Just did some study about 4G LTE, it turns out it is a "natural evolution" for GSM carriers. One important feature of 4G LTE is its inter-operability, ie, global roaming.
I wonder if a special SIM card is needed in order to be able to take advantage of this feature. Can someone step in to share what you know about global roaming in 4G LTE device?
Thanks.

Hi
I have an unlocked samsung galaxy s (i9000) and I was wondering if I can take my phone to south korea, buy the sim card and use the phone there?
The help would be really appreciated.
Thank you!

I think it should. KoreanTelecom uses the 2100MHz spectrum for its HSDPA (3G), but I can't find the bands for regular 2G and 1G. But probably it's 800, 850, 900, or 1900 MHz, which your phone supports.
maybe it is difficult to use in korea
Yes,you can.
Yes
Of course if its unlocked!!!

wow sorry about that... and believe it or not I'm not a noob!
Bump!
Well I had a UK T-Mobile phone that I used to take with me to the US and it automatticly worked on US T-Mobile...so I guess it would?
Decided to go with an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Of course this is Pentaband so I figured it was the safest bet. Works like a dream. For those in Canada, I bought this from Telus and used it on Wind. I'm now in the UK using it at 3G+ speeds on O2. Also just happens to be the best phone that I've ever used!
Dear All,
I have purchased Galaxy Nexus from someone in US (From Amazon) as GSM phone but when I received the phone here in Egypt I founded it Verizon 4G LTE/CDMA
Now What shall I do Is it possible to work here in 3G Network???? this guy cheated me.
Please I need your help.

You guys split SGS3 forums into AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, but leave out all other carriers. So where exactly does MetroPCS belong??
T-Mobile bought and owns MetroPCS. However, T-Mobile uses GSM while MetroPCS uses CDMA. Their SGS3 variants are not compatible.
When MetroPCS users root or flash their SGS3 phones, they usually use the files/packages for Verizon.
Specs-wise, Sprint's SGS3 variant and CDMA are closest to MetroPCS. But for some reason I've never seen anyone uses a package for Sprint on MetroPCS phones.
So should I post in the T-Mobile, Verizon or Sprint forums if I have a question about rooting??

As per topic.
Any dual sim phone on the market, which allows 3g voice calls on 2nd Sim, if Primary Sim is used for Data (4g/3g).
2g service is being stopped, so voice needs to go out on 3g as well.
There's a dedicated thread for such questions here,

I'll close this thread.
Thanks,
