Hi guys ,
I'm considering to buy a t989 . The new phones have the 850mhz band for 3G .. Do the older ones have it too ? I'll buy one from ebay and don't want to buy a wrong phone . Please answer if you are sure . Thanks for help ..
Yes, the T-989 does support umts bands

Supported bands (according to box, which has more bands listed than website):
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
UMTS: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700), Band V (850)
These bands have been confirmed as correct (and the website wrong) by usage by users here.

I'm trying to buy a GS3 from T-Mobile, but I need it to have AWS 1700/2100, because I'm on Wind Mobile in Canada. But looking on eBay it shows the GS3 to be GSM with no 1700 AWS frequencies. Although, GSM arena does show the following frequencies for the T-Mobile T999:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
But on TMobile's website it doesn't list 1700/2100 AWS, but it does show Band IV (AWS) which I believe is supposed to be 1700/2100 AWS. This is how it shows on the T-Mobile website:
Band (frequency): 850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS: Band V (850)
But on ALL eBay listings it doesn't list Band IV (AWS) or 1700/2100 AWS. It shows the following:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) HSPA+ 850/900/1900/2100
Can someone clarify if the T-Mobile version really has the 1700/2100 AWS frequencies? Appreciate all the help.
Yes. T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100 bands for Their HSPA+ network. It should work fine for you.

I think the OP's point was that all eBay listings have the phone listed as: GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) HSPA+ 850/900/1900/2100
If indeed all eBay listings show this, then those phones would not work on Wind. There is no 1700 in that frequency band description. So unless all these eBay sellers got the specs wrong (which would be a really big coincidence) or if indeed TMobile has more than one version, then those Tmobile USA branded phones will not work on Wind Mobile.
Update: I just took a quick look on eBay and all listings do indeed list the phone specs without the AWS 1700 spectrum. But Tmobile's website does show the UMTS Band IV listed in the GS3 specs. And Band IV is another name for AWS 1700/2100. But hey, if every eBay listing is not listing the AWS 1700 spectrum in the specs, then maybe T-Mobile does indeed have 2 different models.
They don't. (well they have 16gb and 32gb versions but, that's irrelevant to this discussion) Ebay sellers often cut and paste descriptions in their listings leaving people confused
T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100 bands. I should know, not only do I have THAT version of the SGSIII....but it must have those bands to get HSPA+ on T-Mobile's network. That's one of the reasons AT&T and most, international versions of phones (One X tegra 3 version comes to mind), ONLY GET EDGE.
The other option is that the listing is for the international SGSIII which IS NOT compatible with T-Mobile's HSPA+ network.

Hi developers,
I am a new member here, so please forgive me if I am asking dumb questions...
I recently read on the US Samsung website about the T-mobile version GS4 that it has 6 LTE bands on it: 1/2/4/5/7/17, which correspond to 2100 1900 1700 850 2600 700MHz respectively. Since T-mobile website did not specify what bands their GS4 will have, I assume it will be the same as the T-mobile version GS4 on the Samsung website.
Samsung website:
LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/17;
HSPA+/UMTS: 850/1900/2100MHz;
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
T-mobile:
UMTS: Band I (2100);
UMTS/HSPA+: AWS Band IV / 2100 / 1900 / 850;Band II (1900);
Quad Band GSM;
LTE (????)
My questions are:
1. Since AT&T uses LTE bands 1/4/7/17, which are also covered in the Tmobile GS4. Technically, does that mean I can use Tmobile GS4 on AT&T WITH LTE network?
2. I will be traveling to Asia and the country I am going uses 2600MHz (Band 7) as its LTE band, does that also mean I can use LTE on their network too?
Thank you so much again honored developers!
Hi folks,
I have a quick question, but can the Tmobile Note 3, when unlocked, support international 3G (i.e., the same bands as AT&T I presume)?
I've read that the T-Mo Note 3 supports LTE on AT&T's network, but I'm not sure if LTE is the same as 3G in terms of band support.
Thanks in advance to those who have the answer for this.
Cheers.

Hey guys,
I am in Malaysia and my phone operator uses 4G LTE on Band B7 2600. I can't find the proper list of bands for the Sprint version, can someone please clarify if I can use LTE or not?
Regards,
Zeekay.
Here you go: From the samsung web site:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-N910PZKESPR-specs
According to Samsung they do not support 2600 with this phone.
LTE: Band 25/26/41
800/1900 MHz (CDMA),
800/1900/2500 MHz (LTE),
850/900/1800/1900 MHz (GSM),
850/900/1900/2100 MHz (UMTS)
I don't know if there are hardware limitations that would prevent loading different firmware to enable band 7

People like me with unlocked sprint note 4's have been trying forever to unlock additional lte bands. But so far not possible! I have once found my phone on lte band 5, but don't know how it happened.
By default this phone only supports 25,26,41. Pic below.
I have found a hidden menu of lte bands but none work! Pic below.
Edit: @poit i didn't even see your post. Sorry, didn't mean to double answer!
Ho can you help me to understand if my mi 6 (sagit ) global can work with this Canadian carrier?
On the site of the carrier "Your phone must be compatible with LTE AWS (1700 MHz) or LTE 700 MHz bands, or UMTS/HSPA compatible on 850/1900 MHz bands. See your phone’s user guide for information about network compatibility."
Will It work?
Thank you
