[Q] If I buy an international galaxy s3 will I get 4G - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I live in las vegas and seems like were getting 4G on international devices. Will this work on the galaxy s3 international and htc one x international? How are the speeds?
Thanks

Tmobile users can only get edge on the int. S3

I know it works the other way around.

I wouldn't take the chances with las Vegas. Although they are refarming Vegas isn't the best place for T-Mobile. It's on and off a lot

It will work on hspa+ I get between 6-9mbps in las vegas área with the iPhone which is the same bands as htc one x and gs3 international, I'll post screen shots tomorrow

I think that's how it is no matter where you're located with T-Mobile. :\

As said previously, I wouldn't count on it for day-to-day service. If it works in Vegas chances are Vegas is the only area you'll be in that it works. T-Mobile is very slow with this whole refarming business

Yup Vegas was recently refarmed so any international or at&t device will work there.

I'm in Houston and there was only 2 locations of the city where I was getting lte a few weeks ago but about 2 1/2 weeks ago, I no longer got lte in those areas anymore. I was thinking that sprint was just in the testing phase. But I've been all over Houston and have no gotten an lte connection. I got a faint one yesterday over the Northwest side of town but it lasted for about 5 seconds.
I just hope we get it soon

I'm in phoenix. and those results look a whole lot more like HSPA+ to me. biggest indication of LTE right now is insanely fast (10+mbps) upload speeds.
no LTE for me here in east phoenix yet. but i'm in a marginal signal area.
I'm in West Phoenix/Glendale area. I've not seen LTE over here either.

You can grab Phone Info and set your radio to LTE Only. If you still have data, then you are not 'trippin' and have an LTE connection.
What is your speed though? I'm getting pretty good speeds here in the D.C area.
It was only on for a bit, my speeds were no where near what you got.
