I'm going to assume this is the same variant at AT&T in the US, I know the frequencies for 3g and LTE are the same in most other phones...

Hi guys!
New to the forum. I'm about to purchase a Samsung Galaxy S2 in Hong Kong.
I was wondering if this phone will work on AT&T's network, namely their 3G and their 4G frequency. It'll be quite pointless to get this phone if I couldn't utilize it's speed.
Thanks!
I've read that the AT&T version of the SGSII (Skyrocket) and Galaxy Note can be flashed with the Tmo SGSII modem and work. Does anyone know if this can be done on the international SGSII (GT-I9100)?
I have this, and was on AT&T, but now on T-Mobile. I still love this phone and want to use it on Tmo on their HSPA+ network.
I've searched, and nothing has come up. I wonder how much hardware parts these variants share with the "original".
Probably a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 vs Exynos thing....

No. The GT-I9100 physically lacks the capability to receive one of the two necessary bands for AWS to receive high speed data on T-mobile USA's network.
The reason it works with the Skyrocket and the Note is because those two phones DO have the capability to receive both bands for AWS. (1700 and 2100 mhz UMTS)
would i get 3g or 4g on a unlock samsung galaxys2 i9100 using a tmobile sim??
US or UK?
You get Edge speeds with US tmobile. (a lot slower than 3G)
i have us tmobile, anything i can do to get better frequency
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...
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini (I8190). The version i have supports HSPA 900/1900/2100 Mhz.
However, in Jamaica the 3g/4g frequency is 850MHz.
How can I modify this device to access the 3g/4g out here in Jamaica?
Please help...
