There is not even proof that actually works.......... IF it does then it may give you access to ATT Nerwork when roaming
I was asking what its suppose to do.. not if it works

3G and Tmobile

Is it possible to use my X10 and get 3g? Anyone doing so now? Thanks!

You dont get 3g to begin with? Its all a matter of where you are in the US if your not getting 3g.
Currently I have AT&T and I an looking to switch providers, was going to keep the X10 of I could since I rooted and flashed it. The only UMTS/HSPA bands I see they share in common are 850 & 2100.

Yeah they do use different 3g signals. You'll have to ask T-Mobile honestly. I'm sure if you just put a T-Mobile sim card in there you'll be fine though

I've heard Tmobile and ATT use different 3g bands.
Also, you need to make sure your X10 is not sim locked to use it on Tmobile.

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?

If you're planning on using Simple Mobile, then you don't want the GT-I9300 or the SGH-I747. You want the SGH-T999. You'll be stuck with a combination of EDGE and/or no data service if you put an I9300 or I747 on Simple Mobile. An unlocked T999 would be your best bet. The T999 is already configured to access Simple Mobile's 3G/4G network. The I9300 and I747 are not. Hop on over to the T999 forum and check on some prices.

A dumb question. If I decide to get GT-I9300 mean I can't get 3G/4G speed with Simple mobile service right?
When I look at the SGH-t999 spec indicate "No" 4G LTE and have Adreno 225 GPU rather than Mali-400MP.
I felt that GT-I9300 is slight better. So is there a way to get around it?

The T999 is capable of 4G HSPA+, not 4G LTE. As for the T999's GPU, the Snapdragon S4 has more than enough kick to give you what you're after. Plus, you'll be getting an extra GB of RAM and 4G data. If Simple Mobile is what you want, get the T999... that's what the T999 was designed for.
On the other hand, you could get the I9300, which is slightly faster. However, you'll be stuck with half the RAM and 2G EDGE data only. The I9300 was designed with standard global GSM/HSPA+ networks in mind (like AT&T's); not AWS GSM/HSPA+ networks (like Simple Mobile's).
It's a square peg/round hole situation. The T999 is the peg you need... and it doesn't even have to be unlocked to work on Simple Mobile.

Hi sorry to bother you again,
GT-I9300 support 2100 Mhz band. Isn't T-Mobile have 3G/4G on 1700, 1900, 2100 Mhz band? Or I am wrong again?

Yes, you're wrong again. The I9300 supports 2100MHz. However, T-Mobile's/Simple Mobile's 3G/4G network doesn't use 2100MHz; it uses 1700/2100MHz AWS. It's a huuuge difference!
You want the T999; not the I9300. If you want to use another carrier, then maybe the I9300 would be appropriate... but not on Simple Mobile.
