's permission, and a carrier doesn't have to accept any particular phone onto its network. It could, but typically, U.S. carriers choose not to. In other words, you can take an unlocked AT&T phone over to T-Mobile (although its 3G may not work well because the frequency bands are different). You can't take a Verizon phone over to Sprint, because Sprint's network rejects non-Sprint phones.

The difference between them is that each contains a specifice SIM card for that company. For instance, if you order on that is sprint, you cannot get wireless service with AT&T;, and vice verse. The one you choose has to be the one you use for your data plan/wireless service. Of course, you can always connect to a wifi connection i.e at home, with any of them.

AT&T told me they classify a phone as a smartphone based on the type of Operating System (OS) that it has. This one is a "dumb" phone and has a user interface but not a full-blown OS. Smartphones would have something like Windows, Android or the iPhone OS on it. Steer away from those if you don't want to pay for a data plan on AT&T.

You need to look for it by carrier not model number. AT&T are different than say version

Can you be more specific on the kind of phone? At&t; sells a lot of different phones

It's ATT. It's a real note. I use straight talk and you can't tell. Looks as if I have ATT. Get it. Nice phone
