Can an unlocked t mobile phone work on Canadian networks for example on fido? Also can a unlocked At&t phone work on Canadian carriers as well?
yes,Install the official rom. By hiding the menu can be unlocked. Please search the forum.

Specifically... the booloader will be unlocakable (or at least easier than carrier restricted versions) and I can falsh roms etc, correct?
I would be bringing this to my T-mobile plan.
Is any of the process made easier by the fact that its an unlocked version?
Thanks in advance

The process would be the same to root and/or unlock the bootloader. Seeing as T-Mobile allows the bootloader to remain unlocked, it's neck and neck with the International variant. I just bought the 920I and that was just because I want to be able to flash custom roms & kernels as soon as they come out, and that's really the only benefit is the dev support. You get wifi calling and LTE advanced calling with the T-Mobile variant so I think if you will be on T-Mobile then I would stick to the T-Mobile S6.

If you have tmobile you're already lucky enough to have an unlocked version. If you buy an international variant then as of now there's a call audio issue regarding using cross variant roms.
If you use a TMO rom on the international variant, you lose call audio and vice versa: using an international rom on a tmo variant. Everything you think you'd be getting as a benefit from purchasing the international variant is actually already included in the Tmo variant.
Verizon and ATT are the ****ers here when it comes to locking their bootloaders.
Buy it from TMO you'll likely save money seen as they're your carrier and it will function properly too.
I'm on xtrestolite with custom recovery root obviously and ktoon kernel if you need proof haha. Tmo S6 here
Guys, I have a question for anyone that's SIM unlocked their 920T's. At the moment, my 920T is running xtresolite 2.2. It's based off a 920F firmware. As you know, this is an International version. To further complicate things, I needed to SIM unlock my phone so right now I'm using the MetroPCS COF9 baseband. Every time I switch back to a T-Mobile based ROM, my SIM unlock gets pulled and the phone is relocked back to T-Mobile (has been confirmed in multiple posts on XDA). I'd just stay with xtresolite 2.2 but I have no wifi calling or volte. I'm trying to find a rom for this phone that supports a different carrier sim as well as volte/wifi calling when I switch back to my T-Mobile sim. Is this possible?
All the ROM's I find for the 920T are either locked down T-Mobile ROM's under that development section and the general development section is mostly compatible International variants - but lacking WiFi calling or VoLTE. I'm beginning to think these two things just can't work together on the same ROM.
Thanks so much in advanced for a reply!

Other than that, not sure about WIFI Calling etc
I recently purchased a factory unlocked T Mobile GS6. I intend to use it on Cricket. I don't expect to have any problems with that, but will I have problems flashing roms? Can I flash G920T roms?
Thanks in advance
Cricket uses the AT&T Network not T-Mobile

They overlap. An unlocked T-Mobile phone will work on cricket or ATT. I am not concerned about that. I am trying to find out, primarily, if I flash the MM rom for the 920T, will it 'lock' my phone?
I know I am aware of that most of carrier branded (ATT, Verizon, etc.) all come with locked bootloader, what about international version? is it the same?
also which version of Note 5 you would recommend that does not tights to any of phone companies, but work world-wide, including USA?

N920C is the international variant but N920I should also be okay and no, they don't have locked bootloaders.
You can check which variant is best for you by going to this site:

And selecting the device model and your sim provider
Hello, the question is as shown. I was unsure as GSM Arena showed it had support and I recall being able to flash a CDMA Rom to get this working.
