hey,
i am from India. My friend is going to gift me samsung galaxy s3 (unfortuantely and probably its t-mobile) from United States. i've no idea whether they are CDMA or GSM carrier. if its CDMA so my questions are :
can i get an unlock code which allows me access any gsm networks in India.?
And if it is GSM one, can i access 3g networks in India.?
i have read in a random forum that if its gsm carrier i can only use EDGE service in India.
AND the last one-
should i update official ics stock rom firmware for INDIA OR for The USA?

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.
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if the Nexus S that will be released in South Korea this March, is a CDMA phone or is it a GSM phone.
I guess it will be CDMA since most of the Korean service providers use the CDMA network.
Secondly, I am thinking of getting the Nexus S, but I would like to take it back to South Africa with me when I finally leave Korea.
South Africa mostly uses GSM and 3G networks. Would I be able to use this phone there if I get it unlocked and get a new SIM card?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You'd have to find out whether the nexus s released in your country has a GSM or CDMA radio. If it doesn't that respective radio, it won't work even if it's unlocked.
You can probably find this info when it's actually released in your country.
I could not find a definitive answer to this anywhere. I would like to purchase a NON-US variant of the Samsung galaxy tab with phone feature enabled, for use with VZW US.
I am currently in Taiwan and they have the phone enabled devices here but I am unsure if there is a model which will have CDMA+GSM OR IF IT IS EVEN COMPATIBLE ON VERIZONS NETWORK.
Taiwan does have CDMA. I believe it is 800 and VZW in the US is 800/1900.
I will also be visiting japan as well, so if there is a galaxy tab phone there that will work on the us verizon network I'd pick that up.
This should really be as simple as finding a model that supports both GSM and CDMA and just inserting the 4G LTE SIM card into it when I am back in the states.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I want to buy a verizon or sprint CDMA android smart phone that can work in India. Do they work at all? If so do I need a SIM unlock. I know gsm phones in USA require SIM unlock this is the first time I am dealing with CDMA.
I want to buy a samsung or LG CDMA(Verizon or Sprint) phone in USA and want to use it with TATA Indicom in India. Thanks in advance for the help.
Hi there! I'm moving back to India tomorrow after a few years in the US and I'm interested in getting my off-contract Verizon Galaxy Nexus and Sprint Galaxy S3 working in Delhi/NCR. I realize neither will work on a GSM network as the VZW is the I515.9 baseband and the Sprint one lacks a SIM slot, but can I get them running on a local CDMA carrier like MTS or *shudder* Reliance?
I've done some digging online and in here, but I can't seem to find anything about getting either device working on a CDMA network in India other than warnings that some carriers may not activate them if they aren't on their own "approved devices list".
Thanks so much for your help and happy new year!
