[Q] Sgs3 from USA work in Europe? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, my friend from east europe looking for galaxy s3,somehow he found that the best deal is to buy one from USA. My question is: will gs3 bought in USA work in europe?
Sorry for my eastern euroean Eng:laugh:

As long as its gsm and NOT CDMA. CDMA is unsupported in Europe and I know that Verizon and sprint are CDMA networks, he's best off buying an AT&T as their gsm then it will work no problem

A few questions

1. Will a British Ace work in Canada?
2. If so, what's the cheapest, safest, easiest way to network unlock it?
I have the british ace and the 3g bands are NOT compatible with rogers or fido. The only gsm providers with 3g on the SGA bands are wind and mobilcity. Works great in toronto. I bought mine unlocked so can't help you there.

IMHO. reflash with ROM suitable with your area may solve the problem... just guessing

Wrong guess, the phone may not be using the bands in the region.

Is the DNA usable internationally?

Hey guys i live in india and ive been following the DNA and J butterfly news very closely. Ive read that the DNA has GSM capabilities on international networks. It pains me that htc hasn't released an international variant and would like to know if ..... well i can use the phone in india. Im using the one x right now but would love a true HD 5 inch behemoth as my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A video was just released on YouTube showing the DNA running on att hspa. So I would assume it will work just about anywhere unless if verizon releases a patch to stop it from working on att.

Hello,
Has anyone tried it overseas yet?
Will this operate in the UK on our GSM networks?

I bought this phone at eBay and I've been using it all around Latin America with no issues so far, I've used it in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Peru with a different sim card and operator for each country. Everything works perfectly Hsdpa data, messaging and phone calls, please have in account in Latin America the frequencies are the same as US at&t ones.

This phone should work in the UK someone else mentioned using it there in another thread with no issues.

Thanks all for that confirmation.
All you have to do is check the band frequencies to make sure that your operator supports the ones that the Dna uses for gsm

[Q] Unlock at&t Optimus G to use on international gsm networks

Hi guys,
I live in Vietnam, but do love Optimus G and intend to buy an at&t model. So, I wonder if I can contact via email with at&t to get my unlock code (I will buy one from Amazon and have it shipped to Vietnam). Is it possible, for free or with some extral fee?
I also found some sites that give unlock code for about ten bucks or even for free, but's I'm still confused if that at&t will work normally as an international version on Asia's GSM netwoks or not.
Could you guys confirm or give me suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

From AT&T's site the phone works on GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (link)
According to a couple of sites, Vietnam has both 900 and 1800 bands available...

[Q] Need help deciding which one to get

I am still deciding whether I should buy ATT version or T-mobile version but I can not tell how these are different.
Can you guys enlighten me? Can I unlock T-mobile version and use it on ATT 4G as well as LTE? Flashing ROMs based on stocks from both carriers work ok on both of these phones? I have not had HTC since HD2. Thank in advance.

The TMO version will get full speed on both ATT and TMO. The ATT version will not get TMO specific AWS (high speed 4G). However the ATT is available with 64 gb of storage.
I would get the TMO version and unlock it - TMO will do it if you pay full price up front.
