@Driss_  I believe Sprint and Verizon phones use CDMA? You might be limited to a band/frequency not available everywhere so which is why you experienced the same issue with Fizz.

@Driss_ if it's an N9009, then it's CDMA version and can't be used with any carrier in Canada as nobody operates a CDMA network here any more.

Hi,

I have a Galaxy Note 3 (unlocked) from Sprint and the phone cannot find and connect to the Public Mobile network. The phone was said to be compatible with Public Mobile. I transfered my cellphone service from Fizz for a similar issue.

Anyone has any information or solutions to this issue? Thanks.
