Help Please! Will the galaxy nexus work with Mobilicity?

Hey Everyone,
I recently pre-ordered the Galaxy Nexus from Bell on contract for three years thinking that Wind and Mobilicty are CDMA. (I know, I'm crazy). I have just figured out that they are in fact a GSM network. My question is that if I changed my order from bell from a three year contract to unlocked, will it work on Mobilicity's service? I know there probably won't be 4G speeds but if I can get a plan with unlimited calling and data for $17.50 per month instead of the 500mb and 200 minutes im getting with Bell for $50 a month, I'd rather get it unlocked.
Note: If you say it will work, please provide some evidence of some sort, e.g. some specs that state that the Galaxy Nexus will work with Mobilicity's network
Thanks so much everyone, and if you could reply as fast as possible it would be extremely appreciated as the promotion that they have for $17.50 might be over really soon so I'll buy it right away.

Galaxy Nexus is penta-band 3G phone...so the HSPA version will work on that network.
You're ok with it,enjoy the phone.

Are you sure? I don't mind having slow speeds (HSPA) but my budget is really low and I really want to make sure that the phone will work with Mobilicity out of the box

Yes it will work. Relax

Thanks, but could anyone point me to specifications for the galaxy nexus which tells me what frequencies or radios they use? I'm really bad at this kind of stuff
Thanks again all

Even though you would have a hard time finding any GSM/UMTS/HSPA network it doesn't work on you could always check the list on Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UMTS_networks#Americas
It says Mobilicity uses the same frequencies as T-Mobile US, a frequency that is both listed in the official specs and is something some people is already using it on without issues.

Compared to HSPA+?
Edit: So the Galaxy Nexus works with 1700 band IV (AWS)? http://imgur.com/NJrCK
Edit2: So, according to http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus-4219.php, the galaxy nexus has the following:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
So Mobilicity definitely supports this?
Edit 3: According to a Wikipedia page on Mobilicity:
"Network
The company also has a cell-site sharing agreement with Bell Mobility to share cell tower space in all Mobilicity zones[12]. The network uses the UMTS IV frequency band, also known as AWS, to provide UMTS (with HSPA) service[13]. Using this band, user equipment transmits at 1710–1755 MHz, and receives at 2110–2155 MHz. AWS is the same frequency as Wind Mobile and Videotron in Canada and T-Mobile USA. Like WIND, Mobilicity does not have a 2G, EDGE, GPRS GSM Network.
Mobilicity's network is compatible with the same handsets and devices as Wind Mobile and Videotron networks, and UMTS handsets and devices offered by T-Mobile USA.

So is the Galaxy Nexus a UMTS handset that works with T-Mobile USA?
Thanks again guys, sorry for being a complete noob

I already said so, yes. Should be no problem. My mention of T-Mobile US was only if you wanted to know actual users who are already running it on those frequencies.
Yes, it's a UMTS handset that works with T-Mobile USA. I don't know how I can make it any clearer.
EDIT: Well, to clarify it a bit more I can say that HSPA (HSDPA and HSUPA) HSPA+ are improvements upon UMTS. In other words, every HSPA device is a UMTS device.

Perfect, thanks so much!Also, according to other websites it has UTMS 1700/2100 or HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 or Network (3G) HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 so basically it will work for sure right?
Sorry for repeatedly asking the same thing, I just want to be sure. One more yes, and I'm going to change the order from 3 year term to unlocked

How many different ways do we have to say this? It has quadband GSM and pentaband 3G, if you put in a North American SIM in the phone, it will work.

[Q] T-Mobile HSDPA ?

I just received my galaxy note ii today but it seems that it is not connecting to T-Mobile 3G network.
Does the Note II work on 3G networks in the US?

No =(
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
You need AWS bands of 1700 / 2100 which it lacks.

ok does AT&T or Verizon 3g network work on the Note II?

Just AT&T.
Verizon uses CDMA for it's 2G and 3G Networks. The Note 2 won't work on Verizon PERIOD.

i just went to AT&T and asked regarding this, they said if it is prepaid it might be 50% working and 50% not working, but if it is postpaid it will work. I want prepaid plan.
Is that true?

Oppo R819?

I know this is in the wrong place, but it's the only place with Oppo in the thread title.
Anyone hear about the new device? I don't know if it works on TMO or not but it's in the same spec range as the Moto X and Nexus 4, but at a $350 price point.
http://www.gsmarena.com/oppo_r819-5631.php
Looks SUPER thin, and its face resembles an Iphone.

Yep.. Its their newest device. Already being used in China. It should work on T-Mobile as well. Not a bad device at all. I played with it at XDAevCon and it was fast and smooth, running AOSP, and the camera is great on it!

The bands for it are:
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
That means it's really only mostly compatible with AT&T. You'll get T-Mobile EDGE and be able to make phone calls as well as maybe some 850 AWS in areas that have that. But that's it.
But on AT&T you'll have issues as well with HSDPA as the 1900 isn't supported.

You may get a faster result, asking the above question here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help
As this section is for the LG OG and not general Q&A
Hope this helps

UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) it a WCDMA ( Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) implementation.
A chinese phone with 900/2100 WCDMA will work perfect for you.
LG OG 975 would also get you 2600 LTE that will boost your network speed.

nope. HSPA+ is technically a form of "4G", but not the most current LTE (which, i assume, youre referring to)
