I was wondering if it were possible to use my phone in China this summer. The network I would like to use (China Mobile) is using the GSM bands 900/1800. Is there any way to convert my phone to use those bands?
Thanks.
No. The radio/modem only works on the manufacturer specified frequencies.
Um. The i717 is quadband GSM and it supports 850/900/1800/1900 2g or GSM.
Of course it will work! But only on 2g and only if unlocked.

I see, I looked it up as well and it seems as though it supports the following bands:
2G Network GSM 850/1800/1900
3G Network HSDPA 850/900/1700/1900/2100
Hopefully I'll be able to just plug it in and go. I've networked unlocked my phone, but are there are any other limitations set by AT&T for usable bands?

All Sprint Worldphones are unlocked out of the box. So to answer your question.....Yes, you can use the Photon on non-US GSM networks.
Just insert your sim and talk away but i think it runs on 1900mhz or is it 1700mhz either way no 2100mhz band for 3g

hello, a question and I thank those who replied to me.
4g use the photon in Europe, setting network on GSM / UMTS, but when you restart the phone the setting is not saved.
because 'every time I do the setting.
A patch a program to solve the problem?
Simple question,
Does the German version SGSII, MPN GT-I9100LKAXEU work on ATT 850/2100 HSDPA network? Or for that matter all bands on HSDPA.
Thanks

Att hspa network is 850\1900, so if it has this bands then it will work.

Can anyone tell me for certain that this phone has the 850 band for HSDPA?
I cant find any definite tech specs that specify.

Hi
i want to buy an Tmob AMAZE 4G but i'v noticed that there are 2 types of AMAZE'S with different bands :
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_amaze_4g-4097.php
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 1700 / 2100
or
HSDPA 1700 / 1900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
in Israel im using the HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 bands how i'll know that the device is match the bands?
regards
just look at the place you are buying from they should mention it.. ebay seller should mention it and also stores
and if you are in cellcom you only need the 2100 band.
orange and cellcom use 3g 2100 band and pelephone use 850 band
im buying 2nd hand/...
When I was in Palestine, I used my phones and they all worked on Orange. I have my Amaze box in my hand. The T-Mobile Amaze has the 850/900/1800/1900/2100 frequencies. So it will work.

Hey, did you get the T-Mobile Amaze 4G and use it on the 850 band?
I have windmobile amaze 4g (same as Tmob works on aws) and I have used Sims from other carriers including 850 and works fine. Of course, my phone is unlocked.

Well it will certainly work to make calls, but the main issue is whether or not it will work on the 850 MHz band to use 3G and 4G. That's what I need clarified.
Looks like your question was answered. In the future, all question related threads belong in the Q&A section only. Thank You.

Hello. i was on GSMArena and came across this
I see it says HSDPA 1700 / 2100 / 1900 - for Telus but does that mean this phone has those frequencies? Cause i thought this was for the telus people?
Anyone? im a bit confused..
That is the supported frequencies and carriers around the world uses that.

So the i9100 supports the 1700 band? So if I unlocked it I could get 3g service from T-Mobile here in America?

Well, yes and no, but really no for what you're asking.
The i9100 does NOT support 1700mhz for UMTS, but does for voice. So as a result, it does NOT get 3g on T-mobile, since T-mobile in the US uses AWS for high speed packet data, which requires BOTH 1700 and 2100 for 3g/"4g".
I wouldn't trust that GSM Arena spec page.

Thank you so much im finally nt confused. lol. Thanks for the info!
Ok, so I had to sell my i9305 because of lack of any data connection above 2G/Edge on AT&T for my area due to frequencies that they use here.
How many people in the USA are using an unlocked international i9300 on AT&T and getting 3G+ data??
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Nobody in the US has an i9300?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
It works and you get hspa+
I'm on AT&T as well with the i9300 that I won from Engadget.com and it works just fine. H+ all the way for me as well.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the responses. I spent 700 beans on an i9305 to find out it didnt work. Just wanted to see if the i9300 worked. One more question, Do you guys have the LTE versions or the non-LTE?
Firstly, GT-I9300 supports 1900MHz for sure but 1900MHz WCDMA support on GT-I9305 is based on different region. For example your GT-I9305 has no 1900MHz 3G but the GT-I9305 sold in Hong Kong supports 1900MHz WCDMA.
Secondly, it is quite meaningless to buy LTE phone outside and use it in the US because only Bell and Rogers Wireless support LTE 2600MHz, you will not be able to use LTE network on AT&T.
You may use the any Korean LTE version(SHV-E210S/SHV-E210K/SHV-E210L) because the all supports 1900MHz WCDMA. Or otherwise, you may use the AT&T model of Galaxy S3.
I am using SHV-E210S, there is no SIM lock on the phone.

Thanks for the info, though I had an i9305 Hong Kong version and it did Not get 3G or 1900MHz, I could not even select it. I was hoping the 9300 would be different.
