Am from india and my uncle is planning to visit USA. If he brings Nexus 5 from playstore in USA and bring it to India, will SimCards from India work on it??
Yes it will since they are unlocked and usually have the 2100 band for 3G speeds

Not only will the sim cards work but the they sell a optional Dongle-USB interface for power and extra storage. Perfect :fingers-crossed:

Guys I was wondering if the unlocked version of Nexus 5 will work with the Indian carries . Nexus 5 is much cheaper.
And what else I should take in consideration before asking relatives to buy it for me from play store?

Yes it will work in India, but on HSPA only, not on LTE. As far as I can tell the only band used right now in India is Band 40 which is not supported by either model.
Apparently Videocon will be launching Band 3 LTE during the next year. This would be compatible with the Europe/Asia version of the Nexus 5. If your relatives order it to North America though, you will get a different version that does not have Band 3 LTE.
Both versions will support all Europe/Asia HSPA bands though.

Thanks a lot for replying mate. Yes my relatives stay in North America and they will buying from there only via play store. LTE is not a big deal for me right now as even 3G is not very wide spread and 4G will surly take time in India. So what say I should ask them to buy it right? Also what else should I consider?
It'll be fine with HSPA+ which in itself is a rarity so LTE isn't much of a concern for a couple years atleast. There are reports that it might launch by mid November in Google Play Store India but if you're like me I'd say get it now.
Dear Nexus 5 Users,
I've been using HOX till this date and happy with it. My friends are coming from USA to Netherlands in another 4 weeks, so I've planned to upgrade my HOX to N5, when I've checked the price in Google play store USA, I saw it for just $400 for 32 gb model. It says the product is Unlocked, but when i was checking the sites for any compatibility issues when used in Europe (Netherlands), there has not been a clear answers given.
So, I'm sorry If my question sounded Dumb...kindly answer my question...
Will LTE work in Europe..??
I believe the google play store sells the unlocked model of nexus 5...also i believe it does support GSM Triband and I'm 95% confident that N5 bought in google play USA will work in Netherlands...but i believe N5 XDA users can confirm it...

i guess he will bring the D820 (North America model): GSM and 3G will work in Europe normally but not LTE(4G) because most of 4G operators in Europe use Band 3 (1800 MHZ) or 7 (2600 MHZ) or 20 (800 MHZ) and D820 does not support these bands as LTE (any way check on what band your operator provide the LTE) see here for band list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
if he can find the D821 version, then you will be able to use 4G in Europe for sure.
see here difference between D820 and D821 regarding 4G file:///C:/Users/Samer/Desktop/Differences%20between%20the%20two%20Nexus%205%20models,%20D820%20and%20D821.htm
I wanted to know if anyone has tried ordering nexus 5 to India from US using shopandship.com or borderlinx or other similar means.If so how much did the total amount come to and how much time it took?
Incase people are wondering how to do it then here is the guide:

Is the US version the right one for India? Remember there is the D820 for North America and the D821 for the rest of the World

My friends had bought it from there and its working in India without any issue.What is the difference between D820 or D821?
Editk i found the difference.Is it possible to tell them i need D821 when i buy it from US?
No, D821 is only available outside of the US so you'll have to get it from Europe if you want/need the D821 variant

My friend is using his phone which he got from US without any issue so it should work for me also right?
Yes, just not on 4G (unless your network uses the same 4G bands as Us networks)

As of now 3g only thanks a lot for ur help.But do u know the safest and cheaper way to ship it to India other than sending it along with someone.
Coz in india 32gb costs around 34k where as if i buy from US it will cost only 25k but i dont have anyone coming to india anytime soon
NO idea, I'm lucky enough to get it from the Play Store. Good luck
My N5 is from the US i.e. D820. Works perfectly.. And for 4G god in future may bless us with that..

It's more likely to be your network provider giving you 4g but unlikely they'll give it on same band as USA. USA are rebels. Rest of the world adhere to global (or at least national) standards

and which is the best screen guard and case u would suggest.I have heard about spigen?is it good?
Hi,
I bought the Huwaei honor 6 in India, Now I have moved to US.
I bought a new at and t prepaid sim card . It seems the mobile does not work with US 4G mobile networks, because it is based on bands B1 (2100MHz) /B3 (1800MHZ), B38,B3,B40 . whereas AT&T and T-Mobile use the band B2(1900MHz)/AWS(B4) for 4G LTE services..
Am getting only the 2G signal . I don't know if Huwaei is going to fix this issue in future.
Is there any other workaround for this network frequency issue?
It is an issue of AT&T not Huawei, because Huawei promised to support certain frequencies and it does so. But AT&T does not provide freq service to its customer, you with your phone bought from somewhere you wish. So I will stand with you to protest to our provider to switch the 4G frequencies to match to our phones. Hand-in-hand!
Huawei Honor 6 Frequency Issue
Yeah . We have to figure this issue . Seems no network in USA supports the frequency.

Which version do you have,L02/12 or L04?
I have L04 version.

While, it seems L01/L11 models support 4G frequency 1900.
You can keep hope the CM ROM might unlock all frequencies.
Ohh .. Do you know any link where I can get Custom ROM for my model.
After owning a dual-sim Moto G2, I knew I wanted a G3 with dual sims and 2GB RAM (16GB ROM). Unfortunately this isn't available in the UK so I bought one from eBay which came from a seller in India.
I don't NEED 4G as I have a mobile hotspot which works very well, but I don't take this everywhere with me. Is it possible to flash the modem or something to get 4G in the UK using this model?
Thanks,
Marc

This isn't just a modem thing, flashing a different modem will not enable the missing bands, that "feature" is buried deep in a secure partition of the device... And since there isn't a dual SIM 4G 16GB model in your country, until someone figures out how to unlock all the LTE bands in the device, there is no way to enable this at this time.

Thanks, I thought it was a long shot. I wasn't sure of the correct terms but I've just searched for "unlock lte bands" and it seems to have been done for some models, fingers crossed someone figures it out for the G3!
Cheers

Really?!? Wow maybe I can get this working then. A Wikipedia page (I can't post links just yet) says that India has 2300MHz (band 40) 4G frequency, whereas UK has 800, 1800 and 2600MHz according to a PC Advisor link which I also can't post
I'm on O2 (both sims - I know, a bit daft but that's what I've got) and I've confirmed 4G is enabled on both sims. I guess the frequency that India don't use, is the 800MHz one that O2 uses, yes? Sods law if so. But I'll be porting my number to another network ASAP if that is right..
Thanks
