I actually have a 2 part question. I'm traveling to hong kong in a couple weeks and was wondering if my unlocked vibrant would work there (3g if possible)
Secondly, does anyone know of any prepaid cards that also have a data plan attached to it? I hope I was going to be able to use gmaps there to find my way around. Thanks!

Anybody have any luck porting a Infuse over to Cincinnati Bell?
I seem to only get the Edge network and can't receive MMS (even after trying 247,987 different settings....)
What a fantastic device and I sure would hate to lose it.....

What bands does Cincinatti Bell use for 3G? If they use the same bands as T-Mobile, this would explain the Infuse being stuck at EDGE. There is no way around this.
They use the same as T-Mobile so it will be edge only.
Yeah it is the same as tmobile. 1700/aws is the typical band for their 3g I'm pretty sure.

Gentlemen, thanks for the info.
I was fairly certain that was going to be a hard limitation. I just wanted to run it by my XDA friends before I had a visit to eBay.
I was given this by AT&T as a “gift” if I would stay with them and admittedly it was enticing since I actually found the Infuse as close to perfect for my needs.
Oh well “eBay meet my Infuse…..”
Ps – anyone want to make a recommendation on a close replacement out of these choices (or what to avoid);
HTC Panache
Huawei Ascend
Samsung Vibrant
Samsung Nexus s 3g
Dell Streak 5
Motorola Milestone XT720
Tmobile actually has a goods selection of nice android phones like the gtx2 galaxy s 4 and some others which should work nicley on cincy bell. But if tmobile merges with att idk if they will tell bell to find a new frequency or if since they are local att won't care thinking it won't clog up the data bandwidth too much. Then you'd do all this for nothing you know what I mean lol

If you liked the infuse, the vibrant is going to be very similar, possibly the nexus s as well. Personally, I would grab a tmobile HTC sensation from the marketplace on here or eBay for 350-400 or so and use that.

I would avoid Huawei at all costs. Their policy on updates is, "Want an update? Buy this slightly modified variant of the same device you already own." and "Accessories? What accessories? That dock connector is just there to look pretty and sell tablets to idiots like you that don't know us yet."
Yes, I'm a VERY bitter S7 owner.
Thinking of buying a new/2nd hand phone and was lookin at the evo 4g, it sez its locked to sprint network-I assume this is a u.s.a network as iv not heard of it in the UK? If it is,is it possible to unlock it to use in the UK on T-mobile...if not,is that the case with all evo 4g mobiles?.....If anyone has any better ideas for me I.e different phone or you have one of similar spec for sale please let me know, is the evo a lot better than the galaxy s i9000 not the s2. And if you've used 4g,isit really 10 times faster than average 3g..thnx in advance.

The evo 4g cannot, it does not use a sim card. If you want to import a phone I'd first suggest looking through t-mo US phones then last resort would be ATT but you wouldn't get 4g with an art phone or even 3g, just edge.
Hi Im looking to get a phone from China but dont know where to start since this would be my first phone from there..
my question is simple, just wondering if there is, and if someone has recommendations, a phone that can work on sprint?
the bigger the screen the better
China phones typically are GSM phones, since only the United States uses CDMA. The only place you can get Sprint phones are from Sprint and are branded Sprint.
Now if you were on AT&T or T-Mobile, then China phones would work

So I'm finally moving out of my hometown in India and am off to Toronto. It will be a fond goodbye to my 2 year old DHD..
Though I am really confused about what service provider to switch to and what plans they might have. I'm also thinking nexus 4 but rumors of HTC M7 are making me mad.
Any advice would be appreciated. :laugh:
Though i am from india, my friends and relatives from canada use rogers network mostly!
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
yeah i've been looking and rogers seems to have the best plans. others have left me feeling rather confused. Just need to know how their services are.
Any ideas on phones? the 3 year contract terms have left me confused as well
just checked rogers website, apparently you can't get a connection without purchasing a phone from them

Assuming your DHD is rooted / SOFF / unlocked and the radio is 850/1900 you can use it on Telus, Rogers, Bell, or Fido.

I live in UK, few months ago I bought GEAR S2 Classic 3g version from south korea and i absolutely love it Sadly i realize that none of current UK providers wont be able to activate electronic sim card, i dont know why I was sure that UK wont be so far behind Korea, but it is like it is...
Today I found that o2 finally sells s2 3g watches on contract, but maybe anybody knows is it possible to activate PAYG ones? I admit I dont know how its going to actualy works. I didnt found any option to setup those cards, is it accesible at all?
ID BE APPRECIATED IF anyone whos done it could explain me if its possible at all...
Thanks..
To my knowledge the esims are locked to their individual carrier unfortunately.
