Hello. I was wondering if an unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy S II (with the 1.5Ghz processor) would work on AT&T's 3G network? Also, what about 4G? Would the antennas support these data speeds on AT&T?

Can i please know the APN settings you have so i can have 3G & 4G on ATT
I assume the quad core gs3 is GSM? Will it work with T-Mobile 4G HSPA+? My friend is on T-Mobile and is planning to get the gs3 off contact. He wanted me to find out if T-Mobile 4G will work with the quad core version or should he just buy the T-Mobile version instead.

It will work but you will be stuck on Edge.
I'd check what frequencies it has. I'm using a T-Mobile version on at&t and get 4g data. If the international version has T-Mobile's frequencies then it should work.

Are you getting 4g lte or hspa? I don't think t-mobile s3 can do lte

Would this work?
Tmobile uses Band (frequency): 850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS: Band V (850)
Device Additional Information tab on that site says "Service 900, 1800, 1900, 850, 3g 2100"
But at the top of the page it says "Band:GSM 850/900/1800/1900"
T-Mobile UMTS/HSPA+ (3G/4G) mostly runs off 1700/2100 and the international model i9300 does not support the frequency we use. The quad band GSM/EDGE will work (and therefore voice/text and slow internets).
AT&T uses a more normal 850/1900 for everything but LTE, making them more "Normal" along with our Canadian neighbors.
T-Mobile is weird :-o.
If you've got access to any make of GSM based + unlocked iPhone, stick your T-Mobile SIM in it and see what speed you can get. An unlocked AT&T phone may work for testing also. We're supposed to be getting better coverage in this kinda frequency range for that but it will likely be a long time before we get sufficient coverage to enjoy a i9300.
Well put. It will be a long time before we see decent coverage for AT&T/UK phones.

so i was just wondering but is the tmobile variant a pentaband phone? reason i ask is because since lte will be on their old spectrum (1700) and they are gonna start using 1900 does that mean its technically a pentaband phone? i have a gnex and i travel overseas so having a pentaband phone would be nice to have and would give me a reason to sell my gnex for the note. thanks
The tmo note is quadband 3g supporting 850/1900/AWS/2100 bands

can the international version of the S3 work on tmobile's LTE network?
No. S3 is not compatible with tmobile LTE and international version will only get Edge not even 4g
It may or It may not. Look at the tmobile's LTE bands and look at the international S3 bands if they the same it can. Also now that tmobile have the 1900 band and the iphone can get 3g. I think that now most of international phones with tmobiles 4g/3g

No. You'll probably need a newer galaxy s3 with the lte chip.

No. And worse it will only do 2G on the T-Mobile network until after the frequency realignment. Then it "might" be able to do HSPA+, but perhaps not.
LTE... Never.
I'm looking to trade my iPhone for one and was wondering will it work on the att network are there how tos on how to get it up and going ?

It will "work", but I'm not sure how well. You will for sure get basic voice and text, as well as 2g data, and I think ATT and T-mobile share one LTE band, so if the LTE where you are is on that band, you should get that as well. However, I think their HSPA+ bands are different as well as their 3g bands, so you might not be able to get those. Someone may correct me though, as I'm new to T-mobile (and GSM) so I may be wrong on the 3g and HSPA+ part.
Yes, it will work. T-Mobile M8 will work on AT&T network for 2G, 3G, 4G, and LTE. T-Mobile M8 and AT&T M8 are the same phone, except the T-Mobile M8 has more bands to support T-Mobile's network.
This is AFAIK, if I am incorrect, someone please correct me.

In short: 3G will work, but since AT&T’s 3G network is limited to 21 Mbps, you will only get half of the potential speed. 4G will mostly work, but the T-Mobile version does not have the radio/antenna for AT&T’s 1900 MHz network, meaning you can only get 700 MHz and AWS. 700 MHz 4G should be nationwide, though. See the deals below.

Just to be clear, you want to take a T-Mobile M8 and use it on AT&T, correct? I’m assuming this is the case since you are in the T-Mobile M8 forum.

You’re close, but the T-Mobile version had fewer LTE bands. Just FYI, 4G is LTE (bad marketing not withstanding). Here are the frequencies of the T-Mobile and AT&T M8s:
2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G - WCDMA:
AT&T: 850/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps
TMUS: 850/AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps
4G - LTE:
AT&T: 700/850/AWS/1800/1900/2600 MHz
TMUS: 700/AWS MHz

Note that 4G on AWS and 1900 varies depending on the market, so you need to find out if they offer it on those frequencies in your area. You should get 700 MHz everywhere.

If you're a current T-Mobile customer, I'd call their customer service and ask if they could help. I'm not sure if this helps.

Im wanting to know also. I might switch to att in november, and it would be nice to know for a fact that my tmo m8 will work, instead of buying a new phone.

Can't we just flash AT&T radio and stock ROM?
Have a TMO M8 and wondering about the same.
Should I return and bite $50 restocking fee or there is a way to make it fully functional on AT&T? Need to make this call in a day or two. Please help.

Hi... sorry to drag this back up but looking at purchasing a T-Mobile M8 on Craigslist and using it on AT&T.
If I sim unlock the phone, install say a stock GPe ROM and the WWE radio... it should unlock all the LTE bands for use on AT&T? And the rest of the world, correct?
Just trying to confirm before I buy this.
Thanks guys!

It should work, I have an unlocked T-Mobile m8, flashed cm11 and still work on att
Works
I have a t-mobile M8 and using ATT sim card. I can send pictures.
Everything is working pretty good. At least in my area. (San Diego)
