I have an unlocked 8525 with WM6. What I'm trying to figure out is....
Should I use my ATT sim card (with voice and data) or purchase temporary card with a voice & data plan?
I will be in Sweden for about 3 weeks in the Are and Stockholm areas.
If I go with a SIM card from Sweden:
Who has the best coverage from Stockholm to Are?
Who is the most reliable?
Who has the lowest cost?
Overall I'm looking for good reception at the lowest cost...
Any English websites I can look at?
Sim card from Telia is the best. Its called "Telia refill" if you want to have a temporary sim card. "Are" is in the Northern part of Sweden so Telia has the best Coverage there you can check out this web page for it: www.telia.com or the swedish page www.telia.se you can get The Telia refill package from many stores in Stockholm such as 7 Eleven, pressbyran and many more.

Thank you very much! Will check them out!
The many times I've visited Sweden, never noticed a 7 Eleven.... Go figure .... Will have to get a Big Gulp..... Hehehe
You know, whatever you have in America will come to Sweden he he... We have McDonalds, 7 Eleven, Pizza Hut and so on...
My brother in-law uses Vodafone in Sweden. What do you think of that carrier?
He also told me, that he could not figure out the coverage or how good or bad it might be from Stockholm to the Are Ski areas and the coverage while we're there in Are. I any case thank you for any thoughts you may have.
Vodafone has changed to Telenor. I had Telenor and I live in the middle of Sweden (Tibro) and I have had bad reception indoors but better outdoors though. Telia is the biggest and oldest carrier in Sweden so their net is used on most places. Better reception...from Telia I could almost bet it. If I would go to Are and watch/do Skiing there I would select Telia Refill.
Then You have Glocalnet, Tele2/Comviq where Glocalnet is the cheapest card.
Have a Good Time here in Sweden

Thank you again! Telia Refill looks like the way to go.... And it will be easy to find a place that sells them (pressbyran & 7 eleven). One other question...
Do you know if ICA (grocery store) sells them? My wife's family live very close to one.
Many thanks....

Anyone can tell me what the Brasilian settings for data have to be?
I intend to travel whitin 3 weeks to Brasil and want to add a local sim in my Trinity but wants to use the GPRS or UMTS (when availeble) aswell I don't mind about which operator cause I didn't bought the sim yet.
Thanks in advance
Willem
The Data Settings are different for each operator. so Search first an operator and then have a look ont his internet site which DataSettings you have to define... You must go allways over a Provider authentication for gprs and there the most are with a password protected...
It's also important to have a look wheter provider is most cheap for your needs.... Calling outside country or only localy or what ever else... like mms, sms, data...

Williem, try this... I've been there for two years and my operator there was TIM... Pretty good for call but no EDGE, no UMTS, no low cost packages for connections...
Thanks
Thanks a lot
My idea was already to get a Tim chip, I don't now is it a long time ago that you where there, cause I have been there 2,5 year ago to do a trip at the Amazones and in that time I had al the time free dataconnection whit my M1000 Orange phone I bought in that time a Tim prepaid chip and could get straight away acces, last january I was in south Brasil with a Wizzard and could't get acces to the dataconnection at all neighter with my Dutch chip or whit a Brasilian chip.
I think 2 years ago it was still in trail and in January there was a full operational comercial connection.
I am realy curious about the prices which you paid for your data package there.
Regards
Willem
Williem, I stayed from August 2005 until end of March 2007 in a city close to Sao Paulo (Sao Jose dos Campos) and there was no problem for the GPRS connection. At that time there was an interesting option but only for the WAP trafic. Since when you connect our jewel to surf internet, is like a normal modem, they do not consider as a wap or mobile connection... My personal experience for maybe 2Mb payed 270R$ (or something like) = approx 100€ ... Then no more connections
This was in last december, maybe now there is something new...
You can try to look at here: http://www.timcelular.com.br/
The international calls, compared with our italian fares, is very cheap: with Voda chip, is 3€xmin, with a local TIM chip was 2R$ x min (0,75 - 0,80€)
The settings here attached are tested in a Qtek S100, Qtek S200 and with the P3600.
Some time the MMS connection is not available, but is not a setting problem, is an operator issue with their network expansion program...
Um abraço !!!
Just to inform that...at least in São Paulo, TIM has EDGE.
I live in Brazil and I can confirm you that we don't have UMTS. But there's EDGE at least in all the capitals. I can confirm you that data accesses are still expensive, specially if you have a pre-paid phone.
If you have furthet questions, feel free to contact me.

