I think this is the current list of nations with CDMA networks:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CDMA2000_networks
I would recommend that you simply buy a phone from a local mobile company. CDMA phones are harder to get working on other systems than GSM phones.
You have to find out what networks you have where you live. American CDMA is pretty much only a North American signal. The Evo is built to run on the Sprint network which is CDMA.
Most European countries (I know you are not in European country) run on a GSM network. Two of USA's bigger companies run GSM phones...AT&T and T-Mobile. Phones from both those companies will run in Europe...but not at 3G. But they will work.
My new Evo will not work in Europe...so next time I travel I will need to consider this.
Not sure if that helps. What network does your phone company use? Then get a phone that will work on that network. Evo is only CDMA so pretty much only a North American phone.
thank you very much for your answer, i hope to get a wonderful phone soon, and thank you again
Mine roamed on both data and voice when I was in Cabo San Lucas last week...

I live in Asia and yes, as long as you have compatible CDMA networks it will work, even the EVDO works!! You'll just need to ask your CDMA provider to inject a CDMA number or you can unlock it yourself using CDMA works (a bit risky thou)
Find out what frequencies the country you are trying to use it in run on their CDMA networks, Sprint runs on 1900MHz, the EVO roams on Verizon's 800MHz band. 800MHz is only for voice, 1900MHz runs both voice and data. So if you are in a country with a 800MHz CDMA network it will work, but only for voice/texts. WiMax runs on 2.5GHz, no one else uses that band for WiMax.
Get a unlocked nexus one it will save u the cdma trouble

Even if it works, and you try and experiment with it only, you might get a few thousand dollar phone bill. Be very careful.
It has happened with many people with iPhone.

Yep, the N1 has nearly the same specs, and is available in both an AT&T flavor and T-Mobile flavor of GSM. Find out what you need in your area (I expect it will be the T-Mobile phone) and go for that instead.
The N1 has a 5MP camera instead of 8MP, but the picture quality is often just as good (higher MP just means you can blow it up or crop more) and the screen is a 3.7" instead of 4.3". However both run basically the same hardware inside, and the N1 has a more mature modding community.

While Europe is a big place, the voice & wireless data portions of the Sprint Evo will not work in England, Ireland, Spain, France, Portugal, or Germany. Just like 95% percent of all Sprint phones.

Uhm...a flat contradiction adds nothing to the conversation. More data if you have it. The non-compatibility with Ireland/Europe/etc was a huge deal to me. One I had to just swallow and accept that if I want the phone I'd have to deal with travel at that time.
I spent weeks researching and was even told by Sprint store that no go on the Evo.
CNET: "Alternatively, if your relative is a Sprint or a Verizon customer, he or she can rent GSM phones from the carrier for the length of the trip:
HTC: "Networks CDMA 800/1900 MHz EVDO Rev. A, WiMAX 2. 5 to 2.7GHz; 802.16e"
Don't be an azz and throw out a denial with no information. Even HTC shows this phone has NO GSM.

Is it an extra charge to use phone there..?
My friend unlocked his but were he lives there is no 4g, were I live there is will it work? Verizon 4G lte
Nope. We are a GSM carrier, while Verizon is CDMA. Two very different technologies.

You're not going to be even able to use the phone on verizon unless you open it up, and replace some circuits on the inside... then the firmware.. sounds like a fun project if you are into that.
Tell your friend he is going to have to suck it up or buy a new phone.
No, We already got it working for 3G. We took the sim card out of his Droid 3 Global while I was on vacation and put it in an unlocked Samsung Galaxy, worked fine. I am back in arizona and we have 4g here (were he lives they do not) and I just bought another sgs2 and when I take the sim out of my Droid 3 global will it work 4g aslong as 3g? I know it works for 3g

No you didn't . Not possible on this phone .
Wont to bet fag $10 paypal on the table
Look it up droid 3 is gsm
Fag? Look it up, NO TMOBILE PHONE WILL WORK ON VERIZONS NETWORK. Bottom line, you did not put a verizon sim card in the T989 and get 3g. There are more then one Samsung Galaxy S2. .
Oh and by the way, calling someone a name like that shows your age, mommy and daddy need to child proof the computer.
Not on my computer. I am not a kid just pissed ill upload a pic 4 proof one second

maybe he means the sprint galaxy s2??? that might be possible? who knows lol
So after looking around, you might be able to do it.
Just try it because apparently you have everything you need on hand.
But you will not be able to make calls from it.
I suppose that means you got a mini ipad or something.
You'll get 3G at max, probably edge since t-mobile uses HPSA+ instead of LTE bands.
There are so many Samsung Galaxy phones it is easy to get mixed up. Im just letting them know that Tmobile phones CANT work on Verizon, completely different technologies used.

Thank you, That is all I Need to do. And also I am pretty sure the 3g works, unless its only 2g on my friends. I knew it worked cause we did it on my friends. Kinda sucks 4g will not work, all good though. Thank you again for your help

Wheres that pic??? And after that please right a tutorial of how you were able to accomplish this, even 2g speeds is enough.
I asked my friend he is asleap so I left a message, Droid 3 is listed as supporting GSM 850/900/1800/1900. Also, my SIM card has "Verizon GSM Global network". I can prove the phone me and my friend bought is the t-mobile one I have a pic of the box. Let me get it off ebay

People say att htc one x unlocked are not working with tmobile 4g, how about world version?
Thanks guys!
No. EDGE speeds only. It'll work in re-farmed markets but then so will any HSPA/+ phone.
So that means I am using the 2g speed on my flag ship smart phone whenever I am trying to open the browser!!??? If so, thinking to sell it!!! Wasting money and time......

