i've a relative in the USA, and he wants to buy a smartphone like present for me, I'm looking for a smartphone Android that can i use in Italy, i saw the Galaxy Nexus, Rezound, can you help me for this?
He needs to make sure that it's a GSM phone that supports your carrier's frequencies.
My Carrier is Vodafone, and i will use 3g and Gsm, what are the models that can i use in Italy?
Coz i'm interested in Beats Audio and Htc, and i'm interested to buy also Galaxy Nexus... but I must can use it in Italy (Can i use Verizon's Galaxy Nexus in Italy)?
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.
Like in 2013, I'm going to spend summer in USA and I need help with solving one problem. I'm living in Poland and we are using 1900/2100 UMTS. Of course I bought my GT-I9100 here and it works really well in all European countries, but not in USA. Last summer, I bought prepaid card from SimpleMobile (T-Mobile) and I had to use EDGE (2G) for two months. I wasn't prepere for that. But I want to be smarter this year and get some informations from you What should I do to have 3G/LTE in USA as well as in Poland? I was thinking about changing phone to Lumia 920. If I'll buy this phone in Poland, will it works in USA? I mean 3G/LTE of course. Or maybe I should buy american version of this phone, but I'm not sure if it will work with Polish 1900/2100? Or maybe I just chose wrong prepaid plan and that's why it didn't work?
I depend upon to you guys and I would be very grateful for your help
Sorry for my english
Hi,
I have a north american version Nexus 5 bought in Canada. I will be travelling to Hong Kong and want to use the 4G network there
Am I able to do this or the north american verison cannot use the 4G LTE bands in Hong Kong
Is there any way to flash it or ROM it to change the bands if so?
Thanks
US version should NOT work in HK
If it is only for a short visit, you might have a look for pocket Wifi instead, Many shopping mall offer free Wifi there.

4G of US version (D820) will not work, only 2G and 3G working.
p.s. my wife got the D820 which bought from google online when in canada, so I quite sure about that.

You are indeed correct. Everything but LTE will work just fine.
I have a similar question, but flipped a little for the D821. I want to buy my wife a Nexus 5 phone that will work in both China and Hong Kong -- preferably 4G.
What if I purchase the D821 for use in Asia that, from my research on the 4G LTE bands, will work on 4G in those two countries. Then I bring it back to the US for use. Can anyone confirm whether it will work on US GSM based networks' 4G? I'm almost positive it will not work on either T-Mobile or AT&T, but I can't find much info on any other GSM based network here in the US (which I think use AT&T or T-Mobile networks anyway).
I'd appreciate any help you can offer. I'm still doing research, but there's a good deal going on on ebay for brand new, unlocked D821s for about $375 USD -- reputable Top Seller too. So, I probably need to act fast. In the end, this will be my wife's first smartphone, and so 3G will be fast enough for her, and works perfectly fine in both US and Asia.
THANKS!

3G will work, 4G will not work. Basically the N5 is a world phone except when it comes to LTE, then you need either the North American version or the rest of the world version.
Hey,
I just need a bit of help. I am interested in buying Galaxy S6 International model. The reason is for quicker updates and what not. I live in Canada and my carrier is Windmobile which uses 3G - BAND 4 (AWS). I did read through forum, but still unsure. Can someone 100% confirm that Galaxy S6 G920I has 3G - Band 4 (AWS)? And does this G920I model support LTE Band 4, 17, 2, for Rogers and Bell in Canada?
Thank you!
I want to know too.
im interested in knowing the answer to this as well.
its cheaper for me to buy a g920i model from amazon than buying the canadian version from wind.
will the signal strength be different?
According to Expansys.ca the 920i will work on WIND for voice and HSPA+ but not LTE; it does support LTE on Bell, Telus and Rogers. No version of S6 currently supports LTE on WIND AFAIK. I ended up getting a 64GB 920f from Expansys because I wanted a white device right away. Shipped it was $30 less than outright from Bell with the perk of being unlocked.
