I'll be switching to T-Mobile soon and wanted to use my SCH-I535 as a stopgap until the LG G3 comes out.
What GSM or hspa frequencies are supported?

Read post #3. That's about the most technical info that I recall about specific GSM radios.
That's the best info I've seen. It also confirms my experience on DTAC on the Verizon GS3 in Thailand. They use 1800 GSM & 850/2100 HSPA.
I guess I'll be rough'n it until I find my next phone.

That's great! I've wanted to use my S3 for the next time I travel abroad but I haven't found my way away from the states yet in over a year. Glad I could help out a bit.

Nope, T-Mobile is a GSM carried and Verizon is CDMA. This phone is only built with a GSM radio.

Doesn't it use AWS? That means technically you could put it on carriers like Cricket and Metro PCS then right?
Nope. Get a droid charge

AWS?
It can be used on any GSM carrier from what I know. I mean, I'm on AT&T.
What do you mean nope? Why
Couldn't you just change the settings to metro pcs or cricket like you can with the evo?

Evo is cdma no sim card galaxy s 4g is gsm with sim card required for use on the network.

Really? I sure as hell didnt know my phone was GSM. You seem to be missing the question completely.
Unless you have a world band phone that has cdma bands plus gsm bands it wont work Verizon blackberries have cdma+gsm some did should i say. Hince why you could go overseas and roam off vodaphone phone also had sim card.
but to answer the queston no
samsung glaxy s gsm no cdma not even compatable with 4g lte
as far as cricket and metro pcs they dont use sim cards so no way to activate the phone on the network.

On the moon our weekend are so advanced they encompass the entire week
simply put its not going to hapen end of story... unless verizon goes gsm... doubtfull
Verizon won't go GSM. If they did, it'd be pretty stupid anyway. CDMA implementations seem to be better than GSM.
WCDMA is a worldwide band for connectivity, I believe.
Hey yall..I need some opinions since im leaving USA and going bk to mexico I wanna know whats the best phone that at&t got since I cant take my galaxy s 4g ...

Your best bet would be to look at the AT&T website and check out reviews for the phones that may interest you on YouTube.
Another solution would be to unlock your SGS4G so you can use it on AT&T.

Aside from the obvious...dual processor etc...there are a couple of notable down grades in the sgs2 from sgs4g that will effect you daily. The main difference is the drop in audio quality, Samsung went cheap with the DAC's...no more Wolfson, some cheap Yamaha instead. Big turn off for me as my phone doubles as my mp3 player. I also read multiple online reviews that said the sgs2 eats battery like no phone before it. I'm not knocking it, but trading off audio quality and battery life for higher benchmark scores isn't for me. I'd unlock your sgs4g and get an AT&T Sim IMO..

Galaxy s 2. Infuse in the exact same thing as our phone, just a bigger screen and better camera. At least the galaxy s 2 is sorta an upgrade.

I'm in mexico at the moment. Don't bring your sgs4g. All carriers here use the same freq bands for 3g. They use 850 for 3G and 1900 for gsm, so you would get only 2g (
Edge).
Based on that info, look for a phone that will work well here.
Sent from my SGS4G using xda forum app
SGS4G can use the following Band (frequency):
* 850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (1700/2100)

is your phone unlocked? Or are u on tmobile and just not getting 3g because thats kinda expected. I know the vibrant can do att 3g but im not sure on the GS4G
I'm not from the US. I just bought the phone there. I live in Venezuela and over there I have 3g just fine. I came to mexico to work, and bought a Sim card here, from one of the local carriers.
However, all of them use the same band for 3g which is 850. The sgs4g can only get hsdpa (3g) on 1900, 1700 and 2100 mhz.
If you don't mind (you should) using only edge, then bring it with
you, otherwise get another phone.

Hi,
Has anyone found a way to force our phones to roam without rooting? I have bad Verizon service at my apartment but good At&t. Thanks in advance.

You do realize that you can't' "roam" from ATT to VZW and vice versa?
ATT uses GSM technology while VZW uses CDMA. ATT has its own SIM card that will not work with VZW and VZW has its own as well.
There is a thread around here about using the VZW SGS3 with international GSM roaming, this requires you to have another cell provider's SIM, so you get a different number. I don't think this would work with ATT as they use different GSM frequencies from the rest of the world.
I don't even think the VZW SGS3 has the correct radio to work with ATT....
I guess I should mention that Altel got bought out by AT&T here and I used to be able roam on their towers using the app Roam Control. But sadly it doesn't work with the S3.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I did find another thread after I responded to you initially: While I am correct about not being able to roam between the 2 networks, you can apparently "switch" to using one or the other... so you would have to swap SIM cards to do this.
Although at the moment, I don't think 3G data is working...
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775566&page=13

Doubt it. American LTE networks work on completely different bands. The iPhone 5 is pretty much the only phone that is compatible with almost every LTE network.
