Phones are crazy expensive in Germany so i'm planing on buying the at&t version but would 3g work on Vodafone Germany? what about LTE? I read vodafone works in 2100 for 3g is it true? i have no info about the LTE frequencies
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100
What about the simlock? is this phone unlockable just by software ala Desire HD?
Anyone?

I would guess yes solely because AT&T has the best worldwide coverage of any US carrier and almost all their phones are world phones

3g will work but lte won't.
You also need to purchase a sim unlock from a vendor since it will be locked to att.

Where can we purchase "unlock code" for this phone?

Just google it.
There's quite a few places that advertise being able to do it. I have no idea if they are legit.

I want to buy this device but it is overpriced here in the uk and t mobile in the usa have it a affordable price. I checked the bands and most uk phones have: 900, 1900 and 2100 for 3g
This one has : 1700 and 2100 for 3g
This concerns me a lot. Can I flash a radio from the original optimistic 2x or something to make it work in the uk? Do you think it will work on 3g out of the box? Some help please.
As you've noted T-Mobile uses non standard frequencies in the states. So, out of the box it's incompatible. As far as flashing an Optimus 2x radio, that appears to be a very bad idea due to file system differences.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've read the answer is no.
According to this:
http://www.wireless.att.com/travelguide/coverage/coverage_details.jsp?CIDL=1305&MNC=CING
uk carriers use 2100 primarily and according to gsmarena the bands this phone supports are:
1700 and 2100 for 3g
Wouldn't it still work out of the box even if it supports 2100 band?

Also according to this:

Most uk networks use 2100 band as suggested by at&t . The 1700 band is used by t mo for 4g network according to engadget. Any change of opinion now?

"Band I" is 2100 MHz, which is supported by the G2x and is used all over Europe and Asia.
and according to this http://www.phonearena.com/phones/T-Mobile-G2x_id5272
the G2X supports 2100 UMTS (3G) or am I missing something?
The G2x supports 850/900/1800/1900 MHz for 2G/GPRS only, and supports 3G/4G UMTS/HSPA+ bands I (2100) and IV (1700). The G2x does not support AT&T’s 3G bands.

Yes it should work, I'm currently in Europe and my g2x connects to 3G, but of course there is no 4G...I'll be in the UK in a few days in fact

Thanks to all who corrected me...I was under the impression most of Europe used the same 3G bands as AT&T do here. Stupid US centric assumption...I need to get out more....and keep my mouth shut when I'm not absolutely sure!
Anyway, sorry for my small contribution to internet misinformation...

Both at&t and tmobile phones would be able to get 3g signals outside of the states. I had no problem using my old iphone 3g in Hong Kong,Beijing nor my tmobile blackberry 9700 in Italy.

Yeah...now that's not quite right. Here's the deal:
Most of the world uses 2100 MHz 3G bidirectionally (for both sending and receiving data). This includes England, China, and Hong Kong.
In the U.S. AT&T uses Both 850 & 1900 MHz (depending on the coverage area) bidirectionally. Not compatible with "world standards". The reason you could use you iphone in China is because it has tri-band 3G. Not all AT&T phones support the 2100 MHz band.
T-Mobile uses 1700 MHz for uploads and 2100 MHz for downloading. However, all their current phones have the ability to use the 2100 MHz band bidirectionally when operating overseas.
So to sum it up T-Mobile phones will do 3G overseas, some AT&T Phones will work overseas, but most phones from overseas won't do 3G here.
I hope that makes things a bit more clear; and I apologize again for confusing T-mobile with AT&T in my earlier post.
Hi all
I just bought new unlocked Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V) on the internet and before to talking to possible providers I got confused about its 3G bands. I've got two specs with different bands:
one says it has 1700/1900/2100 (e.g. see pdadb.net)
another says it has only 1700/2100.
How do I check which 3G bands my phone really has? Is there any way to check it using the phone itself? Like test software or something?
Thank you
From http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_4g-3719.php
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 1700 / 2100
Perhaps that is some of the confusion about bands; 1900 is also a GSM band.
T-Mobile, for better or worse, uses the AWS bands, which results in its handsets having a different set of requirements than other carriers.
I've used an AT&T SIM in my SGS4g and was able to get 3G, so I'm fairly positive the phone also has the 1900 HSPA band.
Wikipedia says T-Mobile has 1900 in both GSM and 3G
I dont know what bands they use but I use simple mobile unlimited 3g for $40 or unlimited 4g for $60....$20 sim with free activation. SimpleMobile uses tmobile network

