Hi,
I have done some searching but couldn't come across with a firm answer, So can you guys help me out?
I'm currently with Rogers, if I purchased an unlocked phone from someone or ebay.
Will the frequencies work?
So can I put a Rogers sim card into an unlocked AT&T or T mobile phone and have it fully functioning?
Before posting this thread, my assumption was that AT&T is fully compatible with Rogers (voice, 3G) , but on the other hand Rogers 3G doesn't work on T mobile phones?
Your answer is very appreciated!
Hey guys, I have a question and hopefully you can answer and point me into the right direction.
I recently moved from England where i purchased my HTC sensation, and i moved too Canada, British Columbia. My phone is S-off and everything, so i was just wondering if i can get it to work in Canada, and what i would need to download and change or w.e else for it to be able to work on canadian simcards?
any information is greatly appreciated
Thankyou

have you tried a canadian sim? your phone may already be unlocked...did you 'buy' it or did it come with a plan?

what bands do they use in canada? in the uk?
the sensation comes with
3G 900/2100
OR
3G 850/1900/2100
you need to find out which one you have, and then go with the telephone company that supports it
sorry, i don't know how to find out what you have, i'm sure other people do though
Hey man, thanks for the reply, i found out the in Canada, it is 3G 850/1900 MHz them two bands for 3G which i am not too bothered about, i would just rather keep my phone instead of having to buy a new one altogether. I got my unlock code from the guide posted above which is awesome, but when ever i put in my friends Canadian simcard it just comes up with no service.. it allows me to look at his messages etc however. I will try some other carriers today and see if anything else works
I was/still am on a Vodafone Contract, which is what the phone got shipped with.
This may sound like a really nooby question, but does flashing a different radio help at all? The main carrier where i am is TELUS, so i dont know if any of these; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867 would help at all?
Thanks for your help!
Your UK Vodafone 3G frequencies are 900/2100. You would therefore not get 3G there. You need to check whether Telus operate 2G at all. Bear in mind that some operators, like "3"in the UK use only 3G .
For your UK Sensation to work there, you need to find a GSM operator that uses 2G. This is you only option.
or you could purchase mobile wifi 3G (if they do that in canada) and use that to access the internet from your phone
...it's a shame, but your best bet would be to sell the sensation...you simply won't be able to access anything other than GSM in Canada

International z710e works in Canada with Wind and Mobilicity. The 3G frequency of z710e is 900/AWS/2100. Wind and mobilicity operates on AWS.
For 2G connectivity, it's either Fido, Chatr, or Rogers.
You can confirm phone (850 or 900) country/carrier compatibility from:

I did try to post this info yesterday but seem to have completely failed to get it from the laptop to XDA.
For the Z710e it shows the following for Canada:

NP, hope it helps.
to find out if you have the Z710e or Z710a
goto settings>>About phone>>Phone identity. Look at the model number at the top
I believe European models are the same as Asian models which is Z710e. You can get 3G with Wind or Mobilicity networks only. I recommend Wind, they have $29 no contract with unlimited data, unlimited texts including international and unlimited calls Canada wide within wind home zone. Your phone will still work with rogers, bell, fido, kodoo etc. but only 2G
I bought a US Cellular Note 2 (SCH-R950) from ebay. I live in florida and didn't know I wasn't going to have service. I have looked up and down to unlock the phone and so far nothing. I downloaded the Galaxy Note 2 toolkit and I'm not quite to sure on how to use it. Is their a way to use the toolkit so I can use either Sprint or Verizon with my phone? U.S. Cellular uses sprint towers here in florida. Anyhelp would be useful!

That is a CDMA phone. This is GSM forum. You need to have your phone "FLASHED" look on craigslist or call Boostmobile
Hi there! I'm moving back to India tomorrow after a few years in the US and I'm interested in getting my off-contract Verizon Galaxy Nexus and Sprint Galaxy S3 working in Delhi/NCR. I realize neither will work on a GSM network as the VZW is the I515.9 baseband and the Sprint one lacks a SIM slot, but can I get them running on a local CDMA carrier like MTS or *shudder* Reliance?
I've done some digging online and in here, but I can't seem to find anything about getting either device working on a CDMA network in India other than warnings that some carriers may not activate them if they aren't on their own "approved devices list".
Thanks so much for your help and happy new year!
Hey guys,
I just got my LG G Flex 2 from the US. It is such a nice phone. I got the Sprint Version of the phone (LS996) I already rooted it and installed the unlock. It keeps me asking for activation (of the phone itself I guess). Even the included SPRINT SIM card does not help. In Germany we dont have any CDMA networks, just GSM/LTE networks. Is the a way to bypass this terrible activation? I just need to get it working with my t-mobile Germany GSM SIM. Tanks for your help.
Best regards from Germany

This may help you, the guy, which already unlocked gsm, is outside the US, too.
