A: I Googled your question & got this info for you: NETWORK Technology GSM / CDMA / HSPA / EVDO / LTE 2G bands CDMA 800 / 1900 - all versions GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SM-G900V, SM-G900P 3G bands CDMA2000 1xEV-DO - all versions HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - SM-G900V, SM-G900P 4G bands LTE 700 / 1700 / 2100 (Bands 4, 13) - SM-G900V LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 (Bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 17) - SM-G900R4 LTE 850 / 1900 / 2500 (Bands 25, 26, 41) - SM-G900P Speed EV-DO Rev.A 3.1 Mbps, LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps, HSPA GPRS Yes EDGE Yes

Q: Price difference between unlocked

A: I believe it is because the phone carrier supplements the seller (charges the seller less wholesale) because the carrier does not get to load the bloatware that cannot be removed from the phone without rooting (hacking) the Android operating system. Also the carrier ensures that you will use their service only and that is where the money is at for them; the carrier makes their money from the contract and services, not the actual selling of the phone. I could be wrong, but this is the reason that I have found in my research.

Q: I was reading recently that the nokia lumia with windows is a phone that allows you no privacy. Does anyone know about the privacy issues with samsun

A: Generally on Android phones like Samsung the privacy stuff is handled by Google which with a little reading and tinkering with settings you can turn off pretty much most of the things you don't want them to have access to. Tracking and all that sort of thing.

Q: can i keep my num and get a plan i want thru at&t at best buy

A: Yes, you may request to port over your current number. Through best buy mobile.