I am in Dallas TX, some people say that the frequency band over here of tmobile is 1900. Is that true? I am still waiting my device so there is no way to test it at this point. I am using amaze 4g right now, is there a way I can do a test on my current device?
Thanks a lot!
I use my phone on EDGE. It's just whether CPU is more important to you or Data speeds. For me I use my phone more like a PSP so as long as I get my notifications (twitter,FB,email) the data speed is fine.

The big reason I switch from amaze 4g to one x is that it has bigger screen and I use gps a lot. Since still waiting for the device, have nothing to do.
Thanks
Is it even possible to flash a radio that will work with T-mobile 4g? I just got a white HTC one x because it looks sleek but it is no longer sleek with just 2g. Is anyone working on how to make htc one x works on US tmobile 4g network? And how long do I have to wait? Please let me know. Thanks.

i would like to know this as well... or does anyone use it on straight talk?
im not spamming just trying to get the right information since i googled and nothing shows up. thank you in advance
It'll work on at&t's hspa+ aka faux 4g (not LTE) via at&t BYOD straight talk micro sim. I'm on T-Mobile only because i had an unlocked 4s with their prepaid but as soon as its about to expire I'm making the jump to straight talk.

It works in AT&T Straight Talk with HSPA+
I got me a AT&T GoPhone SIM while I made vacation in the USA and HSPA+ worked fine and speed was awesome, too.

you want to know your wait ok Forever!!!!!!!! Wait for T-mobile to release their version of this device. This is what happens when you DO NOT WAIT. Sell it to someone who has ATT that is all you can do now. Then buy the one T-mobile will carry done
Am i the only one using the Epic 4g outside the US? I use it in India. If there are other users from India, please reply to this thread so that we can share our experiences and help each other out.

Hi Billamin: I have an Epic 4G touch from Sprint in the US that I am planning to use in India. Can you please let me know what ROM should I flash it to for using on the reliance network in India?

If its your first time rooting the go for any stable rom.
I'm using this E4G in China. Programmed to China Telecom and 3G enabled. I think you have to make sure your carrier is CDMA, as E4G is only compatible with that (damn or I'll be enjoying "4G" from China Unicom)
Also, not to discourage you, but I don't think there's the file to program your E4G to India carriers should there be a suitable one... The user base might be TOO small
Anyway, just a heads-up that this phone is possible outta US. I'm currently switching between all kinds of ROMs and they all work well.

Anyone with a brain can program if you take the time, patience to learn, theoretically any company on CDMA can be used with the epic, the 2 fastest things that come nearly instantly from easy programming is talk and text, 3g and 1x are carrier dependent, with most being a breeze to get 1x, and 3g requiring a bit more leg work, but doable.

This is something I just discovered the other day and it kinda bugged me out cause as far as I knew data while on voice wasn't possible on CDMA.. But I was inside a cafe getting lunch, and while on the phone I had to look up something on ticketmaster and was amazed that I was actually able to surf the web while on the phone. I have had blackberries, WM phones and an Evo prior to this and it was never possible (unless on wifi) I'm in NYC so there is no LTE available yet.. Has anyone who is in a non-LTE market able to do this?
I've seen this mentioned before by some others. Here's a link to one such thread.

Thanks! When I saw this I kissed my phone, LOL.. But really this is why this phone is so damn amazing.. It makes it so much easier to quickly look something up then to have to say "lemme look this up real quick I'm gonna call you back".
Yep it's great isn't it. The newer phones on Sprint or at least Galaxy 3 and Evo LTE are svdo capable aka simultaneous voice and data. Thank God cdma networks can now do this (Sprint, Verizon) as the gsm networks (TMobile, and AT&T) have been able to do this for a long time.

Yup! And don't forget the LG Viper it was the first LTE phone to bring the feature. Kinda messed up the Galaxy Nexus is the only LTE phone that don't support it.
yeah, I found this out today and I about screamed out of joy!. I was downloading G Maps and had to call my wife, so I called her and realized the 3G icon didn't go away, like it does on the Epic 4G (my last phone). And I had to tell my wife "hold on" and went back to my notifications and realizeed GMaps was still downloading. What a great feature on a CDMA phone. One more reason to love my GSIII I wish i could find out who thought of this, so I could buy him/her a beer. Peace!
i never even paid attention... usually the only time im using data while on the phone is at home with wifi or occasionally when im on 4g which of course is not cdma... never new this feature was implemented... good to know gsm no longer has the one up on us...
Does this chipset use a different 3G technology?
I remember when the Thunderbolt came out for Verizon everyone was amazed that it could do this and the reason was Verizon/Thunderbolt's Chipset was using some different type of EVDO revision that allowed it to work or something. Maybe I'm wrong on the technical details lol, but the general idea is right.....
