I really want to get my hands on an HDX. I could get one from amazon Germany - but they say that LTE functionality in Switzerland is not available at the moment.
Now I am wondering whether it is a Hardware or software issue?
In Switzerland we use the 800, 1800 and 2600MHz bands.
Can anyone help or has anyone actually bought a device in one country and successfully used LTE in another?
Cheerios.

Hiya,
I recently purchased a phone from USA it was a TMOBILE Pocket PC Phone Edition. It seems that i cannot use it on some networks in the UK because it's only 1900/800 hz compatible.
In the UK only 2 networks support this kind of frequency, none of which are cheap and stable imo.
Is there a way I can unlock this to make it work on 1800 hz?
Please let me know.
there is now ay to get the XDA to work on the 1800 Mhz frequecy if it is a USA unit. They are two seperate units, one tht operate 1900/900 Mhz for N. America and one 1800/900Mhz for Europe and Asia.
I may be able to help though. If you live in Europe and are not planning retuning to the US, I have a O2 XDA unlocked that I bought in Malaysia that I cannt use because I live in Canada and it is the 900/1800 Mhz model. I'm looking for someone to exchange my unit with.
Hi, you can contact me on [email protected]
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
i have one short question.
I'm currently living in the US for the next few months and my HTC Desire keeps on rebooting and HTC won't repair it in the US, because it's an german vodafone branded version.
Anyways, i need a new phone.
If I buy the SGSII here in the US, will I be able to use it in Germany aswell?
Because currently I cannot use 3G with my Desire (carrier is t-mobile), only EDGE. It would be a real bummer if I couldn't use the SGSII to it's full extend (meaning 3G etc.) in Germany.
Thanks for your answers!
Th unlocked Europe version is compatible with both Europe and US 3g radios.
ya well, but i want to buy it in the US and use it in europe. Not the other way round.
I think that's what he meant.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Could just buy Europe version online.

That's what I meant... Plus there are a stores in the US that will sell it.
gs2 unlocked version is quadband 3g 850, 900, 1900, 2100mhz. i'm assuming german is 900mhz. so you can use 3g in anywhere except tmobile usa (1700mhz).
Hey Guys,
I am situated in Germany and in my opinion, the ATT Versions of the S2 is the most beautiful one. My carrier ist o2.
Is it possible to buy a S2 ATT via the US Ebay and use the phone without any restrictions in Germany?
I guess I need to root it first, then unlock it and then I am good to go? Are these thins easily and safely to achieve? Is it that simple? What about the network, is the american version compatible with the german network? Can I use hsdpa?
Any other restrictions?
Thank you in advance.
the usual problems with US phones in europe... no 3g, but if your only there short term, it may be worth picking up, otherwise just get the euro version with the correct bands.
also i havent checked but there may be a quad band umts unlocked
AT&T version only has tri-band (850/1900/2100) HSPA+ radio. So if your carrier O2 uses 900 band for 3G service, your phone will only work in 2G mode.
International version of GS2 has quad-band HSPA+ and it works everywhere.
Hi,
Got a Lumia 920 from Nokia at BUILD 2012, and it has been working perfectly here in Norway, but I am unable to do any testing of LTE. The provider, Telenor, has coverage where I want to test, but I can't seem to get a LTE connected properly, and Telenor only suggests getting support from Nokia directly or trying to get a firmware update as there are no wrong settings or restrictions in my subscription. The "extras+info" list the phone model as "RM-820_nam_canada_246".
Questions:
Is it possible to flash this dev model with the Telenor software/firmware or will that brick it?
Are there known LTE differences between this US/Canada model and the ones sold in Europe?
Will the Nokia Legal Action Force break down my doors for this?
Thanks!
The version we got at BUILD 2012 is a Canadian version L920. The frequency it supports is printed on the box. For LTE, it supports 700/850/1900/1700_2100 MHz which are primarily North American frequencies. Europeans use different frequency bands. You need to check with your carrier to see which frequency band its LTE service uses. There are more than two dozen different LTE frequency bands used through out the world. Hence there is no such thing as world LTE phones yet.
I wish I had one of those Build Nokia 920's. Single most wanted item in my list.

It is not dev unlocked and so far received zero update from Nokia. Simply overrated.
Evening all,
Just a bit of advice, I'm looking to upgrade from my g8x to the v60. As the european/international version is virtually impossible to find, I'm looking at the unlocked USA variants of this phone. Does anyone have this model in the UK and can confirm that it works on 3g/4g OK? I've found different sources stating that some of the bands aren't present in the USA variants - not bothered about 5g, just as long as I can get 3 and 4g on o2 it's fine. Also tried frequency checker but it doesn't seem to list the v60 on there for some reason...
OK so I've just come across the website Kimovil, this seems to be more helpful - looks like the only one that is going to be any use is the Canadian variant of the phone, the USA versions from t mobile/at+t have most of the bands missing for use in the UK. Explains why they go for far less online!
Interesting have you got a link to that site or have a link of where to buy one that will be good for UK
Also looking to buy a v60 to use on the UK
Kimovil.com
Not really found anything other than links for the USA versions of the phone, they don't seem to have the correct bands for most of the UK networks. I'm just watching eBay and seeing what comes up...
I bought an ATT model, unlocked from Ebay. I live in The Netherlands and my provider, Simyo, uses the KPN network with 800mhz (band 20) and 1800mhz (band 3) for 4G/LTE. After inserting my sim everything worked right away. Calls, data, no problems at all. My provider does not support 5G yet
Edit: be aware that you will not receive updates like android 11 (if on 10) or security updates on the V600AM.
I bought the V600AM, I'm in the UK and I can confirm that it works with O2. The only issue is that phone will switch to 2G when making voice calls,soon after hang up it will switch back to 4G LTE.

OK that's useful to know, I'm still not sure about 3g support as where I live in the depths of rural Cornwall we seem to struggle a bit with 4g - it's OK when I'm outside but indoors tends to drop back to 3g, I can use wifi at least. Thanks for the info though

Yeah, the 3g coverage is a thing for me as I tend to only get 4g when outside, it reverts to 3g indoors and I think that may be an issue for me with this phone as it needs to be a daily driver - as far as I can see the USA variants don't support the right bands for UK use....

You could force the phone to be on "LTE Only" with an app from Gstore,but then you won't be able to receive and make voice calls. Not ideal, but considering this phone is from a US network,it will never be 100% compatible with UK Networks. If only someone would find a solution to root it!!!
Which bands use for UK?
Calls will be via 3g if your region coverage that bands.
