Hi guys,
I have a friend in Denmark coming over to US for about a month and wants to know if his Danish purchased Nexus S will work with the US 3G frequencies.
If I am not mistaken, it should work on the T-Mobile 3G/4G but I wanted to double check here.
Thanks
Hey guys, I have a question and hopefully you can answer and point me into the right direction.
I recently moved from England where i purchased my HTC sensation, and i moved too Canada, British Columbia. My phone is S-off and everything, so i was just wondering if i can get it to work in Canada, and what i would need to download and change or w.e else for it to be able to work on canadian simcards?
any information is greatly appreciated
Thankyou

have you tried a canadian sim? your phone may already be unlocked...did you 'buy' it or did it come with a plan?

what bands do they use in canada? in the uk?
the sensation comes with
3G 900/2100
OR
3G 850/1900/2100
you need to find out which one you have, and then go with the telephone company that supports it
sorry, i don't know how to find out what you have, i'm sure other people do though
Hey man, thanks for the reply, i found out the in Canada, it is 3G 850/1900 MHz them two bands for 3G which i am not too bothered about, i would just rather keep my phone instead of having to buy a new one altogether. I got my unlock code from the guide posted above which is awesome, but when ever i put in my friends Canadian simcard it just comes up with no service.. it allows me to look at his messages etc however. I will try some other carriers today and see if anything else works
I was/still am on a Vodafone Contract, which is what the phone got shipped with.
This may sound like a really nooby question, but does flashing a different radio help at all? The main carrier where i am is TELUS, so i dont know if any of these; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867 would help at all?
Thanks for your help!
Your UK Vodafone 3G frequencies are 900/2100. You would therefore not get 3G there. You need to check whether Telus operate 2G at all. Bear in mind that some operators, like "3"in the UK use only 3G .
For your UK Sensation to work there, you need to find a GSM operator that uses 2G. This is you only option.
or you could purchase mobile wifi 3G (if they do that in canada) and use that to access the internet from your phone
...it's a shame, but your best bet would be to sell the sensation...you simply won't be able to access anything other than GSM in Canada

International z710e works in Canada with Wind and Mobilicity. The 3G frequency of z710e is 900/AWS/2100. Wind and mobilicity operates on AWS.
For 2G connectivity, it's either Fido, Chatr, or Rogers.
You can confirm phone (850 or 900) country/carrier compatibility from:

I did try to post this info yesterday but seem to have completely failed to get it from the laptop to XDA.
For the Z710e it shows the following for Canada:

NP, hope it helps.
to find out if you have the Z710e or Z710a
goto settings>>About phone>>Phone identity. Look at the model number at the top
I believe European models are the same as Asian models which is Z710e. You can get 3G with Wind or Mobilicity networks only. I recommend Wind, they have $29 no contract with unlimited data, unlimited texts including international and unlimited calls Canada wide within wind home zone. Your phone will still work with rogers, bell, fido, kodoo etc. but only 2G
Hello, my friend is looking to buy a smartphone but shes asked me for some help and i dont quite know the answer.... She lives in the US and is on AT&T but comes to university here in England.
My question is, if she buys an AT&T phone, what gsm bands will the phone require for 3g to work here in england (and will it be HSDPA?). Information on the internet is scattered and confusing...
Better call your carrier there in England and ask them what frequencies they use. Then search for a smartphone that works on the frequencies available there in England. GSMarena has a nice phone finder, with a lot of filters (including network frequency)

I know the Galaxy S II (both i9100 and i777 [AT&T version]) will both work in England because the English i9100 works on AT&T for both 3G and HSPA+ ("4G").
Hello Q&A,
I've recently been looking at the multitude of inexpensive Chinese phones available on the market, I'm attracted to them because of the price and some of the sexy designs they have.
Of course, they all say 2G 850/900/1800/1900mhz and 3G WCDMA.
I was planning to use MetroPCS (which has a 4G LTE network, I would post link but it isn't letting me.) and I don't know if the 2G phone will work with their 4G plan.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just don't understand this aspect of phones at all.
Obviously I wouldn't get 4G speeds, but could I get 2G speeds on a 4G LTE network?
Thanks for any help, it's very appreciated.
Hate to bump
Hate to bump my own posts, I'll only do it once. Sorry if this question is inappropriate for this board.
Hi all,
Apologies if this has already been asked, I did search beforehand.
As you know the OPO does not support LTE band 20, which is what O2 UK used for their 4G LTE signal. Does anyone know if the LTE bands can be unlocked via firmware? Or is it a limitation in the hardware?
Many thanks

I believe it is a limitation of the hardware. Do you have the OPO already?
I do, yes. It definitely does not pick up any 4G signal on O2. Thanks for your answer, not what I hoped but oh well
..
Long story short, we have attempted to unlock band 20 with no success on the opo.
..
Hummm search and read is hard stuff....
