Hello,
I'm using the U11 currently through Verizon in the US with no issues, running Oreo. I'm about to travel with my wife to Germany and the Verizon planner doesn't recognize my device. My wife has an HTC 10 which will work but I was curious, will mine work with their travel pass?
Thanks

If its cdma then it might not work as eu networks are all gsm.
If its gsm then you're best calling Verizon for advice as they might have their own roaming rules.

anyone here use a euro Sensation in the US? what carrier are you using and do you get 3G?
thank you in advance!
The US and EU are the same so you shouldn't have any issues and it will run at 4G.
And btw, Welcome to USA

If it uses the same bands as the US version it should work for T-Mobile and Simple Mobile(prepaid mvno that uses t-mobiles tower).
Both gets 4G where its available.

yup tmobile sells z710e and from your signature i can tell yours is z710e so there you have it!
Europe has GSM band. Don't think they use that in USA. But I heard att and T-Mobile should work though.

I took my EU Sensation to Florida in Septemeber - bought a tmobile SIM and had it up and running within a few hours. The initial problem that I had was that my phone was registered with tmobile in the UK - so the tmobile apps didn't work in the US with the help of tech support they registered the phone with themselves and I was able to use the tmobile apps including the $1.34 for internet per day which you have to activate daily.
Of course, now that I'm back in the UK - my tmobile apps don't work here but I don't need them here.

I believe that T-Mobile US is the same as Euro based phones, i.e. uses the same bands, 900Mhz, and AWS. Bell Canada and AT&T US use 850MHz which isn't compatible. They're both GSM for Voice, the data frequencies are different though.
Please correct if I've got that wrong. I know I looked up some of this and it all got scary.
There are various posts on the subject.
I found this so you can plug the county in and see what's compatibile.
(850MHz) http://www.gsmnation.com/htc-sensation-z710a-3g-850-1900-mhz.html
(900MHz) http://www.gsmnation.com/htc-sensation.html
EDIT: Why is life so complicated ? I thought we had it simple now, guess again. At least Pan Europe there is one standard (or so I believe).
Have fun.
thanks for all your input guys! i guess T-Mo is the way to go. my wife said that when she was back in the US (Hawaii and NY), she was not getting 3G on T-Mo while she was there.
could that just be that we don't have a 3G plan?
hey guys, i have the asia version of the sensation (z710e), and i'm planning to continue using it when i start school in the us in 2012. is it a simple matter of getting a sim card from t-mobile or another carrier that supports this particular version's bands and putting it in?
i have s-off and unlock.
thank you!
T-Mobile works on European/Asian bands
Can someone please help me with me new galaxy 3s? I just bought it from USA and i want to use it on Greece but it is locked on verizon.... What should i do?
That's an 800MHz/1900MHz CDMA phone. If Greece is like the rest of Europe and uses GSM, the phone doesn't have the radios to work there, so you can't use it. (The SIM is for data, not voice, but you need the basic connection to the network for it to work, and a CDMA phone won't connect to a GSM network.)
You should sell the phone to someone in the US (who wants a Verizon phone - it can't be "unlocked" for other carriers) and buy the GSM version of the phone.

New Verizon phones have worldwide roaming ability (including the S3) so it should work on any GSM carrier outside the US.

It is a sch i535rwb 4g phone. How can i check if it has a worldwide roaming phone? Also what should i do so that i can use it in Greece?
You need the SGH T999 (The GSM variant of the SGSIII) The Verizon variant should NOT work in Greece on a Greek carrier.

Are you sure for that? If i am not wrong this is an US version too, whats the diference and i can use sgh t999 in Greece?
I used to think it was native but apparently not. You can still enable worldwide roaming though.
Here's the thread, you need to do some hackery

You can just root it and and flash the synergy mod rom and it will work on any carrier
Does it actually have a SIM card slot or just a built in one?
If you're looking to use it primarily in your area I'd look for a different phone - sell or trade this one. I've heard the GSM can be used but that it's pretty terrible and certainly not what you'd want for a primary phone.

My girlfriend really wants the mint colored V10 at&t has exclusivity over, but she's on Verizon. I'm not sure how locked down Verizon is. I believe V10s have both CDMA and GSM radios. Please and thank you
It may accept the Verizon SIM but it may not connect to LTE.
Carrier branded devices are tricky. We're not completely to the point of switching devices between carriers in the USA as fluidly as it should be.

No AT&T has no CDMA radio, it will not work calls/sms on Verizon.
EDIT: I know it would only be the back portion of the phone, but you could get the light blue / cyan / mint? back battery cover off ebay or amazon.

So what about global travel to countries that don't have GSM networks? Is the AT&T variant useless?

Verizon CDMA doesn't work outside of US and has to switch to GSM globally (Verizon Global/world phones are CDMA domestically and GSM Globally), so if AT&T GSM is useless in Countries without GSM (are there any?) then the Verizon is as useless. . Anyways as far as I know, there are only GSM and Verizon variants
Verizon works on AT&T, since it switches to GSM. AT&T does not work on Verizon, since it's CDMA.
There are plenty of countries that aren't GSM. Canada, Argentina, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, China, India, Japan, Austria, Germany, Poland, Russia and Sweden to name a few.

Off topic, I stand corrected;
Here's some good references, hope they help determine which device works best for your global travels.

Thanks for the info man. Really appreciate it
I know from experience for the most part gsm is the majority of the unlocked sim carrier, but I recently came on the moto 4g and 4g+ that were unlocked to every cdma/gsm carrier. I then found out the nexus 5x was the exact same way, so I opted out for a nexus 5x from google fi. Nice phone, but now I'm curious what other phones have the capability of being used and are unlocked for cdma and gsm across the board.
So I am just curious if anyone knew of a list of phones that are unlocked sim for any and/or all carriers IE: sprint, at&t, t-mobile, Verizon, and so on, both cdma and gsm unlocked, not just limited to gsm only.
