I've read many post and can't get an exact answer. I would like to buy a Verizon Touch Pro 2 Phone and get it Unlocked and then use it on my Bell Mobility network. If I use My Bell SIM card will I get full 3G connection or Will I get block by any incompatible BAND due Bell Settings?
Thank You to help me with my question.
No. The only US carrier to share the same 3G WCDMA bands as Canada is ATT.
An unlocked VZW TP2 will only work in 2G/EDGE mode on Canada's GSM carriers.
Thank You.
Yes I finaly find the Information (more technical)
Bell use 3G HSPA 850/1900MHz so any other phone that not have these frequency in HSPA doesn't work.
Hi everyone,
I'm currently in the USA for an internship and I'm tempted to buy an Inspire since it's so much cheaper than what it would cost back in the Netherlands. However I've searched a lot now and I can't figure this out.
Will the Inspire work on my network back in the Netherlands? I'm on T-mobile. I'm sure GSM will work and so on, but I would really like to know if 3G and even 4G will work back at home?
So, bottomline, buy or don't buy ?

Yes it will work but, if you want to use it on another gsm network in the Netherlands you will need to unlock it. I suggest you root it using the ace hack kit. I tested this method and I can say my phone is unlocked.
4G on the Inspire is HSDPA+ its just a upgraded 3g network. If your network in the Netherlands supports this you will have the same speeds or faster. Just check the freq for you home network with the inspire tech spec. I suspect it will work since its the same phone as the Desire HD sold in Europe.

Not if T-Mobile is your provider, T-Mobiles 3G/HSPA+ network uses different frequencies than the Inspire operates on. T-Mobile uses 1700/2100 for their 3G/HSPA+. ATT and the Inspire use 850/1900 (which T-Mobile uses for Edge). So with T-Mobile you'll get voice and Edge data, but no 3G/4G

T-Mobile in Europe uses different frequencies than T-Mobile in the US (probably 900MHz or 2100MHz), but regardless, the Inspire won't support them.

Good point. Looks like T-Mobile in the netherlands uses GSM1800 and WCDMA2100 - which won't give you high speed data on the Inspire
The Inspire does not suppprt 3g bands that are commonly used outside of north america, so while the phone will generally work, you can only get 2g (edge) data in Europe/Asia/etc..

Hello, I recently bought the HTC sensation in asia but now that Im back in Canada, I put in my telus Sim card and I get no signal from anywhere. I tried putting in a rogers sim card in and it works fine. So does Telus not support the sensation?
Your 3g band might not match telus. Reason why you are getting a signal in Rogers is because rogers has the old GSM system..so you are stuck with a Gsm signal only. 3g bands are different than the tmobile and Bell sensation. Sorry dude.
does that mean I cant use 3g in canada no matter what? ;(

You can use asian sensation with wind mobile and mobilicity too, I think. I have the asian sensation with 3G and HSPA working with wind mobile.
Thanks, I guess Ill be heading down wind today.
I bought a Bell Sensation 4G and Unlocked it to work on the telus netowrk everythig is great except the phone doesnt connect to telus HSPA+ netowrk why?
The only icons I get for data is 3G and H no H+??????
My friend has the same phone with bell and his gets the H+ netowrk
I have my phone rooted and s-off and ARHD Rom installed on it.
I've tried to phone Telus about it but they wont give me any help because its not there phone. They just tell me that I'm in the coverage area for H+ and should be getting it but I'm not.
I think H is used for both hsdpa and hspa+. Compare speeds to make sure.
I have an HTC Panache from Mobilicity currently using Mobi's AWS network. However, on HTC's website it says the phone can also be used on a GSM network.
Since Rogers uses a combination of GSM and HSDPA, would I not be able to get internet on my Panache through Rogers, or would it just be slower, or...
