Hi,
I am planning to use a Galaxy S 4G in India. Can anyone tell me whether or not it will work here?
I know it for a fact that it has quad band support for 2G, so that definitely works, but for 3G it only supports 1700/2100.
I am not sure whether this is the same band which is required for phones to work in India under a 3G network.
Please help.
Thanks,
Rakshith

Hello,
I have a T-Mobile G1 and I am using AT&T. I know that it cant use at&t's 3g because of the different brands but I was wondering. Would it be possible to use T-mobiles 3G but still be on AT&T network? That way you have 3G and you dont have to do any hardware modding or nothing.
Thanks guys
Bump please
I've got the Touch Pro (T7272-unlocked not t-Mobile branded) and am a T-Mobile customer.
Does anyone know if this device works on the T-Mobile 4G network?
If so, what setting, if any, need to be changed?
The package says the phone supports HSPA network, but T-Mobile's is HSPA+.
The phone will work, but I believe only on EDGE. The radio bands are wrong to get 3G or I guess 4G. There's nothing you can do about it.
Thanks for your reply.
I've used it for years with EDGE, which is brutally sloooooow.
I was wondering what spec determines if a phone will work on T-Mobile 4G network?
that is correct. att's 3/4g opperates arround 1800hmz while tmobiles 3/4g opperates around 1700mhz to no matter what you do (outside of switching carriers) there is no way you can opperate outside of edge

Rastin,
Thanks for your reply.
Is there any possibility that a software solution could change the Band Frequency?
Unfortunately it`s imposible.
I am finding so much conflicting info about LTE phones... I know in the US, they support LTE 700. In Germany, Telekom uses LTE 800. What I can't find are good technical specs on any phones. Obviously a US manual is going to state LTE 700. But I can't find techniucal details on the actual chip. Maybe the freq coverage is such that the phone will support both LTE 700 and LTE 800?
Can an expert please advise me if the Skyrocket (or any other really good LTE phone) will work in Germany?
I know there is now a Europe version of this phone (GT-I9210) but I want to save $ and buy in US if possible, if the US version will work.
thanks,
Brian
No, the Skyrocket doesn't support the LTE bands used in the EU.
LTE frequencies used in Germany are 800Mhz and1800Mhz LTE bands and 2600Mhz TDD LTE band.
Thanks. Do you know of any phones that are LTE capable in both the US and Germany?
regards,
Brian
As far as I know, there is no smartphone working in the US and in Germany atm
Hi Guys,
So I got a new Razr HD from Verizon, and took it to Canada where I live. I travel a lot from the USA to Canada. The phone specs seem to indicate that it has all the bands necessary to support all the GSM and LTE bands as well as CDMA when in the states. I was able to easily get 3G/H+ service from Rogers in Canada by simply changing the Network Mode to GSM/UMTS instead of Global and then adding an APN for Rogers. However, I cannot get LTE service. The LTE choice seems to be bundled with CDMA LTE/CDMA but I don't think that matters, I think its just a radio choice. However, when selecting this, I get an error from the phone saying "No LTE networks could be found" and Do I want to switch to GSM?
This is sad because the phone would be excellent on LTE. Does anyone know how to get a Verizon branded phone to run on Rogers LTE?
If you have any ideas let me know, I will test them.
Thanks,
Blue

Short answer, you can't. Different LTE bands. Rogers is 4 and 17, Verizon is 1, 3, 5, 13, 25. No overlap, and no-one currently makes LTE hardware that supports ALL LTE bands.

Just wanted to add to this... I tested my Samsung Galaxy S3, a generic version that I got from Amazon, works on AT&T in the USA on LTE and in ROGERS in Canada. Too bad the Verizon Droid does not support a similar global LTE band. Or does AT&T and Rogers simply have the same LTE bands???

Yes, AT&T and Rogers have maintained the same bands since they were partnered maybe 10 years ago. Fido is owned by Rogers, so it also uses the same, from GSM up to LTE.
Neither AT&T or Verizon use "global" LTE bands, because there aren't any. Almost every country/provider uses different bands. There's some crossover, but with LTE, buy a phone for the market you are in, because you probably couldn't afford the roaming rates abroad anyway.
Hey guys, I think I have a related question.. maybe you guys can help
I live in Toronto and Rogers is my wireless carrier. From my understanding, Rogers operates on band 4 (1700 / 2100 mhz) as well as 2600 Mhz.
I am thinking of gettnig the new DROID MAXX from Verizon. I have tried asking the Verizon / Motorola reps about whether the LTE would work in Canada but wasn't able to get a firm answer.
From the Motorola website, however, as well as from gsmarena.com, it looks like the DROID MAXX will have access to not only LTE 700mhz, but also at 1700 and 2100 mhz.
What are the chances that this phone will work on Rogers LTE?
Really hoping it could work out... let me know if you guys have any ideas..
Hi, just got a device in Europe and found out it is 4G.
Read something about not being able to use it in the US.
What does that mean, that the phone won't work at all, or that it has to do with mobile internet connection or a wifi connection?
If this is a problem, is it possible to fix this with a new rom?

The phone should work in the US but not on 4G LTE due to the different operator frequencies.
In the UK we use 800, 1800, 2600, 3500 and 3700MHz where as in the US they use 700, 850, 1700, 1900 & 2500MHz.
So it should work on the 3G/HSPDA bands but not LTE unless it uses some kind of global LTE chip.
