S9/9+ Unlocked will not have band 71 for T-Mobile - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

I read conflicting answers on best buy versus frequency check so I called Samsung and was told it's not.
Here are the bands if you care"
B1 2100 B2 1900 PCS B3 1800+ B4 1700/2100 AWS 1 B5 850 B7 2600 B8 900 B12 700 AC B13 700 C B17 700 BC B18 800 LOWER B19 800 UPPER B20 800 DD B25 1900 + B26 850 + B28 700 APT B32 1500 L BAND B38 TD 1900 + B40 TD 2300 B41 TD 2500 B42 TD 3500 B66 1700/2100

Is this for SM-G960F? What's the implication of it not having band 71? Coverage/speed issues?

What is going on, so confused. I also contacted Samsung about this twice just to make sure and both times, two different people have said band 71 is supported by the unlocked US version.

This is the SM-G965U. It's for T-Mobile's rollout of the 600mhz service though at this point is on available in certain areas.
Found this map to show the areas.

We are hoping they wouldn't make different hardware and somehow you can can unlock it by flashing T-mobile firmware but according to Best Buy's site and Samsung support it's not there.

Does "Unlocked US version" only mean carrier unlocked or does it also have unlockable bootloader?

Just carrier unlocked but sometimes that means it can be easier to root.

It's there according to techwalls

coming from a s7 edge and s7 family, the tmo bloat isn't that bad. I do want the band coverage for lte 71. but would the updates for the unlocked version be rolled out quicker?

G960U and G965U both have Band 71 support.
This isn't the first time customer support reps have gotten something wrong.

I believe so. Rather than updates having to pass through Samsung and T-Mobile development teams, you would only have to wait on Samsung. Of course faster is relative and Samsung alone may take forever with updates already vs. Another phone maker.

If i'm not mistaken, 71 is an LTE band. I'm not on t-mobile so I'm not 100% on this.

Decided to peruse the FCC docs for the Galaxy S9, located here: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...id=iZpmwirNeCdRpxZDqp7ksg==&fcc_id=A3LSMG960U
Specifically the "HAC Key Feature letter" doc, if I'm reading/understanding it correctly, both the SM-G960U and SM-G960U1 (unlocked model if they're following the same model number scheme as last year) will support Band 71 LTE.
I guess direct linking to the doc is not allowed, but you can open it from the link above.

Well, after reading the thread I decided to contact Samsung support, again, to see what they might say today. I contacted live chat support again and this is what they sent me. The bands supported by the Galaxy s 9 unlocked variant.

*** You Said..." if it doesn't have band 71 I will send it back." So just how would you know if the device has that band is is capable of utilizing it?? Please explain??

Well I hate to say this but if my Uncle had breasts he'd be my Aunt. I have had quite a few conversations via Twitter and in chat sessions with Sammy Tech reps and at this point I would say to you that they don't know wether to scratch their watch or wind their asses.
I have gotten no less than 6 different answers from them and sent a complaint up the line to Senior staff who might shed some light on all the different responses that keep getting disseminated to the public.

The unlocked Galaxy s 9, us version, does support band 71. I am using the unlocked version.

Assuming it supports band 71 doesn't mean band 71 is enabled in the modem. two different things!

So that being said and "If the device has Band 71" how can we test if the modem software is in the device?

BUY Oneplus 2 $459 64 GB from Oppomart - Works Tmobile LTE

After seeing it one oppomart for 459, i found 3 listings on ebay for $435 16 GB or $459 64 GB from oppomart that ship from china. i just ordered mine. I also chatted with tmobile, and they said the phone will support tmobile lte and hspa+ bands.
16 GB:
Mod edit: Links Removed
64 GB:
Yeah, just realized that. I canceled it and reorder from oppomart for $459 for the 64 GB black edition
Ordered the 64 GB from oppomart with a glass protector. shipping was $30 for 7 days, so total with everything was $496!
U do know there 16gb and only 3gb ram
Yeah, just realized that. I canceled it and reorder from oppomart for $459 for the 64 GB black edition
Yup I ordered mine yesterday
Comes with crappy Hydrogen OS though, doesn't it? You might end up waiting weeks or even months before someone gets a US OnePlus 2 and creates a flashable Oxygen ROM from it, so why not just wait to get an invite and save some money in the process?

yeah it won't work on T-Mobile LTE, their bands are 4 and 12, the oppo opt LTE bands are 1,3,7 (china version.
there seems to be a USA version of opt which supports bands: 1/2/4/5/7/8/12/17
There seems to be 3 versions (that I have seen so far), China, USA, and rest of world.
however it still needs to be confirmed if the hardware is the same between all versions, like the opo and just needs a utility to unlock additional bands.
Problem solved!!! I got this official answer from OppoMart suppport team:
"hello,
yes, the phone from us comes with oxygen os 2.0 and google play store installed,
and support GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz , WCDMA: Bands: 850/900/1900/2100MHz,
LTE FDD: Bands: 2100/1800/2600MHz., which can be used in your country.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any question.

