Anyone knows the specific network bands for the SGT LTE? For both the 4G/3G bands?
According to the Verzion website, it only states 4G and 3G/EVDO Rev A:

Was just wondering if it would work out of the US.
Quite a raving review for the it by Engadget...

My best guess is it will not work outside the US. Even in the US it will only work on the Verizon network, Carries in the US use different bands (CDMA and GSM) and different frequencies. Do a search for CDMA and GSM. Pretty sure Verizon use the CDMA band.
I am sure a Verizon customer can confirm this for us.
^LTE is based on GSM, and uses a simcard. Verizon's is a microsim. I believe their LTE runs on 700MHz. I suppose if you found a carrier that runs on that band overseas, it's theoretically possible.
It's not just the frequency spectrum that's different. CDMA and GPRS (GSM) can run on the same frequencies. It's the switching technology between the two that's the killer.
The Tab on Verizon also supports EVDO revisions A and B I believe, but that still doesn't mean it will work over-seas.
Generally speaking, other countries use GSM technology on any of four frequencies. The Verizon Tab is not GSM, and also does not support any of the four frequencies. I'd say it's definitely not possible for use internationally.

As posted on the XDA portal and several other sites, the Galaxy Note (ATT) can be modded to run on T-Mobile's 4G network.
I am trying to find out what other phones can do this, preferably out of the box, whether they are ATT branded or international GSM. I have seen listings on ebay that sell Galaxy Nexus GSM versions with claims of working on 4G network but I havent seen this confirmed anywhere.
What do I need to look for in a phone's specs regarding GSm and UMTS frequencies that will tell me if the phone can run on T-Mobile's 3G or 4G network?
I use phonearena as a source for phone specs and according to wikipedia, 1700 and 1900 but plenty of phones have those frequencies so the answer cant be that simple, can it?
I know the Jetstream was designed to be run on AT&T and Rogers, but I am curious if it is possible to flash a radio to enable usage of T-Mobile's HSPA network, much like the Samsung Galaxy Note has been enabled to, as seen here.
Can any of the amazing Devs out there shed some light on this?

jdavis08, Simple answer is yes. It is a standard 2G / 3G / LTE (AT&T / AWS band) phone. So you can use it on ANY 2G / 3G / LTE network with a SIM. But you may need to break the SIM Lock on any handset.
Just wanted to clarify. The Jetstream is 2G/3G/LTE /capable, 2G (GSM): 850/900/1800/1900MHz, 3G (UMTS/HSPA): 850/1900/2100, and LTE: 700mhz & AWS-1700/2100.
Currently, T-Mobile only uses the AWS for their HSPA+ network, not LTE (from what I understand, AWS will be transitioned for LTE and 1900mhz refarmed for 3G/4G early 2013) - and if I'm not mistaken, the HSPA+ is only supported by the "3G" band of this device, not the "LTE"
So - to make a long story short. I am a T-Mobile subscriber with various "4G" phones from T-Mobile. Their 4G only works if the phone has a radio with AWS for HSPA as T-Mobile (unlike AT&T) does not use the 1900mhz for their HSPA (yet). I own this tablet.. It has been SIM unlocked and it simply does not get anything above EDGE... and I live near and visit major cities in Washington State, Seattle/Bellevue/Tacoma, which definitely have TMo's 4G coverage.
I know I should just cool my jets until TMo rolls out the network upgrades, as I have no interest in joining AT&T. I was just curious if there was some way to "trick" the phone to use the AWS frequencies for HSPA, like the Galaxy Note has been made to do as the radio specs are identical.
I know that the Note was enabled to do this by flashing another radio. Support is minimal for the Jetstream these days... so I was just reaching out.
Thanks guys
Hi guys,
I have an international S3 i9300 unlocked. Ill be moving to NYC for training for 4 months, would this be okay on AT&T network (will use AT&T sim and not my local simcard then roaming)?
im guessing this phone is quad band as well... LTE is not that important for me as i just download files sent to me thru email and im sure there will be WIFI in the office. My concern would generally be mobile signal and if it would be easy for me to get it
search for the frequencies AT&T uses, and compare to the supported frequencies of the i9300
Should be fine up to 3G:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_Mobility#Radio_frequency_summary
Although, they have 2 freq's for 3G so it depends how they split that....
Because see our bands for 3G:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9300_galaxy_s_iii-4238.php
We only support 1900 MHz where as AT&T does 850MHz and 1900MHz. You may need advise from an AT&T user as to what that split actually means.
If it's geographical for example, you may be in an 850 area, meaning teh best you every get is EDGE
Well, being a T-Mobile customer (and preferring to stay one) I was interested in the fact that the new S4 Google Play edition seems to support the Verizon 700mhz LTE frequencies but is sold as an AT&T and T-Mobile device only.
NETWORK
Unlocked GSM/UMTS/HSPA+/LTE
GSM/EDGE/GPRS (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
3G (850, 1900, 2100 MHz)
4G LTE (700, 850, AWS, 1900 MHz)
So does this purport that the device is able to roam on Verizion's 4G LTE data network when there is no AT&T or T-Mobile network present?
Interesting. I'll be doing some research.

It'd only be viable if there is a CDMA radio hidden somewhere in there as well. Otherwise you would have no voice service.

Verizon announced today that in 2014 there will be available LTE-only phones... phones sold with LTE and no CDMA radios as they have finished their LTE rollout nationwide. They also said they will flip on a switch to enable VoLTE ... Voice over LTE around the same time.
However, I really don't care about voice service, I just want Verizon LTE data roaming in all areas of the country where T-Mobile customers are seemingly in a blackhole datawise with 0G connections
Could you imagine the money to be made if a phone covered every network and frequency band? Somebody needs to do this lol

You cannot in anyway use Verizon 3g or 4g unless your devices imei is in their database regardless if it supports the frequencies . also there are sub divisions of the 700mhz band. Both att and Verizon have divisions in the 700mhz band
It does not support Verizon LTE. There are multiple blocks within the 700mhz spectrum, and they are NOT compatible. Verizon uses the 700mhz C-block, which is closer to 750mhz. It's actually 746-756 and 777-787.
AT&T uses the 700mhz B-block. This is 704-716, and 734-746. They are NOT compatible with each other. Phones have to be designed to either support B-block or C-block. There are no devices out currently that can support both as the carriers have a block between them. Qualcomm is lobbying congress to end that block, though this lobby may be pointless. Verizon is currently looking to sell their 700mhz block to AT&T. This would allow AT&T more room in the 700mhz band with the block removed, while Verizon would get more AWS spectrum support (dual down/uplingh for faster speeds). It would also allow Verizon to shed the provision that requires them to allow an unlocked device on their network (something that they hate).
Bottom line is that no, this phone is not compatible with Verizon LTE.

Verizon uses Band 13 and Band 4 for LTE while ATT uses Band 17 and Tmo uses Band 4 and Sprint uses Band 25 so All of the Carriers uses different bands. Eventually most of them will use Band 4 AWS.
The Nexus 4 can use LTE on hacked ROMs on Band 4 AWS
Hey.
Please tell me if Galaxy Alpha G850f will work normally in the USA?
All I know is that there are different frequencies in the USA and Europe. Do my european model G850F support both of it?
From the spec I saw, you may get 3G on AT&T. Not so much on T-Mobile because the lack of 1700MHz band support that is still in use by T-Mobile 3G in many places. The LTE bands are probably not going to work. Of course, CDMA carriers like Verizon and Sprint will never work. So, you are guaranteed to have 2G data (which is like dial-up modem speed) if you choose a GSM carrier. Everything else depends.
I had 85of on att it is very fast hspa plus. No lte
