i'm in thailand and my cousin will buy me this phone if it can be unlocked to use with gsm but i dunno it can use it or not
thanks and sorry for my bad english
Unfortunately the Rezound is not GSM compatible. I would suggest the Sensation XE as the closest alternative that is GSM capable.
This phone will work on a compatable cdma network but not on gsm network. Not a world phone.

I am really itching to get this phone, as my contract is going to be done within weeks. I know that the EU version wont support tmobile 4g. How about the Canadian version??? the bell/ virgin galaxy s II 4g. Would this version work tmo usa??
Check the bands. Google it. If they're the same then it will work. AT&T's 4G network will work with European and Canada's will also I believe.

that's the problem, I am new to this stuff and willing to learn. Let's start with what BAND is, and how do I check that BAND.
I am not 100% sure. But I believe that it well not work on T-Mobile USA 4G network. It uses different frequencies. If the SGS II ever comes out on Rogers then it will work on T-Mobile USA.

You are right. And once the merger goes through the T-Mobile 3 and 4g phones wont work on 3 or 4g. This was already stated by att and tmobile

By that time the Galaxy S III will come out lol. But I will definitely love the HSPA+ speeds on my SGS II.
If you really want it either:
1) Switch to AT&T, you will get 4G speeds
2) Wait for the Samsung Hercules to come out on T-Mobile (Should be this or next month)
In the end, all people who buy T-Mobile phones now will eventually suffer later on. ;D
Just seen an ad on TV for Galaxy S II 4G? (In Australia)
sent from my Motorola XOOM using XDA Premium HD
it depends which version of SGS2? so far that i know the international i9100 isnt capable of receiving 4G... and so far that i know (might be wrong) the only SGS2 version that is capable of it is: Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch... which is SPH-D710
I think the 4G is only compatible with the Telstra network.
What you mean?
4g=HSPA+
LTE is different....

Telstra are in the process of rolling out an LTE network.
Edit to add - As Victor said, only really useful on their network ATM. Voda/Optus to begin LTE rollout 'later this year' (apparently).
Further edit to add - Plus there will probably be about as much custom firmware for it as the I9100G (at best).

HSPA+ is evolved HSPA which isnt TRUE 4G... its more like 3.5G
LTE is true 4G..

Wrong 4G and LTE are totally different. New iPad only works with LTE variant of 4G which we don't have in OZ. We already have 3.5g and that is HSPA+.

Here is my issue. I am currently in the US. I might teach ESL overseas in Korea in January. I am not sure which phone to get. Will the USA one work over in Korea? Will thew international one work in the US?
It could work but Sprint has the radios locked.
Would developers be able to get them unlocked?
Buy international set

They propably can but the intl one supports more radio frequensies and is assembled to work worldwide so I'd buy it in any case rather than us version.

The international one works in the US flawless... just not on all carriers... it works the best on AT&T if you want to use it in the US and get 4G(HSPA+)
You can use it on T-Mobile but you will have to settle for EDGE(2G)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
It would work on most carriers which uses the international frequencies.
Not just AT&T for US. Works with Rogers, Fido, Telus, and Bell Mobility in Canada for instance.

Just a side note, HSPA+ is not 4G. It's still 3G. LTE/WiMax is 4G.
so which companies will it work with 4g/lte? Will it not work with Sprint? Anyone know any deals for the international version?
Sprint (and Verizon) is on an old CDMA network while the majority of the world is on GSM, you know, operating with a SIM card. If you're set on travelling, it's better to get any of the GSM-variant, that way, you can just pop in any sim card from any major carriers all over the world.
I currently have a photon which has a sim card slot in it. So the Galaxy s international wont work on Sprint? Damn I want to keep my SERO plan lol. So where can I get an international verison from? Also would I have to pay full price for it?
Does the photon has an active sim card in it? I'm assuming no. I've never used a dual-mode phone before (nor am I familiar with how they operate on different networks), so I dont know the ins-and-outs on how to get it activate for a GSM carrier.
Damn, now i have a headache just trying to figure out how it works to have an intl GSM phone on a network that is predominantly CDMA whom happens to offer a dual-mode phone on their network
Call sprint problem solved

In 2010 the International Telecommunications Union redefined 4G to include HSPA+.

The SIM in the Photon is just for roaming. Sprint does not use SIM cards - even their LTE phones have them embedded rather than user-accessible.
As the Sprint Galaxy S III is not a 'global' phone - i.e. does not have both GSM/UMTS and CDMA radios - do not purchase it if you have any intention of using it outside the US. CDMA is no longer a global technology.
Confuses me a little that people spend so much on devices without checking what networks they support. Ho-hum.

if a nexus s3 puchased from verizon is purchased
then sim unlocked for use with tmobile
are the radios compatible with tmobiles 4g network speeds?
or is it a similar problem with the network only allowing edge similar to the iphone4s factory unlocked....

Won't work.
CDMA vs GSM.
Wait, what?? A nexus s3?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
i meant a galaxy s3
sorry about that ... but really it wont work?
Nope. Not unless the Verizon one has GSM radios inside.
Why don't you just get a tmo or at&t one or buy one straight up?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Hehe. Even if (hypothetically) it has a GSM radio in it,
and hasn't got a SIM slot....
I would highly appreciated if any one can help me with this, I have an HTC Amaze 4G on US T-mobile, and I would like to get the samsung galaxy s3 but the international version the (I9300) with the quad core. My question is would I be able to use it on t-mobile network with no issues especially on there 4G speed?

No, it wont work with Tmobiles HSPA, I think Tmo is changing their HSPA to 1900 next year so that would of been a different story, but for the moment its just not worth it.
Thank you very much....that's very disappointing....