So here you have it. This is an intenational device like the one sold in Europe and the USA.

NO it is not the international version, it is the china version. Which only supports three FDD LTE bands 1,3,7
Band 1: 2100MHz
Band 3: 1800MHz
Band 7: 2600MHz
That's just a china version with Oxygen OS installed. You will still not be able to use it on LTE in USA.
My guess is they get china versions, open them up and install Oxygen OS and then sell them.
btw there is a difference between the version sold in USA and Europe as well.
I got better price for this product, pm me if you want to get it cheaper, with free shipping...thanks.

What I gather is that even the Global OP2 does not support 4G in the USA on the major networks which mainly use band 2,4,12/17 (AT&T/TM)
OnePlus 2 Europe/Asia model supports the list of FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE bands:
1 (2100 MHz)
3 (1800 MHz)
5 (850 MHz)
7 (2600 MHz)
8 (900 MHz)
20 (800 MHz)
38 (TD 2600 MHz)
39 (TD 1900 MHz)
40 (TD 2300 MHz)
41 (TD 2500 MHz)
OnePlus 2 North American model supports the list of FDD-LTE bands:
1 (2100 MHz)
2 (1900 MHz)
4 (1700 MHz AWS)
5 (850 MHz)
7 (2600 MHz)
8 (900 MHz)
12 / 17 (700 MHz)
Hopefully they all are hardware identical and a sodtware fix can unlock all bands

kudos for finding the time to put list up all the different supported bands. hopefully its the same situation as the OPO and we can unlock the other bands.
We went through this last year with oneplus putting people off buying a Chinese version, all sorts of discussions went on about separate hardware on different production lines, in the end the only difference was the rom and cyanogenmod logo.
I ordered mine from China last year and its still going great , and i´ve just ordered my two from oppmart.

Alpha 850M vs 850F?

Hey everyone, noob here. I have an 850M on the way. I chose that over the A based on all the info posted on several threads. I was a bit concerned that the M wouldn't have all the necessary LTE bands for TMobile, however there was one thread here that clarified any doubts. After ordering the M, I saw that the 850F is available in aqua blue, very cool! It's a unique color I've never seen on any other smartphone. I really want the blue color instead of the gold version of the 850M that I ordered. I searched extensively, but can't find any definitive answer on the 850F. Some say the F is missing the 1700/2100 bands, others say it's present and works with Tmobile just fine.
Has anyone used the 850F on Tmobile, if so how are the LTE speeds? In my area, Tmobile LTE speeds are blazing fast. I consistently get 25-35 mb on an old LG G2, off peak hours I can get as high as 50-60 mb. I want to get the 850F in blue but not if it can't be LTE compatible. Any feedback or comments would be appreciated!
The Samsung support page for G850F says:
GSM (2G)
DCS 1800 MHz, PCS 1900 MHz, GSM 850 MHz, GSM 900 MHz
UMTS (3G)
B5 (850), B2 (1900), B1 (2100), B8 (900)
4G FDD LTE
B5 (850), B2 (1900), B7 (2600), B8 (900), B20 (800), B3 (1800), B1 (2100)
That's all I can say...I use it in germany...

It's so difficult to get accurate (and consistent) info, so thanks for your efforts to update the compatibility listing. For example, I read elsewhere that the 870DS supported LTE 17 and 2 but not 5. But just above, Adrift98 reports the opposite. Makes it difficult to pick up an AT&T compatible G6 with 64 GB storage. So it makes me want to skip the G6 altogether.
Band 17 is the main LTE band for AT&T, so I am sure it is compatible. At least, I hope so.

Band 12 covers band 17. That's why newer AT&T phones list band 12 instead of band 17.
I'm on AT&T (Cricket to be specific) here in Ohio, and I do not get band 17 (or any LTE for that matter) on the H870DS. Confirmed with LTE Discovery, and tested with a phone that does get LTE. I've only seen LTE briefly on the H870DS in a large town, and that was likely band 5. Lack of LTE on AT&T for the H870DS was also confirmed by another user living in California.
I've been researching 3 models. All the info I have is directly from LG's website. I really wanted to go with the H870DS to have 64GB and Dual Sim slots but it's missing LTE bands 2 and 66 which T-Mobile does use in some places. US997 is missing 66 so I'm just going to go with T-Mobile's version. Any idea why the T-Mobile version is the only one to list the bands separately as "roaming bands"? Hopefully it'll still function fine if I choose to use it elsewhere.
H872 T-Mobile
GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Mate 10/Pro compatibility with U.S. carriers?

