I have an unlocked vibrant with 3G blocked by my retailer, and the phone is working on att's 2G network. I want to lagfix my phone(upgraded to froyo) but I worry that if I root/flash kernel/ODIN/clockwork would void the 3G block and being forced to join 3G plan.
So I wonder if there is anyway I can tell how it is blocked.

Alright..I'm running an unlocked Bell Atrix on the Telus network..and was recently down in San Diego where I purchased a Tmobile SIM card for use while I was down there (and so I could Hotspot and have the wife boost off my wifi for her phone).
When I attempted to do this however I got a notice that I had to enable this thru my AT&T provider. Obviously it was a Tmobile sim card using tmobiles APN..so I'm not sure why it was prompting me to contact AT&T. Does anyone know a way I can get around this for the next time I'm down in the US? I'll be going to Hawaii in Sept and really want to be able to tether so all my Canadian companions can boost off me..
you'd only get 2G off t-mobile
maybe try getting an ATT sim card?
rebellus run their 3G off the same 850/1900 frequency as ATT
regardless, t-mobile's data apn probably didn't get added. try adding them next time.

I had data..and I'm not sure if it was 3g or 2g but it was quick enough that I didn't notice any difference. The problem is at&t doesn't sell prepaid sims with data..that's why I went with tmobile. I had the apn's configured appropriately otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get any data..which I was. I just wasn't able to tether..
Any who currently have this phone with Tmobile USA can confirm to me if it gonna working on their network. As far I knew this phone, it definitely not support the 3G/4G bands from TMO USA, but what if roaming and spectrum agreement with AT&T go through FCC, will I be able to use call with TMO and use 3G service of AT&T if possible?
My hometown has terrible Tmo reception and only Edge data speeds. Is there a way to force the phone to register ATT when Tmo is weak? And is it possible to register with data other than ATT Edge, I know LTE is available there. Tmo has free roaming to ATT but is the speed restricted on the device or at the tower? Can a custom APN workaround the speed problem?
As far as I know, you only get 100mb of roaming data. That's all I got anyways, I have unlimited everything as well.
To answer your question, I have no idea.

Hi, I'm new here.
I own Universal Unlocked Samsung S10 Model # SM-G973U1 purchased directly from Samsung. I originally activated it on the Boost Mobile network and Ive decided to switch to AT&T prepaid service. I find out that the SM-G973U1 apparently wont utilize the AT&T Wifi Calling (Per: AT&T Forum). I was informed I'd need the SM-G973U.
I'm also not sure if I'm even getting the 4g connection (My phone shows LTE, LTE+, H, H+ and no connection).
I believe I have bad cell reception in my house.
If I were to install the SM-G973U firmware onto my SM-G973U1, would this solve my problem?
Will my phone still be an Universal unlocked phone?
If I choose to switch back to the SM-G973U1 firmware should I be OK?
Would I need to do the same if I were to switch to T-Mobile?
Would I be better off switching to T-Mobile?
Any other thoughts about this topic I should be aware of?
Thank you for your time.

Is there any way to get past this annoying "feature" by ATT? I'm current on Red Pocket Mobile and ATT has the V60 blocked for Wifi Calling on their network.