After looking many phones, I like One S. but seems it's exclusive for T-mobile?
because the 3g band of T-mobile is differente of my country I would like to know if there is a One S which is not for T-mobile. I need 1900mhz support
thanks

Where do you live?
The One S is exclusive to T-Mobile only in the USA afaik. The international variant (PJ40100) supports WCDMA at 850, 900 and 2100 MHz. T-Mobile USA variant (PJ40110) supports WCDMA at 850, 1700, 1900 and 2100 MHz but (My speculation here!) I guess if your carrier has a 1900 network they might sell the PJ40110 variant without the branding, isnt this what some canadian carriers do btw?
Some details here

I live in Mexico, as far as I know 3G band here is 850mhz/1900mhz. I think it's the same with AT&T (because most at&t phones works here). I'm sure 1700/2100 won't work (because once I have droid Incredible 2, never got 3g works)
I don't like One X because it's too big. so any chance HTC One S will work here? (either T-mobile or international)

I have T-Mobile USA HTC One S with me and on the box it says that it supports 3g of 850, 2100, 1700/2100 and 1900Mhz. I just don't have AT&T sim card to test, but looking at the specs on the box it has to work at 1900Mhz.
I've read that it picks up 4G on at&t just not LTE.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the 601e and 601s? The web is full of conflicting info on this and I can't find an official white paper from HTC. I need to pick up the model that supports HSPA for ATT so I need both 850 and 1900mhz for 3g. Some sites say both models have this, some say only the 601S, some say neither has it.

HTC 601s has LTE bands 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600
HTC 601e has LTE bands 800 / 1800 / 2600
Neither will work on ATT as ATT operates on 700 and 1700 bands ... the ATT version of the phone has LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
I know I'm sh** outta luck when it comes to LTE, that's why I was asking about 3g/HSPA.
HTC did email me an answer though. It appears both devices give me the 3g frequencies i need. HTC's email below:
I understand this can be changing your experience with the device and I will be more than happy to help you with this matter.

Guess I missed that you were looking for 3G ... in that case, I have the 601S, 3G works fine
I own 601n LTE model which also has slightly better cpu cores - Krait 300 instead of Krait 200 in 601e.
How do i recognize my model?

One way is to check the box your phone came in, if you haven't binned it.

The bottom line of text below the FCC logo on the back (below the grey beatsaudio logo) on mine says "601n".

Hello XDA members,
Has anyone unlocked (via commercial $ payment services) their LG G4 from AT&T? I want to make sure it can be unlocked prior to purchasing so I can use it overseas while on vacation.
Thanks.
I did. Bought the code from a guy on eBay for $4.25. In under an hour I was entering the code and using a T-Mobile SIM.
Looks like he's out of stock now, but he relists every few days.

For that matter - does anyone know if the t-mo version will work on the att LTE bands? Wasn't sure if it was like the iphone where the tmobile version of the iphone 6 was already unlocked so we could use it on att.

There's a thread on here somewhere that lists the bands, but I couldn't find it right away. Here's one from Android Central.
Here are the AT&T frequencies. If your T-mobile has these it should work:
GSM 850 MHz and 1900 MHz.
HSPA+ 850 MHz (Band V) and 1900 MHz (Band II)
LTE 700 MHz (Band XVII) and some 1700 MHz (Band IV)
The ones below are the 815 Model that is generally available on the web for about $515 unlocked.
It has been shown to work with AT&T in LTE mode.
2G: 850/1900MHz
3G: 850/1900MHz
4G: Bands 2,4,5,17 (1900,1700,850,700MHZ)
also i f you purchase the device in full no contract you can request the sim unlock code from att for free here https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/?#/ i did with mine received my unlock sim code the next day
