I'm trying to figure out if an unlocked RM-877 variant of the 1020 will work with T-Mobile's LTE. Are people with this phone on T-Mobile getting LTE?
The RM-877 is sold as the AT&T model, but also for other carriers. And there's an unlocked, unbranded version out there also that also appears to be the RM-877.
Yes, it will. I have an unlocked AT&T branded 1020 and I get LTE.

This question seemed to come up a few times in the past, not sure if it was properly answered.
Got a Sensation 4G from TMobile Store in NYC last week. Brought it to the UK, and it is able to connect to the 3G network here no problem.
It did not even need un locking to connect to TMobile UK Network.
Funnily Enough, it never says 3G / H, it always says 4G on notification bar.

Will be very interesting to see if you see roaming charges on your next bill.

The "3G" and "H" symbol doesn't exist on the US Sensation. "4G" is the same as "H", HSPDA.
So the phone is unlocked? Seems odd - Anybody else with a US S4G try a different SIM?

Could you clarify that?
You don't unlock a phone by using a different SIM. You have to unlock the phone by entering an unlock code. Only after it's unlocked can it use a different brand SIM.

What I was trying to establish is whether the phone came unlocked or if you had to unlock it. You've answered. Thanks.
I got an unlock code from a web site, and now my sensation works in spain with Happy Movil.

MyTouch 4G in Germany
I'm in Germany with an unlocked MT4G and, while the calling feature works, the data/internet package does not. Per the carrier here (Tchibo/O2), they use the 1800 band which to my knowledge IS supported by the device.
Any ideas of why this isn't working would be appreciated ... of course more appreciated would be any ideas for a solution.
Cheers,

1800 is a GSM frequency, not 3G. 2100 is used for 3G in Germany.

http://www.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=GERMANY
According to the specs the MT4G does support the 1800 GSM band, although it's not used in the US. In theory it should work at 2G speed.
If it were me I'd be asking them why I'm not getting 3G on the 2100 frequency, but that may be a coverage issue.
ok, i got some problem with the verizon galaxy s3. I use at&t simcard on this phone and it seems working just fine. Here's a thing, after set apn setting on the phone i just only get edge speed(2g), i need someone helps me to figure out how to get the 3g/4g speed on this phone or give me a right apn setting for this. i really appreciated. thanks very much!
The bands for AT&T 3G/4G are locked on the handset, you are going to have stick on edge sadly!!

It's not a worst thing though. I got this one for only 100$ off craiglist and it works just fine. It just does not work right with a data, remind me of few years back when 2g was a fastest data service lol. Thanks again for let me know this issue.
AT&T runs on GSM band while Verizon runs on a CDMA network. I'm surprised your SIM even works. What other said is correct though, you are restricted to the slow 2G Edge speeds.

Well the S3 is a World phone, hence it comes with GSM bands too! if you hit Europe or Asia you will get 3G

Right it does. But they use different bands in other countries. Our phone isn't capable of using any and all bands. Only certain ones. If somehow these bands were unlocked, then you could get 3g here.

Hi,
I was thinking about buying a Lumia 1020 already unlocked or buy an AT&T locked and unlock it after to use on Bell's network. I was wondering if I would get LTE working? Are the bands compatible? I can't find anyone that bought a US 1020 to use on Bell's network.
Thank you very much for your help!

There is a thread in the development section of the VZW M8 forum with a how to enable fully functional T-mobile usage.
But out of the box I think it supports Voice on GSM and HSPA+ data and there maybe some additional fooling around necessary to get Text and MMS working. This is generally the story with all Verizons new smart phones.

Lol there are some threads already and some videos. I also have purchased one. I can confirm it is unlocked. Works great with Canadian Fido, rogers, telus and bell.
Somehow it cannot detect wind mobile at all which is really odd. It is confirmed that it works with T-Mobile. My old lg g2 is from T-Mobile which is unlocked and works great with wind. I simply don't understand why the tmobile sim will work Verizon HTC one m8 and not my wind sim. Both are wcdma. ��

Wind uses 1700 mhz which T-Mobile uses as well but not exclusively. This is why t-mobile phones will work on wind but just because a phone works with T-Mobile doesn't mean it will work on wind.

Yea I really need a fix for this. Does anyone know how to make the Verizon HTC One M8 work on WIND Mobile (1700 and 2100 MHz on GSM/UTMS and AWS frequencies)
I really need help and quick.
Thank you in advance!
would s-offing a sprint a9 and converting it to unlocked version or at&t sim unlock my sprint a9 to use with at&t network?
No, you won't get LTE because the bands are different on the Sprint model.

I checked on the site Captain Throwback linked and though LTE will not work on the AT&T network, it looks like it will on the T-Mobile network. So maybe go that route.

Is it possible to flash a s-off Sprint A9 with firmware that will enable band 17, or is the HW completely different?
