[Q] infuse running off of both att and verizon networks?? - Samsung Infuse 4G

i have a simple question, is it possible for a infuse to run on both networks (att & verizon) or if you wanna get more techy about it is the infuse campatible through some sort of unlocking to acces gsm and cdma networks?, i know the answer is most likely no but i just wanted to see if anyone on this amazing forum would say otherwise

Not possible....Verizon is a cdma(evdo)network and att is hspa ...you can run att on T-Mobile and reverse...but not verizon

[Q] USA vs. UK

I am moving to the UK in a few weeks. I am currently with T Mobile USA and was wondering if anyone knew how will my devices work over there. I know i will need to get them unlocked but i have a few 4g phones and dont know if they use the same service there. I have the following devices, MyTouch 4g, Samsung Vibrant and Samsung Vibrant 4g, galaxt tablet.
Thanks in advance.
I believe you can call t mobile and let them know youre moving and they will let you know what to do.. If I'm not mistaken the gsm band is different in uk so they csm tell you if your phone if compatible..

[Q] Can GS 4G do TMo & ATT 3G?

Hi, am leaving Sprint. Looking to get a used phone (no contract), that will work on monthly plans like TMo prepaid, Straight Talk (ATT)) w/out a contract. I'm reading good things about both the older Vibrant (SGH-T959), and the newer 4g (SGH-T959V). It's clear from my research that people are successuflly unlocking and able to go back and forth between TMo and ATT SIMs on the older Vibrant. What isn't clear to me is can this be done on the newer SGH-T959V?
Again, I don't care much about 4g. 3g on AT&T is fine. But while on TMo, the 4G would be nice.
Thanks!

U can use 4g on tmobile but on AT&T you can only use 2g/edge no 3g

Thanks Brandon. I will then pick up a used, older SGH-T959 (Vibrant), unlock it, and then enjoy the 3g flexibility of both ATT & TMo. It's strange, the T959V is supposed to support the same ATT 3g band as the regular T959, but I can't find proof of this anywhere.

that's affirmative, i'm using it right now with 3G and is very fast
Yes, I also can confirm the 959V (T-Mobile 4g) is 3g on ATT and is very fast.
Not true...

I have SGS4G and am using ATT. I have 3G with no issues...
posted original question here by accident
I am using unlocked 4g on Cincinnati Bell wireless and the 3g works fine.
However I have not been able to get 4g at all on my phone. When I put a Tmobile sim in it works fine one 4g.
I get a little over 2 mbps download on Cincinnati Bell 3g.
You can just unlock it, I'm using mine on att right now. Only thing is you have a backup sync for T-Mobile instead of att.

Yes it can.
I tried my friend's AT&T sim card and it worked with 3G.
Hmm, has anybody gotten 4G on this phone with AT&T?
Does 4G work with an unlocked SGS 4G on AT&Ts network?
no.

3G on AT&T will only work one one of the two UMTS bands: 1900 MHz.
Note that the Vibrant 4G doesn't have the 850MHz band (the other band that AT&T uses for 3G data.)
I've seen a posting that there's a way to activate the 850MHz band, but I have not verified that this works. If anyone has got this working so you're working on both bands on AT&T with your Vibrant 4G, let me know.
As an addendum to my own post, looks like the consensus is that while the Vibrant has an option of selecting the 850MHz UMTS band, it actually doesn't enable anything:

Has anyone speed tested (w/ dual core tele) ST tmo?? Please share speed test results?? ..speed test (dual core) on Simple Mobile 4g plan appreciated too. I'm looking for these comparisons...Help please?
TIA!

[Q] Is GSM beating CDMA?

So I am currently with verizon (CDMA) and I was interested in checking out what the GSM Galaxy Nexus offered vs the CDMA version and to see if it had fewer problems.
That got me to thinking. Are phone makers and rom devs leaning toward GSM network phones? I know they can be used on att, tmobile and sprint but I don't really know if it is any better or worse.
I also figured out that the way cdma phones treat their software is a little different from gsm.
I know GSM iPhone is faster than CDMA iPhone

The thing that got me thinking about it all was like I said, google released an unlocked gsm version. I know it doesn't quite work the same with cdma networks but if google is willing to throw one out there, maybe they want to start something with all this.
Everything seems to be gsm, idk what's happening to cdma

[Q] Carrier Trade

I was wondering if you guys could help me understand something as I don't know much about cellular carriers. I currently own a Lumia 920 on att and was looking to trade it for a galaxy s3. I found someone who will trade with me, but he is on Verizon and the phone is with Verizon. I applied on att for an unlock code so that he would be able to use it, but I'm not sure how the whole GSM vs cdma works. What would I have to do to make this swap work if that's even possible?
thanks in advance.
It is cdma vs gsm networks. The gs3 on Verizon can work on gsm networks but was not designed to be utilized solely on a gsm network. I would stick with s phone from your current provider
