I see that the Nokia Lumia 2520 (Verizon edition) operates on the 7 LTE band frequency. As I am a bit unfamiliar with Verizon's LTE network, I know that my local mobile operators (GSM) in Norway run at the same LTE frequency. My question is this: Will the North American Lumia 2520 Verizon edition, work with a European GSM operator on the same LTE frequency? Namely 7.
I would also be very much interested in this.
BTW, where can I find out which bands the tablet is using? Thanks

And.... is it PentaBand ?
It is.

Wonderful !
So the key spec for T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity users in North America is the WCDMA 1700/2100. Seems that could easily be confused with LTE bands that are listed 700/1700/2100.

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but couldn't find any info. I'm interested if anybody knows if a t-mobile Lumia 900 will run on the AT&T network, and if so under what bands? I haven't been able to find any information on whether there's a hardware difference radio wise between the two or not. Or if it would be locked in any regards.
Thanks all!
T-mobile 3G runs on 1700Mhz and 2100 Mhz. AT&T 3G runs on 850Mhz and 1900Mhz. It is possible that new T-Mobile phones also support 1900Mhz for 3G.
Both network use 850 and 1900Mhz for 2G.
So, it really up to the specific phone to support additional bands. You will have to find the detail spec for that specific phone (I'm not aware that T-Mobile even have Lumia 900).

Are you referring to a European division of T-Mobile when you ask about a Lumia 900? T-Mobile USA only has the Lumia 710; they don't have the Lumia 900.
I have a factory unlocked Lumia 900. And my Area is about to get 4G connection.
Will I be able to use it?
Somewhere I remember reading about 4G being exclusive to AT&T... I'm not sure.
Thank you in advance.

If your phone is model RM-808, you have 4G support. If it's RM-823, then, according to our current knowledge, no. (The RM-823 is missing one PA chip compared to the RM-808 - however, I doubt that that's the only PA used in the RM-808 for 4G. AFAIK the RM-808 is 4G multiband.)
EDIT: The RM-808 supports LTE on bands 700, 1700 and 2100 MHz.
It's an RM823... No luck I guess.
Thank you for the reply.

Only ATT version has LTE, all other versions have 3G only. Good news is that if you have T-mobile LTE works in most major cities after you run Nokia Network Setup program.
Only for T-Mobile USA. I guess the OP is not American.
band 7 2600 Supported by i337 and m919 band 7 used in Europe and Canada
The i337 (AT&T model) does the same LTE bands as the T-Mobile model. It only lacks AWS HSPA+ (3G), which the mod in this thread enables. I would have gotten the M919, but T-Mobile doesn't sell the 32GB model, plus AT&T variants are generally cheaper.
No model sold in the US (including the i9505G Google Edition) will do 800 or 2600 MHz. The i337M does though (Rogers Canada). Europe uses completely different LTE frequencies than the US.[/QUOTE] END QUOTE

The m919 according to this supports 2 and 5 bands that the i337 does not, i am new to this but as i said i picked this phone for international use aswell and would like to know the truth. But according to my information, Vodaphone in Germany uses to main bands 7 and 20. 7 Being the one that the US variant could receive.
since the I337 is basically the same in Canada, i looked up Bell
Bell :
Bell Canada 1700 4 FDD September 2011 [75][76]
Bell Canada 2600 7 FDD March 2012 [77] available in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Toronto for additional bandwidth.
Both 4 and 7 are support by both devices, since 7 is on freq 2600mhz in Canada and is the same I337 as AtnT would it not be right to assume that the phone could get band 7 in europe? It is true that AtnT does not use those bands in the US but that does not mean the phone cannot support them. Furthermore i picked the M919 because of its native AWS support and the 30$ 5GB 4GLTE Tmobile Plan BOYA talk about savings..... I am curious to know if im correct, my research lends me to think I am. Europe uses mostly band 3 and 7! 7 Being the one you want!

They list there LTE in MHz but i believe 2600 IS band 7 which the US variants support. My confusion is that AWS is listed in there LTE part and in the US its under the HSPA part. A little clarification and first hand experience with internation use of US variant S4s would be great for poeple who have trouble getting good information from the other side of the world!!
Worst case tho im sure you can always get texting and calling and stick to Wi-Fi while travelling, but to us super-users, thats like going back to dial up.
Lol why are you copying and pasting my posts? As for your question, AWS is used for LTE on T-Mobile (and in very few areas by AT&T, which is why their devices also do AWS LTE). However, AT&T requests that AWS HSPA+ be disabled on their devices because they only use 850/1900 MHz for HSPA+ and it would only benefit those looking to switch to T-Mobile if they left that 1700 MHz band activated.
just found this article on mobile syrup explaining that bell is going to be decommisioning their cmda towers in january 2017
http://mobilesyrup.com/2016/08/15/bell-cdma-canada-2017/
will this affect oneplus 3 users because i heard that this phone uses CDMA networks
if the oneplus 3 operates on CDMA wont this affect bell and virgin mobile users?
EDIT:
The OP3 North America model supports
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/4/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/12/17/30
CDMA EVDO: BC0
So once bell shuts off this network the OP3 should be able to operate with WCDMA and FDD-LTE
Bell hasn't really been using their CDMA network for awhile now. They have been using GSM phones for quite some time now and slowly made the transition for those who were still using CDMA phones.
So, nothing to worry about here. Bell is just making it official that they are shutting down their CDMA network.
