hi i'm uk based and on o2 network.
i read o2 uses bandwith
900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE
1,800 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE
900 MHz UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+
2,100 MHz UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+
phone i have just now most of time i see "H" sign and internet speed is fine.
new phone i look to buy is from china (jiayu g3 or g4) and works on
g3:
Network Band: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz & WCDMA 850/2100MHz
Data Technology: GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, HSPA+, 3G
g4:
Band 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 2100MHz
will it be on "H" here in the uk if i use o2 network?
i dont want to buy this phone and then is slow speeds 2g and 3g

Below spec cut and paste from HTC website. Is that consider a CDMA model?
Network HSPA/WCDMA:
*
Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz
*
Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
*
Europe/Asia: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
(Band frequency, HSPA availability, and data speed are operator dependent.)
No, that's the GSM-only version.
depends on your carrier... if you are Sprint, Telus, or Verizon its CDMA. Otherwise its GSM
Thanks for the reply. I am from Singapore BTW.
Subabia,
You definately have a GSM not CDMA.
WCDMA is not the same thing as CDMA. WCDMA is synonymous with UMTS which is 3G for GSM networks.
I got Nexus S on ATT and I have tried it with a TMobile SIM (got surprised because phone isn't locked...) but it works on 2G only.
I'm wondering if it will work properly (as 3G) in Europe. Does it cover 900 and 2100?
What is ATT's data frequency? Is it 2100?
thanks !
I'm gonna reply to my own topic: according with Wiki ATT uses 850 MHz and 1900 MHz for UMTS (3G) that means ATT (unlocked) phone will work as 2G in Europe (2100 MHz)
On the other hand, T-Mobile's frequencies are 1700 MHz (uplink) and 2100 MHz (downlink).
Does it mean a T-Mobile phone will be able to work properly on Europe's 3G networks (2100 MHz?
I'm not into wireless technology, but my g2x would have signal with a:
1.german sim card in Germany
2.swedish sim card in Sweden
3.english sim card in UK
but it didn't work with a bulgarian sim card in Bulgaria. And by looking at the frequencies supported, I am confused. Can someone explain it to me?
G2X:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 1700 / 2100
BG operators:
1 Mtel GSM-900/1800 (GPRS, EDGE)
2100 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+
LTE 5.4 [22] (May 2013)
2 GLOBUL GSM-900/1800 (GPRS, EDGE)
2100 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA
3 VIVACOM
(Formerly vivatel) GSM-900/1800 (GPRS, EDGE)
2100 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+
LTE (testing)

Will this phone work with 3G speeds or only EDGE? Amazon Link.
From what I can gather, Claro frequencies are as follows:
CDMA 1xEV-DO in 800/1900 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE in 850/1900 MHz
UMTS/HSDPA service in the 850 MHz band
This phone shows:
Network Frequency
- 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900Mhz
- 3G: WCDMA 850/2100Mhz
It doesn't show anything for UMTS, which a friend is insisting is needed for anything better than EDGE speeds.
Is this true? I am buying as a gift and the current phone the guy is using is capable of 3G speeds there. I wouldn't want to give him something slower, as he uses Whatsapp and stuff like that a lot.
Thanks for any help, I searched for about an hour before I gave up and decided to ask.
I have been looking in many different places and could not get a decisive result towards which E8 model has which frequecy bands, especially concerning the 3G bands.
I hope one could give us a conclusive answer to this.
I myself have an M8sw chinese dual sim E8, and I still cant tell this answer wether I have
850, 1900, 2100 or
900, 1900, 2100 or
850, 900, 2100 or
850, 900, 1900, 2100
And I could not find one conclusive answer to this.
Please if someone can link each model to its bands, I would be extremely greatful.

Ian, I guess tou are the one, when it comes to E8. Thanks.
Just one more question. How did you figure it out?
You speek Chinese? The site has no English version. I thought I could use it for reference, but unfortunately I coudlnt due to language barrier.
Use Google translate, man...
