[Q] SGS2 SGH-T989 has 850 Mhz ?

Hi guys, I want to buy this phone but want to know if it has 850MHz UMTS band in gsmarena.com says if known but looking at the official website does not mention having it tmobile
someone who is holder of this model I can confirm that it works the 850MHz band that works on at & t or TELUS or Latin America
thank you very much

This phone does support at&t 3g (not 4g lte) and should support Telus 4g bands also.

oh my god, no matter that functions in LTE because the phone I bought for my country Colombia and 3G networks here are compatible with phones that have 850MHz band, so if it is true that this band is 850MHz, is confirmed 100%?
thanks OuncE718

From what I've heard Telus shares the same bands as our phone and it has been confirmed for a fact that our phone is compatible with at&t 3g band. There's already a thread posting a few posts down about it being compatible with at&t 3g. Your welcome sir.

There is only a software difference between the two phones, basically the Telus version has a bit newer kernel and less debugging flags in the OS. Nothing major and if you flash a mod there is no decernable difference at all.
There is no external Telus branding on the phone.

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.
-Mosh

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] will the international note 2 work with lte in canada?

Hi Note lovers!
So I'm looking to get the international version of the note 2, apparently it has LTE on board but i was wondering what frequencies, because I was hoping to get it working on bell mobility in Canada. I know it will work with the HSPA networks and all so its not a big deal for me but if anyone knows about the lte bands on the phone and on bell that would be great!
happy hacking

2600mhz band is deployed for Bell/Rogers. Int'l version will have this band. However, the 2600mhz coverage is faster than the AWS LTE being mainly deployed by Bell/Rogers/TELUS, which could mean spotty coverage and poor building penetration of the signal.

ahha thanks! so technically it will work but really depends on what spectrum they are using in my area?

Be aware the international n7100 that is being offered for pre orders does NOT have lte built in. The lte model (n7105) is coming later.

[SOLVED] [Q] US GSM Galaxy Nexus in Canada?

Hi all,
I have a US GSM Galaxy Nexus (currently in use on T-Mobile with 4G working well). Does anyone know if this will work in Canada? I've googled and gotten very mixed results from my searches. It sounds like it may be fully compatible with Wind Mobile, but I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance!

Isn't the GSM Galaxy Nexus similar to what was available from the Play Store? I believe that version will work on Rogers, Fido, Wind and Mobilicity in Canada. Not sure about Bell and Telus though.
Hope that helps.

its a gsm nexus, so yes it will work.
you clearly didnt google anything.

I thought all Galaxy Nexus phones are suppose to come unlocked?
I bought/use mines from/on mobilicity, but its works on every GSM network so far that I have tested, eg. Wind/Fido/Bell/Rogers.

It'll work. Canadian carriers (GSM) use the same exact frequencies as US carriers. I know that Rogers, Fido, and (I think) Telus are equivalent to AT&T in terms of 3G ("4G") frequencies used (850/1900 MHz), while Wind and Mobilicity are equivalent to T-Mobile's frequencies (AWS, aka the combo of 1700/2100 MHz).
It doesn't really matter what carrier you go with with the Galaxy Nexus because it supports 850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz for 3G (aka "4G"). It's pentaband; it's made to support all carriers in North America and most of the world.

Yes, I should have clarified. I expected it to work for calling and SMS but I was specifically curious about 3g/4g.

I already answered your question above.

I Use the Gnex here on QUEBEC WITH fIDO AND IT WORKS like a charm. By the way, I'm able to use the 3G with a descent speed, not sure about the 4G.

The only difference between the international gsm Galaxy nexus and the US gsm galaxy nexus is that the US version comes with Google Wallet pre-installed. Everything else is the same.

It will in fact I'm using an American Galaxy Nexus on wind right now.

For the [hopefully] last time, yes, it will work. They're all pentaband unless you have a CDMA model (Sprint, Verizon).

^^ That is about as good as an answer can get. I have a T-Mobile GNex that is on T-Mobile when in the U.S., Rogers when I am in Canada, and I have also used it on Vodafone in the UK with no issues at all, including data. It will work with all Canadian carriers as mentioned in the quote for phone and data.

Will Verizon Note 4 be able to use AT&T LTE?

I have been able to have an iPhone 6 from Verizon work on my AT&T sim and have LTE. Has anyone been able to have a Verizon Note 4 work on AT&T and have LTE work?

Yes it will. All verizon LTE devices must be unlocked and if they state they are GSM Global ready, it means that they will generally work on other GSM carriers in the US. In this case, the Note 4 is GSM Global ready and will work on AT&T and T-mobile.

Yes, the Note 4 as well as all VZW 4G LTE phones from the past couple of years will work on ATT and TMO but will not necessary receive LTE depending on the area and LTE coverage you are in.
my 2 cents.

Thank you for the responses.
Would anyone be able to tell me what LTE Bands the Verizon version supports?