Has anyone tried Mate 10 or 10 Pro within the US and see if they are compatible with the major carriers: AT&T, T-mobile, Verizon, Sprint...
At the moment willmyphonework dot com doesn't list Mate 10 on their website so I couldn't check that.
Try this one https://www.frequencycheck.com
If you check the above link you can see that it has all att bands?
This is Mate 10 bands
2G bands
850 / 900 (E-GSM) / 1800 (DCS) / 1900 (PCS) - SIM 1 & SIM 2
3G bands
B1 (2100) / B2 (1900 PCS) / B4 (1700/2100 AWS 1) / B5 (850) / B6 (850 Japan) / B8 (900 GSM) / B19 (800 Japan) / B34 (TD 2000) / B39 (TD 1900 +)
4G bands
B1 (2100) / B2 (1900 PCS) / B3 (1800 +) / B4 (1700/2100 AWS 1) / B5 (850) / B6 (UMTS Only) / B7 (2600) / B8 (900) / B9 (1800) / B12 (700 ac) / B17 (700 bc) / B18 (800 Lower) / B19 (800 Upper) / B20 (800 DD) / B26 (850 +) / B28 (700 APT) / B34 (TD 2000) / B38 (TD 2600) / B39 (TD 1900 +) / B40 (TD 2300)
This is the question I'm waiting on an answer for. There is a good chance the Mate 10 will not make it to the US, just the Mate 10 Pro, which indo not want.
The Mate 10 looks like it supports most of the bands but I need to be sure before dropping the coin.

Mate 10 series release has not been announced for US, Canada and even Latin America. So if you aren't in a hurry, maybe its better to wait for the offical release. And if Mate 10 standard does not release in US, you could get it imported via Latin America ?

I bought one $703 on ebay L29 modelis what you need it supports all AT&T BANDS, can't believe I ordered we'd night around 11pm and got the phone Friday 3:20pm, buy mocha on its the best.
Supposedly the Mate 10 Pro will come to AT&T. Presumably this means that it will support E911, which I believe is required for Wi-Fi calling. My interest is in using this on T-Mobile with Wi-Fi calling working. Any thoughts on whether this will be possible?
Got the porsche design to work on verizon, but not phone call or text messages yet. Its a international dual sim version.
There is mate 10 pro unlocked version for usa, bla a09 and i am using it and it works on at&t
Using mate 10 pro (came form Singapore) in the US on AT&T since launch - works great.
mate 10 pro international version. usa using tmobile, so far so good.
Hello,
i have the following question : In the Quickstartguide(German) for the Mate 10 Pro (Bla-L29) are the following LTE Bands listed :
LTE Band 1/3/7/8/20/28/34/38/40
On the German Web Page are listed :
4G LTE TDD: B38/B39/B40
4G LTE FDD: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5 (roaming)/B6/B7/B8/B9/B12/B17/B18/B19/B20/B26/B28/B29
Is the Quickstartguide wrong ?
Are there different international Models of the BLA-L29 ??????
does the Mate 10 Pro bought in Germany has other LTE Bands than a 10 Mate Pro bought in the US ?
i´m a bit confused
Will T-Mobile works fine ?
Thank you.
S.Neumann

How did you get the SM-G973F/DS in USA?! I'm in the same boat, but thought they were internationally region locked, did you have someone make a call in the country you got it from to work properly? Where did you buy it from?

Its the F variant right? In his posting it states:
Chipset Exynos 9820 Octa (8 nm) - EMEA
Qualcomm SDM855 Snapdragon 855 (7 nm) - USA/LATAM, China
He did ship you the Exynos without region lock?

The SM-G975F/DS is factory unlocked but it looks like it has limited LTE bands to be used on US carriers w/o problems.

you're right, it should work on AT&T, only the LTE band 30 is missing here but it'll work and that's pretty much it if someone tries to use it on other carriers, like Tmo etc...

Haven't set up yet. Just waiting for case and rooting. Don't want to start over after root and format data.
Didn't even think about eBay, thanks for the tip @cline2. Just ordered a S10e exynos from another seller for $697. Paid for the next day shipping and should have it Thurs.
Got my S10e G970F/DS, in the US today, currently working well on Mint Mobile, excited for rooting!

Where do you see the LTE Band coverage? I've clicked on that link and there's no information on LTE Bands.. might be because I'm viewing it on mobile. Are you stating that the G975 F/DS does not support band 12/66 like every eBay seller claims it does?

Exynos 'N' has 12 , then all UK exynos models have 12 and 66 but aren't listed as F/DS but rather as "hybrid sim" F only, I guess that counts as a DS but isn't specified that way.

Damn, I'd be curious to see how this information was amassed.. either way, I'm hoping that the Exynos version that I'm getting is the UK version.. it's coming from a seller in Miami so I'm gonna say it's not lol - most likely from South East Asia.
