I'm pretty sure that the T-Mobile CM10.1 shouldn't work on this phone since the Cyanogen team went to the trouble of labeling it as the T-Mobile version. However, are there any solid hardware differences between the two phones other than the whole SIM card issue? Shouldn't the basic -- non-cellular -- functions still work? Or am I missing something important?
If you port it yes.
But issues will be there between gsm and the cdma

I just converted my Tmobile service to ATT after getting tmobile to unlock my phone for me.
I have everything working with ATT now and no problems so far. In fact the one thing I hoped would happen is I would get the better coverage at my home with ATT then I had with tmobile and I have, so I am happy.
Now, I am curious about something I have read in regards to "radio stacks", and apparently different providers may have different radio stacks?
I want to make my phone as compatible as I can with ATT and just curious if anyone knows of any specific ROM's, Radio Stacks or any other ATT based software that might be beneficial to me. You help will be greatly appreciated.
Unlike T-Mobile, ATTWS includes almost no carrier-based software on the phone. You're running a pretty generic HTC setup on ATTWS.
I switch back and forth between ATTWS and T-Mobile and I have not had any problems using one radio stack on the other.

My question is this, since you're now getting better coverage at my home with ATT what raio stack is your phone currently running AT&T or T-Mobile? To check go to Start, Settings, System, Device Information.
Hello! I am deploying to Kuwait for a year and was hoping to get international service on my unlocked SGSII i777 AT&T branded phone. I'll be installing CM7 or CM9 on it, but based on the posts here, there's some reason that it will not work internationally, at least not nearly as well as an International i9100? Is there anyone that could help explain why I would run into issues?
Slightly different hardware. CM7 should be about the same between the two - You will not see CM9 until kernel source for the I9100 becomes available, and even then, the audio libraries may be problematic for in-call audio.

But I shouldn't have any problems with an international SIM?

As long as your phone is sim "unlocked", you won't have issue with international sim unless it doesn't support the bands.
I can verify that I took my unlocked SGH-I777 to UK last week and put the sim card from O2 network. It worked like a charm.. 3G was working too without any issues.
Kuwait use GSM (2G) 900/1800MHz band as well as 3G on 2100MHz.
As long as your SGS2 unlocked, it should work, theoretically.
Band support is (I believe) identical between I9100 and I777.
Main difference is that the I9100 ICS leaks don't do much for us, we need a full I9100 release including kernel source to get ICS.
Thanks for the help, guys. My worries are alleviated
Be safe over there!

Thank you kelavine
Best of luck... Hopefully this trend of things starting to get "interesting" around the Straits of Hormuz does not continue...
i just brought my 777 over to egypt and it is working just fine.
Does anyone know if it's possible to install the SIM Toolkit on AOSP-based ROMs (I'm running AOKP)? I'm living in East Africa (Tanzania) and for a couple of the cell providers it's pretty useful to be able to access the SIM card's menu. I know it's included in AT&T (or all Samsung?) ROMs but not sure if it's possible to get it working on AOSP ROMs.
Also, does anyone have a suggestion for a good dual-SIM adapter for our phone? I have 3 different SIM cards currently (much cheaper calling people on the same network, so it pays to have more than one SIM), and it would be really nice to have at least 2 of them in my S2 at the same time. Just not sure what a good one is.
Thanks!
I live in the US (on Sprint) and am going to Italy in a few weeks and would like to be able to use my phone over there. I'm running the latest Joker-CM9 (0.7) build.
Theoretically, I should be able to pick up an Italian SIM card over there and the phone should work... but I know there are some known GSM-issues with CM9 and even a GSM-fix available. Up until now, I haven't been paying all that much attention to issues with GSM as it hasn't affected me.
So my questions are:
What do I need to do to switch the phone from CDMA to GSM?
I assume I'll need to do the opposite to go back to CDMA upon returning?
Does anyone have any experience with using CM9 in Italy, specifically? If so, what carrier do you recommend and do you have any tips?
Is Google Voice the best way to go for managing international calling / rates / etc?
Anything else you can think of? Better ideas?
As always, I'll be doing nandroid backups before I try anything...
Thanks for the help!

I picked up a TIM sim card in Turin,a few weeks back. It worked like a champ ,I think I was running Peetr 2.3.5 though.I have tried also CM 7.2,jokers skinny,Looki,and Rocko overseas, with all of them switching networks fine.
don't use CM 9 refuse to lose my camcorder: )
But if you on blur /deblur rom ,the mobile networks setting has toggle options.
If your on AOSP just type
*#*#4636#*#* to change to gsm.
Hope this helps...

Ting on Atrix 4G
Hello everybody,
I've signed up for Ting, a better alternative to StraightTalk I believed. I tried everything I could think of to make Ting's SIM card work with CyanogenMod 11 on my Atrix, no such luck. I then flashed back to the stock rom, reluctantly, thinking I would be able to make the SIM work before flashing back to Cyanogen. This is also a failure, so it seems like to me that Ting will never work on my Atrix.
I cannot make calls, there is no Mobile Network it states. I don't care about data or messaging, all I need is for the voice to work. I've tried numerous APNs and nothing is working.
Anyone else out there running Ting on their Atrix? I'm not one to quit so after 2 days straight of this I'm ready to throw the phone against a brick wall to force myself to stop working on this lost cause.
Appreciate anyone with any insight to offer. Thanks
TracFone's SIMs also don't work on the Atrix. They are deliberately locked down to work in their own devices ONLY.
