Hi!
Sorry if this is old news...
I've just been speaking with Tesco Mobile (a UK operator providing Pay As You Go service on the back of the O2 network) and apparently you CAN get UMTS / 3G service from them, however it isn't advertised anywhere, you have to ask for a 3G SIM.
So I've asked.

Hello, can anyone help?!!
I have an O2 XDA IIs on the O2 network in the UK. I understand that this device is quad-band. Will I be able to use it in Japan?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks. xsandwich.
As for info from 2003, there was NO GSM network in Japan.
They "only" have 3G networks
There was a plan however to deploy 2G (GSM) for tourists from technologically retarded rest of the world
So if you want to roam in Japan, you need a CDMA phone. (or PDC or WCDMA).
In this case XDAIIs is not enough :/
You still can take it to play Jawbreaker though. OMG
Number of questions...
I currently live in the UK and use the following mobiles the MDA Compact IV and the Samsung U900 soul as my back up phone (both currently locked to T-Mobile). I am about to move to Dubai and would like to know:::
1) Will these phones work over there... really confirm what I think (IE they will provided they are unlocked).
2) Does T-Mobile operate over there? If not what service providers are there and how competitive are they? I benefit from being on an employees tariff with T-Mobile at the moment.
3) Does anyone want to buy a T-Mobile branded Athena with the AP4.0 Rom?

I think GSM and CDMA standard here is same as Europe. There are only 2 operators, Etisalat and Du.
Du is just new and has some coverage problem so you may want to go with Etisalat.
I have been here 2 years and I am not impressed by bought Etisalat and Du.
WCDMA is umts
CDMA is a 2g phone std. that America and few others use that don't use sim cards
don't believe Dubai use CDMA
Hello everyone. I recently moved to Germany from the US and had my Fuze SIM unlocked. Well today I went to a T-mobile kiosk and the rep told me that I can use the phone for regular phone service with no problems but he didn't think that the US spec Fuze would work on the Internet with their data plan? Does anyone know if this is true? Why would it not work? Does T-mobile in Germany use a different band for Internet that the US Fuze doesn't support? Any information that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

for normal gsm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
for umts (3g)
and of cause if you got a non gsm device like a simcardless cmda phone == nowhere
itll work fine for phone and data up to 2g. if you want 3g check if it can do international bands or just us ones.

Zapp Mobile is the first CDMA mobile phone operator in Romania, since the country's market leaders use GSM. Overall, Zapp is the fifth largest network operator in the country and the 4th mobile operator. Zapp has around 500,000 subscribers, giving the CDMA network around 2% market share. It is also the only EV-DO mobile data operator in Romania

Hi! I have a specific trouble, searched in Internet and I finally decided to ask here. I hope someone can give me some "illumination" to this...
I have an old FreedomPop sim in Spain (3G only). It works with Orange 3G in my town (the "official" mobile network is Yoigo 3G, but there isn't here, so Orange cover it in its place). The problem is that the carrier set the SIM up wrongly and it "believes" that Movistar is an available mobile network for data, but it doesn't (FreedomPop had contract with them at the beginning, but not anymore, as far as I know).
So, before I went to a town with a Yoigo 3G network, it connected sometimes to Orange, sometimes to Movistar. They never appear together in the mobile networks section in my Android when I look them up: it's just Movistar, Movistar and Vodafone, or just Orange. If I'm lucky, it catches Orange; if not, it connects to Movistar (so no data at all, just emergency calls).
So, after I went to that Yoigo 3G town, my cell phone never catches Orange anymore. FreedomPop offered a free SIM change to us users (with LTE speed), but with worst contract conditions, so I would like to keep this one.
My question is: is there any way to "say" to the cell phone that ignore the SIM info about "it's ok to connect to the Movistar mobile network"? I tried tons of times to find it in the mobile networks section, but Orange doesn't appear (I have another cell phone here that requires Orange and it's always connected)
I have a Sony Xperia Neo V (mt11i) with a manually flashed Android 4.0.4 (official). Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers!
