Hi guys
I want to ask is it possible to change the at&t modem to a t-mobile modem so i can use 3g/4g on tmobile network if not just tell me im curious.
I saw this happen to the galaxy note and was wondering if it possible to do it on this phone.
thanks
Nope. It lacks the bands required for T-Mo frequencies.

hi i live in us and was wondering if the international galaxy s3 will work on att hspa+ with enhance backhaul?i just want to be sure before i buy.Att has hspa,hspa+,and hspa+ with enhanced backaul, will all 3 work on galaxy s3?
Yes it will work. I think there may be another question in there but without any puctuation its hard to tell.
Short and sweet:
Have $5.99 unlimited T-Zones. Want SGS III, and want to surf HSPA+ (on the down low, like I do currently with my int'l HTC Sensation)
TMO branded T999 out of the question ?
Any other sources for a T999 variant ( Canada maybe? ) with IMEI unknown to TMoUS ?
Can I get the ATT variant, root, install TMo modem like on the Galaxy Note?
Thanks for any help !!!
Bump for the new week - with another Q:
Does the carrier Wind Mobile in Canada use the same AWS spectrum as TMOUS? They have a SGSIII variant too...
Does anybody know if AT&T or T-Mobile 3G networks will work with my GS2 i9100? I'm going to be in USA for a few weeks and I'm not sure the phone is compatible with their frequencies.
thanks

Can I unlock an i9100 to USA Tmobile services? Do I need to install a custom room to make it work with Tmobile?
I look everywhere and can't find the answer. I only see different countries rom but no USA rom.
If the i9100 is unlock, shouldn't I just put a sim card and it connects to Tmobile? I did that, it didn't ask for any unlock code and doesn't connect to Tmobile.

As far as i know it will not work for Tmobile's network because they uses a 1700 MHz band frequency for 3G. The i9100 doesn't support this band
You can try unlocking your device and try? but i think you'll only be able to just make phone calls and with the internet your gonna end up getting EDGE speeds which is really slow.
If you had the chance to trade your i9100 for the Tmobiles variant i'd do it or sell that one you got and get the TMobiles version?

Yes, you can use it on t-mobile. However, depending on the area you live in, you may not get a 3G signal. You may only get EDGE speeds. T-Mobile primarily uses the 1700 mhz band for its 3G signal. They are however beginning to refarm some old 1900 mhz bands that currently are used for 2G data/voice and are converting it to 3G HSPA data. Check airportal.de to see if your area will have T-Mobile 1900 mhz HSPA coverage. Hope this helps.

There's nothing to unlock in an international version. It's already unlocked.

I have similar question, I'm going to US in the next month, I have i9100 and I'm wondering what mobile network will be the best for internet to me? Is there some network with similar bands as in Europe?
Hey guys,
I've spent 2 hours searching, but I can't find any clear or up-to-date information. I have a Verizon Wireless Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545 running VRUFNC5), and I will be switching from Verizon to T-Mobile. I've read that the VZW Galaxy S4 does not have the AWS 1700 band enabled, but then I've read that recent updates have enabled it. So, I'm confused.
Will my phone be able to access ALL T-Mobile bands (3G, 4G, 4G LTE, etc) to fully access T-Mobile's network?
If not, what bands will I be missing? Am I able to flash the radio or modify any settings to activate any particular bands?
Thanks everyone!
Randy
I don't know much about T-Mobile but the Verizon S4 has had the AWS 700mhz spectrum enabled since MJ7, which was our first 4.3 firmware.

So does that mean that this phone has ALL bands enabled that's needed for full T-Mobile service?
Can anyone verify? Thanks so much!
I am also wondering the same question. Running NC5 also and looking to use T-Mobile.
