I just got an assignment for the UK, France, and Monaco for 2 months (London, Manchester, Paris, Lyon, Nice, Marseilles, Monaco), normally i work in Greece and use an unlocked HTC Kaiser/AT&T Tilt on Wave as the carrier, but now i have the Atrix which i would rather use there, so i gave my Tilt/Kaiser to my sister to use while she is in Greece this year.
I have unlocked my Atrix but dont want to walk into the wifi problems, can anyone confirm a hassle free GSM carrier for an unlocked AT&T Atrix 4G? I will be traveling all over the UK and France and hope to use it for email and map/route purposes.
If not i will just sell the Atrix and buy a phone there and wing it. im actually pretty disappointed in the whole unlocked/wifi thing.
thanks!
Hello,
i have test the atrix with orange and now with bouygues telecom, no problem.
You will not be affected by wifi bugs in those countries. The issues we have on unlocked atrixes arent in fact a byproduct of unlocking but rather of some countries being poorly supported in the driver, that said you should be fine with any carrier in those countries.

Has anybody used the Atrix in Europe? I am really interested if the Atrix works in Europe either with a AT&T sim and roaming or unlocked and with a European sim. There is a thread at the Motorola forum that says that there are problems with the Atrix in Europe.

it works, just ask at&t for what providers they have contracts with in each country. You can also check the bands. Most if not all of europe is GSM.
I am currently in europe now (UK), it definetly does not work. Although they claim it does.

I'm based in the UK and my Atrix 4G is working perfectly on Tesco Mobile. I had to unlock it and change the APN settings but that is relatively painless
Atrix in UK (NI)
Hi Folks, I have an Atrix bought from HongKong (origionally AT&T) and it works very well on the Orange network. I get the odd glitch, occasionally, when for no apparent reason the phone restarts,but that aside its one of the best smartphones I have ever had.(and i,ve had a few)
In France, works perfectly on Orange Network and Bouygues Telecom network too

Check this link.

It tells you all about Frequencies world wide.
Atrix has quadband radio which has all those 3G frequencies required in Europe. It should definitely work, check your apn settings.
Hi everyone,
i have one short question.
I'm currently living in the US for the next few months and my HTC Desire keeps on rebooting and HTC won't repair it in the US, because it's an german vodafone branded version.
Anyways, i need a new phone.
If I buy the SGSII here in the US, will I be able to use it in Germany aswell?
Because currently I cannot use 3G with my Desire (carrier is t-mobile), only EDGE. It would be a real bummer if I couldn't use the SGSII to it's full extend (meaning 3G etc.) in Germany.
Thanks for your answers!
Th unlocked Europe version is compatible with both Europe and US 3g radios.
ya well, but i want to buy it in the US and use it in europe. Not the other way round.
I think that's what he meant.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Could just buy Europe version online.

That's what I meant... Plus there are a stores in the US that will sell it.
gs2 unlocked version is quadband 3g 850, 900, 1900, 2100mhz. i'm assuming german is 900mhz. so you can use 3g in anywhere except tmobile usa (1700mhz).
Hi,
I am currently in taiwan, and I was just wondering if I bought a gs2 here, and unlocked it, would I be able to use Rogers with it? Im scared that after I buy it, that some functions won't work. Im a total nub at this so I tried to search things up, but nothing came up. Please help .

Really depends on the 3G bands it supports as different countries will have different versions of the SGS2. If it supports 3G 850mhz you're good to go.
its in chinese (which i can barely ready ) but it says something like HSPA 21 Mbps, does that represent the 3g or 4g
My phone is from the UK and i'm on fido from Canada. Everything works perfectly fine. I believe Rogers owns Fido too, so I would guess yes. Everything should work just fine.
my friend tells me because im buying it from taiwan, that it is automatically unlocked so i dont need to unlock myself, is that true?
I am using it right now with Rogers. No problem at all.

Hi I too have Motorola Atrix from At&t network unlocked currently using in o2-de. I have full 3g and 2g connectivity in Germany. And also I remember while travelling through Italy this summer had full 2g support there. So if the 3g services in Italy use the frequency band as in Germany u should be fine. But my guess is they are same and hence there should not be any problem.

I have att version in Sweden and broke screen. Found out that no euro companies will fix us version. Had to send back to us to get fixed. This can take well over a month. Just beware!

Running an att atrix 4g in Slovenia, as of the 2.3.4 update all works fine (on 2.2.2 wifi stopped working in conjunction with mobile signal - long story, but Slovenia specific), so ye you shouldnt have any issues. Regarding fixing the phone, apparently Motorola UK does it for att atrixes aswell.
Another one running fine in Spain and UK.
Regarding roms, you must keep in mind that your phone is still the ATT model, so whenever you must apply device-specific patches (radios, etc), choose the ATT one.
I got this phone in September, and since then I've been in 6 different European countries. Worked perfectly everywhere In Italy I got a TIM sim card, had hdspa on all the time. You'll be fine, it's an excellent phone, the best purchase you can make
Have you already considered the European Atrix sold on Expansys? I bought it there and am very happy with it. You get a phone that is (hopefully) designed for Europe and coming with a "Retail" System and radio. Works very well in Italy.
Hey guys.. I'm in Europe, Czech Republic right now and there is one good deal on Galaxy S3. The phone is factory unlocked.. I wonder, if its gonna work on my Canadian Telus, or Bell... Does anybody know how it works? Is it unlocked only for EU, or all world? I don't wanna have another problems like with my HTC Rezound, that works only on Rogers in Canada, even if I changed Custom ROM...
Thanks...
It's unlocked worldwide. You'll just have to make sure that it supports your carrier's frequencies (it probably does)
