Hi,
I just wanna know if it will work with Bell if i buy it unlock.
The bands of the original galaxy s are :
UMTS/HSPA 850/1900
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
and the samsung galaxy s II :
UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
[Q]
What is the difference between HSPA And UMTS ?
It works on AT&T which uses the same radio bands as Bell if I'm not mistaken so yes, it will. You'll need to have it unlocked though as I'm sure you do know.

Hello Guys !
SII Network :
Network
HSPA+ 21Mbps/ HSUPA 5.76Mbps
EDGE/ GPRS Class 12
Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Quad band UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
Do At&t 3G networks work on SII ?
or just Edge/GPRS ?
Thank you ALL! AND SORRY FOR MY POOR ENGLISH
AT&T:
Quad band GSM 850/1900
Quad band UMTS 850/1900
Yes
It works, plenty of users (myself included) are currently using it on ATT 3G/4G network.
You should have searched a bit on the forum, this is a new thread that is unnecessary!!!!
Does the HTC Mozart support HSDA 850? and has anyone used this phone on Bell or Telus in Canada or in the US on ATT?
by some research...

Hi friend..
well as i can read on Wikip.edia, Telus and Bell Mobility work on HSPA 850 & 1900 MHz. At&T, work on HSPA 850 & 1900 MHz and also on GSM 850 & 1900 MHz.
In the specifications of Mozart by HTC site you can see:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
so i think Mozart can work good only on AT&T that have GSM protocol.... but i saw also on Canadian HTC site and i found that HCT provide HTC Surround branded Telus... i search for specifications and i see:
UMTS/HSPA – 850/1900/2100Mhz
Quad-band GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900Mhz
..practically the same!
I cannot try that cause im in Italy... but i think it work good too.
Hope i helped you a bit! SEE YAA
Want to get the s3 but want to make sure it works with TMobile.
No, you will only get edge speeds, no 3g.

It works for me. Bought my unbranded, non-simlocked phone in Europe. Visiting US now. Daily plan with T-Mobile works fine for me.

And you are getting 3g speeds??
I doubt that, the international version doesn't have the frequency for tmo's 3g.

Sorry I pressed thanks instead of quote.
No, its nothing to do with the modem. If it was, people all over the world would be buying devices from other countries.
The fact is the international GSM version only works on the frequencies its designed to work on. This is a hardware limitation and no amount of software will resolve that.
International frequencies are different to USA frequencies and as such, devices not designed for the USA will not work to their full potential in the USA.
UK (international) uses 900 Mhz/1800Mhz GSM/3G where as USA T-mob uses 1900Mhz GSM and 2100Mhz 3G.
Because the International GSM quad band device is:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz...
The GSM and 2G function works on 1900 (T-mob) but has no way to use 2100 for 3G as its not physically possible
Edit:
USA Carrier Voice Frequencies (MHz) 3G 4G Notes
AT&T 850 (Band 5)/ 1900(Band 2) 850 / 1900 Band 17 (700MHz)/AWS (1700/2100 MHz) GSM
MetroPCS 1900 / AWS 1900 / AWS AWS CDMA
Sprint 1900 1900 2500 / 1900 G-Block CDMA

yes i agree for international version.. but if you read closer i DONT have the international version but the att version.. and as far as i know all the usa versions are the same with just diff. modems.
The international version will work in areas where T-Mobile is refarming 1900mhz to 3G. However this is only happening in parts of the coasts. I'm using it in Ohio and getting EDGE only. That said, it isn't too bad.

Erm, it's being tested in some coastal areas, but the 3g/hspa+ over the 1900 band is slated to go live on the majority of the network by the end of the year.

No service HELP or clairfication PLEASE
I purchased a Tinji i9300. I have been working on this for over 3 weeks. I have no service with T-mobile. It recognizes my SIM card as T-mobile. In Engineer Mode, my bands are, EGSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, GSM850, WCDMA-IMT-2000. I have tried numerous ROMs (stock and custom) and have rooted the phone. I have changed the IMEI. No service at all. Any thoughts? Band issue? T-mobile issue? Possible solution? **** out of luck? :crying:
Thank you!
The specifications of the Hong Kong version of Lumia 920 was officially released, here is the bands it supports according to Nokia Hong Kong Website:
Bands
GSM 850
GSM 900
GSM 1800
GSM 1900
WCDMA Band V (850)
WCDMA Band VIII (900)
WCDMA Band IV (1700)
WCDMA Band II (1900)
WCDMA Band I (2100)
LTE 700
LTE 800
LTE 850
LTE 900
LTE 1700
LTE 1800
LTE 1900
LTE 2100

Does this mean that the HK version can be used for AWS network such as Wind Mobile and T-mobile? I think the HK version is neither locked nor branded.

wow, the HK version supports north america LTE bands too....
I am wondering if I could get the Europe/Asia LTE bands on my Rogers Lumia 920
btw, The HK version is unlocked.
sure it does
if the box says 1700/2100 then it should support T-Mobile and Wind. I got mine unlocked from Rogers (with the stupid Rogers splash screen >_<), and it works perfectly on Wind, because on the box it specifies 1700/2100. People argue that those black 920s are the leftovers from Build, and got sent to carriers to sell, who knows. GL getting your pentaban 920 ^_^
Don't get to exited on the information on the Nokia website.
Exactly the same situation applies with the Nokia France and Germany websites. They do list the Nokia 920 with PentaBand 3G and 9 bands of LTE however the retail box for both the German and the France models only list QuadBand 3G and Pentaband LTE.
Until someone actually get one of those models and test them in USA or Canada we cannot tell whats the real deal with the Lumia 920 frequencies...
We can only hope this is true! And that it's firmware can be flashed on the Rogers one, and that would fix tethering issues etc.!!
I live in USA and if i buy me unlocked i9100 s2 and insert at&t sim card in it will i at least get 3g data signals? Or will it just be 2g EDGE? ps i do have 4g lte in my area even though i know it will not work on i9100.
Youll get better help if you go to one or two of the other forums on here.....like epic 4g touch model/tmobile usa version.

maybe your an iphone expert

I don't really understand your question, if you are in USA, if your sim card supports LTE, and if your phone supports USA broadband LTE, then you can use it, why wouldn't you? If you are using the good old I9100, (not 4G model) then of course it won't, because it only supports up to 3G+.
Edit: Take a look at this thing:
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
Rest of World:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
If you purchase an international version of 4G s2, it might not work on USA too.
