I'm planning on pre-ordering the phone very soon, but have one question: will it work in America? I'm going to Florida - for 2 weeks - in December and while the phone won't have any issues with cellular bands in UK, I'm not sure if this can be said in America.
Possible carries are Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. Can someone answer this for me, so I won't have to worry about getting a budget phone just for the trip there?

The Tmo bands for 4G are 1700/2100, correct?
Would this work on 4G on Tmo USA?

This would certainly be anyone's guess. But would anyone be willing to give their best guess as to when Tmo would come out, if at all, and if this would be before?
Thank You

Thank you in advance. I heard from a place in UK that the unlocked version comes out the week of 11/7
I would love to get but i am hearing that if I get a discount especially, the SGS2 is better hardware wise and in several months will probably have ICS?
Thoughts on that with whether it unlocked will work on Tmobile AND then also ATT if and only if the merger happens.

Dear friends, i need your help about something.
I have bought a USA version galaxy s3 that is said to be unlocked for GSM, the model number is GT-I9300MBDDBT
Maybe i was too hasty to order the phone before getting more information about it's version.
I live in EUROPE will this model work in Europe without problems? or should i cancel my order, i also want to use the 3G.
Please help me , i still have the option to cancel the shipment :crying:
I'm pretty sure that's a European phone not a USA S3

This. The GT-I9300 is the international edition of the S3.

The full details of the GSM capabilities of the Verizon GS3 have not been released, but preliminary details indicate it will work in Europe (or any other GSM serviced area) for voice, but will be limited to Edge data speeds. As I said, this is not confirmed.

Yeah we know that, but his model number is the international version. Not US.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Am about to take the plunge and join the Galaxy Note 10.1 family.
I have a choice of buying this in the UK or the US.
However I will only be able to connect the device to the internet to receive updates in the UK or in Sri Lanka (!).
If I buy a US model will I be able to connect to the internet and receive official Samsung updates in the UK or another country?
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this matter for me.
(The US model I'm thinking of is from Negri Electronics: black 3g model with SKU SMGGALNOT16UB)
I think the way updates work are every model number has a country code built in and when checking for update the same information is sent and hence it connects to the server of that particular country so irrespect of with country you are in you will only receive update for country of orgin
Thanks Samir,
Guess I could get either one then. Any idea if the UK or US market is likely to get updates sooner?
Also, does anyone know if the black 3G unit is officially available in the US? I'm wondering if Negri is selling some international unit.
Plus, OT, but any idea if a 32GB 3G model is available anywhere?
I think US is the last one to get updates but its not that far away from others, No officially 3G version is not available in US sorry I am not from US but my opinion is based on user feedback given in this forum.
As far as 32GB version I have no clue to be frank
JB hifi in Australia sells the 3g 32gb model though I don't know if they post overseas... It's about $800AUD, not sure about postage...
Hi,
I am buying a note edge tomorrow, so if someone knowledgeable may answer my questions, It would be much appreciated.
I'm buying the edge from someone in Dubai to use in the UK
The guy said (because it was cheaper) he bought the European version (SM-N915FY) instead of the SM-N915G (which is the international version in most shops in Dubai)
He mentioned it was 4g and his baseband is ANK4 (I have no idea what that means)- does that mean I can use it in the UK unrestricted with any UK network and get 4g speeds?
My other main concern is while I was trying to research this I came across troublesome concerns -
1) I saw someone selling the N915FY version on ebay who said he can't get a signal and has service issues in the UK and the phone can only be used for emergency calls - but phone will work abroad
2) Another ebay seller was selling N915FY version with a sticker on the box which said "EUROPEAN MODEL - this product must be activated with a sim card issued from a mobile operator from EUROPE "
so for those two reasons , I am very concerned - can someone clarify the situation please?
It is the first time I am buying a used phone so not sure what to look for
It also looks like the N915G has had a stable lollipop update, so is that the better version compared with N915FY?
Thanks for your time
Hello all,
My sister decided to buy a S21+ off Kijiji and when I found out I checked the model to see if it was even Canadian, and it was not.
So from what I see she might have lost a big 5G band, what else is bad with this phone for use in Canada? Can I put the Canadian firmware on it? or should I just sell it to someone in the states? What else would she loose?
Thanks everyone
As long as she has 4G losing 5G isn't the end of downloading...
and will updates still come through?
