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

frankly I would look at the Note II - It is an order of magnitude better.

It is a better phone but for 1/2 the price you can enjoy TMobile LTE speeds on the GNote i717 :D

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?

Its the standard size, you still can use micro size, but just need to put it on the right spot. Its simple
