Nope, only EDGE due to the radio frequencies the HTC Rezound uses. Depending on your area, T-Mobile might not have updated their towers to work for 3G. 4G, or HSPA+ on the 1900MHz frequency. You can check http://www.airportal.de/ to see where it is available..
thanks for the reply. I checked the map and it seems they haven't updated. Also if they were to update it, it would work on 3G/HSPA+?

It should. The HTC Rezound has the 1900Mhz radio. Almost all unlocked GSM capable phones will be able to get 3G/4G/HSPA+ with T-Mobile.
Csn anyone confirm that a rezound can fully work on t mobile? Same quality voice and SMS and lte.
Thanks

I tested a T-Mobile SIM in my Rezound. Voice quality was outstanding, no issues with SMS/MMS. But the best data I could get was EDGE. I live in Phoenix, AZ, so if I was capable of getting better speeds, I would have gotten them here.

The Rezound does not have the hardware support for T-Mobile's 1700Mhz AWS frequencies, which is used for 3G and psuedo-4G (HSPA+), so the best you will ever get with the Rezound on T-Mobile is 2G/Edge... and no LTE at all on T-Mobile which uses 1700Mhz Band 4 LTE, the Rez only supports Verizon's 700Mhz Band 13 LTE. Sorry...

Can you use the Samsung Galaxy SII on Tmobile..they are both gsm..if so...does it get 3g and 4g on tmo....i like the look and feel of the att version better than tmos....thanks
You will get voice, txt, and edge data but no 3g. TMo uses a different frequency band than att

As tony said, everything works but you only get edge speeds. I know because I am on T-Mobile. Its fine for web browsing and such, but don't expect any HQ YouTube.
Wish i had 3g at least, could care less about 4g, because i like the ATT version the best of the sgs2's. I knew this would happen before i bought it though. Maybe the merger will go through?

Just to expand on the others comments, that phone you mentioned has: Frequencies 850/900/1900/2100 (Quad band), whereas T-Mobile needs both 1700 and 2100. You need both because they use one for uploading and another for downloading.

I'm Galaxy Nexus owner. I have T-mobile and it works with HSPA+ without any problem. It is really fast.
In a blog I read that International version of SGSIII doesn't not support T-Mobile HSPA+ & 3G.
I wanted to be sure before ordering the phone.
Do you have any information about this?

So, the trade-off for early access to the much-anticipated phone is less functionality. The international model’s 3G HSPA+ should have no problems with the AT&T network – though won’t step up to LTE – but won’t work on T-Mobile USA’s 3G as it lacks support for the 1700 band.

Are you sure that's what you read?
Another way of reading it, is that T-mobile doesn't support the 1700 band, required for LTE. But what do I know? I only know that the modem firmware certainly supports the 1700 band, but whether or not this is implemented in hardware is a different story, but it would have been stupid not to have done it. The only way to tell, is if someone can start posting some internal pictures of the PCB so we can see what radio chip sets are used within.
You will not get HSPA or even 3G speeds with the International S3 on T-Mobile. HSPA is T-Mo's 3G network and it requires 1700/2100 band, which the S3 does not have.
At best, you will get 2G (or EDGE) speeds, and those are not very fast at all. Streaming anything would be pretty painful.

Got the message...
However, what about AT&T? Will I get 3G (HSPA+) on their network? As you probably know, there are SIM cards for both T-Mo and AT&T available to work with the international version of the S3.
What band does AT&T use for 3G/HSPA+ , and can the unlocked S3 use it?

Yes, it will work fine. ATT HSPA+ is using 850/1900 and is completely compatible. You will get HSPA+ speeds with the Int. S3.

Galaxy Nexus is penta-band (it supports a bunch, including 1700), and hopefully the next nexii will be as well.
To check for compatibility in future, you just need to compare the phone's frequencies with those listed for the provider (can probably find them on wikipedia even). In this particular case, you'll have to wait for the t-mobile s3 if you want hspa+.
It is worth pointing out (and I'm surprised that no one has done so yet) that T-Mobile USA is working to have hspa+ working with the 1900 band by the fourth quarter. So if the international S3 doesn't initially get hspa+ on tmo, it will by the end of the year, possibly even by the end of summer.

I know they are doing this, but I doubt it will be done anytime soon especially since they want LTE out next year. So far this has only happened in small sections of Colorado and California. I hope they will finish soon but it just doesn't seem likely.

Agreed, you shouldn't make phone decisions on the basis of something that might happen eventually; who knows when they'll even get to your geographical location.
The baseband chip set is the same in Galaxy Nexus and i9300, so I see no other reason for not providing T-mobile compatibility apart from either not having had time to build the baseband firmware to conform to T-mobile networks or simply that T-mobile is doing something "wrong"! (Yeah, they tend to complicate things by reinventing the wheel, and Samsung are probably getting tired of having to provide them with separate models and modifications all the damn time, just because of it.)

You're wrong.the reason they're doing this is because of Lte. They want to use the 1700 band for lte and the 1900 for hspa since they don't have many people using the 1900 bands for gsm. So it'll happen really soon.

I guess that depends on your definition of "really soon," but last I heard, TMo wasn't beginning the LTE transition until "early 2013".

But first they need to clear out the hspa 1700 spectrum for lte, and that's planned for later this year.

Clearing out 1700 for LTE doesn't mean 1900 will be refarmed at the same time. They have been "refarming" for quite a while and still only have small areas to show for it.

It has nothing to do with T-Mobile. If pentaband phones can exist it isn't that big of a deal to include the band. It is a European phone and they don't use the 1700mhz/2100mhz combo band that T-Mobile uses.
T-Mobile also isn't the only carrier in North America to do this, so it's not like they're the only one.
galaxy s3 has HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 , no 1700. so it doesn't work with t-mobile 3g right now.
Hi, I just purchased the DNA and registered it with the mobile. I am having trouble with the tower connections. I can only seem to get on EDGE GSM and some other really slow networks. I know the DNA supports the 1900and 2100mhz bands and t mobiles hspa 4G works only on 1700mhz. So if this is true, when is t - mobiles new 4G 1900mhz network coming to Toledo Ohio?

it is true, and there is no way to know when they are going to light up the 1900 band in your area. You can see where the 1900 band currently is here. But for now have fun with 2g

I think 4G service on Verizon device even if you unlock them will not work on GSM sim card. Try hooking up your device on CDMA service and see what happen.

It's not uncommon at all to make different variants of the same phone for different networks. If the phone doesn't have the bands then no amount of flashing other things is going to make a difference.
