Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if the Nexus S that will be released in South Korea this March, is a CDMA phone or is it a GSM phone.
I guess it will be CDMA since most of the Korean service providers use the CDMA network.
Secondly, I am thinking of getting the Nexus S, but I would like to take it back to South Africa with me when I finally leave Korea.
South Africa mostly uses GSM and 3G networks. Would I be able to use this phone there if I get it unlocked and get a new SIM card?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You'd have to find out whether the nexus s released in your country has a GSM or CDMA radio. If it doesn't that respective radio, it won't work even if it's unlocked.
You can probably find this info when it's actually released in your country.

Hi guys and girls, I've got a bit of an issue.
My Niki100 (HTC Touch Dual) won't seem to read my shiny new South Korean USIM.
The phone is originally from Australia, and has been quite happy roaming around on the 2100mhz 3G network here in South Korea using my Australian (3G) USIM, but it won't read the South Korean USIM.
It reads enough to pull up the number from the USIM, which shows in phone services, but it won't register on the network at all.
I was expecting it to play nicely and just forget about the GSM part of the phone and continue connecting on the UMTS (WCDMA) band, but apparently not.
I've tried a variety of ROM's and Radios without results.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Solved: It was a combination of needing a new Sim Manager version, and the retarded IMIE lock South Korea puts on all foreign phones.
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.
hey,
i am from India. My friend is going to gift me samsung galaxy s3 (unfortuantely and probably its t-mobile) from United States. i've no idea whether they are CDMA or GSM carrier. if its CDMA so my questions are :
can i get an unlock code which allows me access any gsm networks in India.?
And if it is GSM one, can i access 3g networks in India.?
i have read in a random forum that if its gsm carrier i can only use EDGE service in India.
AND the last one-
should i update official ics stock rom firmware for INDIA OR for The USA?
Hello,
My sister lives in Canada and is on the wind network, which uses the AWS frequency. I found out that the Moto G US GSm version will be compatible with Wind Canada (since it supports AWS).
I wanted to buy this as a gift for her birthday so I ordered the 16GB US GSM Moto G from amazon usa and posted it to her via UPS. She got it today but is having difficulty setting up internet, I mean it is supposed to "just work" right?
So I fear that maybe amazon has sent me the Global GSM by mistake.
is there anyway I can identify the phone? I mean will the about section in settings be able to tell me if its US GSM or global GSM?
Thank you
You can tell by the model number:
XT1032 Global GSM
XT1034 US GSM (T-Mobile)
If she gets Wind Home coverage, calls and texts, she's got AWS HSPA signal and the right model. Getting the internet to work from there is probably just a matter of checking APN settings.
I am traving to Cancun Mexico on the 23 of june. I currently have an AT&T SIM inserted into my SIM Unlocked S8+. I know AT&T has service in Mexico, but as far as I know the best they got is 3G. I was wondering if I was to go outside out of their AT&T coverage and into another companies coverage while in Mexico Whether it be CDMA or GSM. Would the phone work on all their network bands, or would it be only GSM bands because of the AT&T SIM inserted? Another option I thought about was getting a different SIM in mexico. That might be a better option just in case roaming on my phone is not possible with other carriers out there that aren't GSM supported.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Really hope someone has the answer to my question, because google sure didn't lol.

Yes. It works fine. I live in Southern California and when you get close enough to the Tijuana border in San Diego you may start to roam on a Mexican network. (Unlocked S8+ here)