Anyone got any ideas where i can get a Republic of Ireland Map for TTN6 and Also The Speed Camera pack?? and updates Ect??
Thanx People
Ireland Maps
On the tomtom site you can get the UK and Ireland map for 50€
but why drive in Ireland ? Better drink as much Guinness as you can
This is the one I use. TomTom_Great_Britain_and_Ireland_v.675.1409
I did see it on the Piratebay once. ;-)
I don't think there's any Speedcamera updates for it or Traffic. If you subscribe to TomTom you can get traffic updates, but I can't imagine we need it in Ireland. There are only a few bad spots, i.e. all major cities. ;-)
Hi,
I'm from Germany and want to buy the Sprint HTC TP2.
Now I found some pages that say i cannot use the phone here.
Because it has quadband i think i can use gsm here, but i don't know wether umts in Germany is fully supported.
Sprint homepage says it's an international phone, but i don't know much about the frequencies of umts and else.
Why I didn't buy the phone in Germany?
Here it costs $700, the Sprint version has a audio output (3.5mm), so i donÄt need any adaptor, and i like the full black hardware keyboard more than the silver german one.
So, what's about the umts and gsm frequency in Germany and would be there any problems?
Thanx,
CrossFire
Forget it mate. Sprint is a CDMA network. It won't get any signal at all in Germany since Europe ONLY uses GSM.
By the way, I bought my phone for 519 Euros in Germany. And unlike the US variety, it comes with warranty that's actually good in Germany and I have my two years of Gewährleistung that you don't get when you buy it abroad. Considering how expensive the phone would be to replace or fix when it breaks, you might want to make sure you can actually make use of the warranty coverage.
Alternatively, buy it from China. It's about 380 Euros there, but at least it's GSM. Mind you that shipping costs and particularly import taxes and duties make the price difference between a domestic and an imported device rather small. I don't think it's worth losing the warranty

Actually, the CDMA touch pro 2s are all world phones capable of quadband GSM/EDGE in addition to Euro 3G (2100mhz). The Sprint branded phones are sim-unlocked, but they just can't use US carriers like T-Mobile USA or AT&T.
I'm not guaranteeing that it'll work, but it should in Germany.

You have no idea what you are talking about.
afaik, the sprint version should work just fine in Germany. It does have 3G GSM, and as long as you don't try it in the US you will be fine.

My mistake. I have to say that there is no clear indication on either Sprint.com, HTC.com or Microsoft.com that says that GSM features the phone has. However, I checked the Sprint manual for the phone and it turns out it does support GSM.
Am I right in saying that GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS will work, but HSDPA/HSUPA won't?
xanthene: Just for future reference, if you are in need of a full detailed spec list, you can always visit www.pdadb.net. They always have a very comprehensive list with details on the phones that will be and have already been released.
Off topic, but I know some of our Spanish cousins post here so i'll ask anyway!
I'm currently in Spain and looking for a prepaid data SIM. Last year I bought a Vodafone Ed SIM and topped up with one of their "bonos" which worked a treat and gave me 1gb data.
This year, none of the 4 Vodafone stores will sell me a prepaid Simon (they say they have non stock), so I bought a Yoigo Simon which worked OK for about 20 minutes, and then slowed to and absolute crawl. I also tried a Happy Movil SIM, but it doesn't appear to be provisioned for data despite me telling the girl in the Phone House (Carphone Warehouse ES) that I wanted it for data.
Currently, i'm using my Tmobile UK SIM with a £10 Euro Broadband booster (50mb) and i've used it far more than my Yoigo SIM. Since i'm on Movistar for both Yoigo and Tmobile UK I know my problem is not the underlying network, so i'm at a loss to explain why Yoigo is so poor.
So, I have two questions?
Can I get prepaid Internet on Movistar?
Where in the Torrevieja area can I find someone who will sell me a Vodafone prepaid SIM?
Thanks,
Dave

I live in the netherlands. There are no dutch Telco's offering esim for use in my Galaxy Watch.
However, I heard that in Germany there are telco's offering esim (tmobile for one).
Are there any people here that can advise me on whether (and if so how) to obtain a german esim for use with my RM-805U ?
greetings Henro
I never heard any success since Gear S2... S3...
To use device outside """Region Lock"""...
eSIM seems nothing Oh yeah, we can it use everywhere in the world...
Not in Samsung world.
You have US device... preconfgured for USA:
Code:
ATT
T-Mobile
Verizon
Sprint...
So IMHO NOT eSIM stuff from Netherlands nor Germany nor any other country outside USA...
Maybe it has something todo with IMEI and other Security crap...
I can not find much about eSIM Hacking...
On Google maybe few Chinese users found way for iPhone... to use in China...
Only as info.
Best Regards
