Fuze use in Germany

Hello everyone. I recently moved to Germany from the US and had my Fuze SIM unlocked. Well today I went to a T-mobile kiosk and the rep told me that I can use the phone for regular phone service with no problems but he didn't think that the US spec Fuze would work on the Internet with their data plan? Does anyone know if this is true? Why would it not work? Does T-mobile in Germany use a different band for Internet that the US Fuze doesn't support? Any information that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Murnutz

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_frequency_bands#GSM_frequency_usage_in_Europe
for normal gsm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
for umts (3g)
and of cause if you got a non gsm device like a simcardless cmda phone == nowhere

itll work fine for phone and data up to 2g. if you want 3g check if it can do international bands or just us ones.

[Q] About AWS-1 and Acer Z130

Hi everybody
I bought an ACER Z3 (Z130) in France. Very nice and simple device. I like it and i use it for Internet & mail with my provider SOSH (Orange F) without problem.
On 14th october, i'll leave France to Canada for 1 year and i want to keep my cellphone.
I searched a Canadian cellphone provider in Edmonton, AB.
I found Roger, Telus, Bell .... Cellphone plans are very expensive in North America than Europe ! (~$CA 40 for 150min, 200Mb 0_o)
And ... I found "Mobilicity" and "Wind mobile" ! That's good ! Cheap and unlimited Internet plan without time engagement.
But, i read that you have to get an AWS-1 compatible devise.
My Z130 is worked on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz Band and UMTS 900/2100 MHz band.
Unfortunately, Devise have to work on UMTS 1700 and 2100Mhz to work on this type of network.
My question is : Is it possible to update my cellphone to work on this AWS band by a software ? An another ROM ? Or it's impossible due to hardware question ?
Thank you for any information you can give me.
Sincerely
Tyto~
NB: Sorry for my "basic" English ^^

[Q] International OPO and LTE 700MHz

Hi guys, I have just migrated my plan from 3G to LTE plan, I live in Taiwan, and my telco's primary line is LTE 700MHz, while their secondary line is LTE 1800MHz. When I am at the Customer Service center, the guys tested 4G with his phone (Galaxy S5), it was capable of archiving 25Mbps, but my OPO barely can reach 10Mbps, so I suspect it was on the 1800MHz band. Why? My OPO is International one, and should't have problem getting 700MHz band. Perhaps modem problem or what? (Bought via invite, received on Jan 14 2015)
ROM as in signature, baseband came with the ROM.

Hi soralz,
They will open the 700 mhz in my country in the futur (this year probabely)
Do you find you answer about it ? modem update ?
Thanks

[Q] Using US-purchased Moto G 2015 in Europe?

Hey everyone,
My friend is currently in the US and wants to purchase a phone that can be used both in the US and in Europe (more specifically in Hungary) as he's probably going to be travelling between the two continents. If he were to buy the phone through Moto Maker in the US, would everything (phone calls, 2g, 3g, 4g) work as it should? Or 4g wouldn't work? I'm confused by these band-related things.
Thanks in advance for the answers!

2G and 3G would work... 4G/LTE is a different matter entirely.
The "LTE Bands" refer to specific frequency space in the wireless spectrum licensed to carriers in various parts of the world. Your device must have support for the LTE band(s) used by your carrier in order to connect to their LTE service.
US Version supports LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, 7, and 17, these are commonly used LTE Bands in North America... In the European version LTE Bands 1, 3, 7, 8, and 20 are supported and are the most commonly used across the EU. Only 7 overlaps (note that 7 is not in widespread deployment in Europe, only certain carriers in specific areas use it), whether this is good enough would depend on the carrier that would be used in Europe.
You can check what carrier uses what bands here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks

Unable to connect to 4G+ on my phone (Nokia 8 Sirocco) which i bought overseas

Hi, I bought a new Nokia 8 Sirocco from Hong Kong and is using on my home network in Singapore. However I am only able to connect to 4G network. The phone is not able to achieve 4G+ connection on my network.
The phone is able to support the bands that my telco is using, LTE band 3 and 7. I tried contacting my telco and the technician has been trying to troubleshoot the issue on the network side but unfortunately, they informed me that there is no issue with the network, and confirmed that the phone does support the bands of the network. In this case, I should be going back to HMD to request for assistance.
At the moment, HMD support doesn't seem to be of any help. If I do not mistaken, both Hong Kong and Singapore are using similar bands, ie Band 3 and 7....
May I know how I can enable my phone to achieve 4G+ speed instead of the usual 4G speed?
Thank you in advance.
