I'm about to buy a galaxy s2 with cdma bands from china, will I be able to use it back in the states on verizon?
it looks like it's from korea, anyone have any experience?
I don't think cdma is switchable.

How so? The bands are the same from what I can tell, it isn't the same as telling big v to change my phone? Do I need to root it for unlock or something?
Search up verizon phone on sprint. Youll find your answers there.

MetroPCS? Will this phone (specifically the GT-I9100) even work on their network? I thought they were a CDMA carrier?
EDIT: hold up. You say "about to get Galaxy S2 I9100 switched over to metro"... does this mean you already have the phone and are switching to Metro? Or did you order the phone and are waiting for it to arrive, and plan to switch to Metro?
Your profile says you are on T-Mobile USA. If you ALREADY have a Galaxy SII on T-Mobile, you probably have the SGH-T989.
If you DON'T already have a Galaxy SII, and you've ordered the GT-I9100, and want full use of 3g/"4g", you will HAVE to go to AT&T or H2O, or any other GSM carrier that may be regional to your area that uses the same frequencies as AT&T. Or, you could stick with T-Mobile, but your mobile data speeds will be limited to Edge.
MetroPCS uses completely different cellular transmission technology, and the GT-I9100 will not even pick up a signal on their network for voice, let alone data.
EDIT 2: For that matter, if you have the T-Mobile variant (SGH-T989), that one won't work on Metro either, for the same reason.
Well it's both I'm picking up the phone after work and I plan to get it flashed to Metro. I was told that the phone is the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I'm doing it for my girl who already has Metro. I have seen other user selling Galaxy S2 already on Metro so I know for a fact that they have the Web & MMS working, I just cant find it for myself! Thanks for the reply by the way!

Who ever told you "Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100" is wrong. There is no such thing.
The I9100 is the international model that operates on GSM.
If it's from Sprint, they meant the "SPH-D710", not "I9100".
You are better off asking in this forum. Someone there may have experience flashing a Sprint variant to Metro.
It's not very likely that anyone here in the I9100 forums is going to be able to help you, sorry.
I think he posted the wrong model>>>>> What Carrier has Galaxy S2 model I9100???? I think sprint model is Sphd710!
Thanks for the Help!!!!

If he said it's flashable to Metro, then yes, he got the model wrong.
NO carrier in the US carries the I9100. It is the international model. But like I said, it works on AT&T for voice and 3g/"4g" (which is what I'm using), and T-mobile USA for voice and Edge.
I got the Atrix for an awesome price but the thing is it wont work on 3G in Orange Dominicana GSM network so now my friends want Android Phones instead of there blackberrys but they wont leave Orange so i dont know which android phones are good for them. Can you Guys tell me some of the best value Android Phones that can get in 3G with Orange from Dom. Rep.
Around $200 Used on Ebay is the budget.

Did you try any T-Mobile US phones?
Hey! Found your question on Google, and I felt like I had to answer this.
Did you try any T-Mobile US phones? When I go to the Dominican every summer, I bring a T-Mobile phone and I get a 3G signal instantly, even when I'm in Mao Valverde, and as you know in El Cibao, the signal drops from 3G to GSM especially as you leave Santiago or any metro city. Yes I am using Orange Dominicana, I'm in the Dominican right now, I searched on ebay and found the HTC Sensation unlocked used for $155. If you search on the Orange site I found the Samsung Galaxy S2, this is a good phone too, sold on AT&T here in the States. I hope I helped you! P.S.- Lmaoo at your friends wanting to change from a blackberry to an Android device, my parents and my friends are doing the same either with Android or an iOS device.
Hey guys.
I'm Dominican and bought an ATT GS2 but 3g doesn't work on it.
Can you guys help me.
Don't know if I have to flash a new modem on it or what.
Return it! or go to Claro

It just wont work with Orange Over 3G because Orange provides data over the 900Mhz Band and the AT&T version does not support it.
Claro does support the 850Mhz which your phone runs perfectly so if you switch to Claro you'll get 3G. Also the Galaxy S2 i9100 Global Version (I Have it and it works even with Viva ) might be good for you maybe its too late for a return but who knows.

Dear XDA friends, I'm currently in the state, and using Galaxy S for Tmobile.
However, my mom coming to the state, and she says she will bring her Galaxy S2 for me cuz she recently changed to Note. So this would be an upgrade chance for me, and I love the design of international and Asian versions better than US version.
My question is, is it going to be possible to root, and flash one of the S2 roms that are in this site??? I'm aware i won't be able to use 3G speed, but if im lucky i would get new 1900mhz 3G though in SF. The phone is already country unlocked, but the reason why I'm trying to flash new rom is one of Korean wireless company developed their own messaging system on their S2 phones so because of that i won't be able to send text and mms.
If the interantional version and Korean version is the same, then sorry for my ignorance, but if they are different, can someone please give me help?
Thanks.
Hey all,
I recently moved to New Zealand from the United States. I have a Galaxy S6 edge with US Cellular (SM-G925R4) running 5.1.1. I was under the impression that I would be able to use my Galaxy S6 edge here because it is unlocked and because i'm under the impression that there's GSM Antennas in my device. Is this accurate? I took my phone to Vodaphone and Spark, and neither company was able to get it going, although all they did was place a SIM card in it. It just kept saying 'Searching for Service' and had no signal bars at all.
Does anyone know what I need to do to get my device working here?
Thanks in advance!
Alex
Bump! Guys I still really need help on this.
Bump again

Us cellular is a cd ma carrier. That is likely why it won't work in new Zealand.

Try Telecom. They are CDMA, Vodafone is GSM
