I am going back to Thailand next year. I will get this Galaxy note 2 unlock and take it with me.
However, in my country has 3G on 2100 MHz with 3 main carries as follow.
3G
Carries name Band
AIS 1950 MHz - 1965 MHz and 2140 MHz - 2155 MHz
TRUE 1935 MHz - 1950 MHz and 2125 MHz - 2140 MHz
DTAC 1920 MHz - 1935 MHz and 2110 MHz - 2135 MHz
I was trying to understand what it says on box of Tmobile Note 2.
GSM Quad-band: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz UMTS: Band I ,band II, Band IV (Dual-band1700/2100 MHz), Band V
I don't get it much and I am not 100% sure that the phone does support 3G in my country.
Please some experts in here could help me confirm this. Would you please answer this for me? I appreciate every reply and thank you for your time.

I think you should be good to go... The International variant has fewer bands then we do on our T-mobile device so I wouldn't expect that you would have any troubles...:fingers-crossed:
A quick search reveals the following frequency bands in use in Thailand:
•AIS:
GSM 900, GSM 1800, UMTS 900 [VIII]
•TOT3G:
GSM1900, UMTS 2100
•DTAC:
GSM 1800, UMTS 850 [V]
•TrueMove:
GSM 1800, UMTS 850 [V]
The T-mobile Galaxy Note 2 supports the following frequency bands:
HSDPA: 850 [V], 1700/2100 [IV], 1900 [II], 2100
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
Judging by this, it seems like your best bet is TOT3G, DTAC, and TrueMove for UMTS functionality. All three of these have frequency bands supported by the Galaxy Note 2.

That's old information. These frequencies were used temporary.
They just auctioned the frequencies for 3G in Thailand. The auction is approved by Thai government. I have described the range of frequencies at the first post. But I am not sure it is in 2100 MHz. Any idea?
Thank you for reply.

I have a bell GS3 that is unlocked can I use a t mobile sim card in it and get the 3g data or is AT& T the only one that works?
The Bell site says the GS3 supports the following:
HSPA/UMTS compatibility
UMTS 850/1900/2100 MHz
GPRS/EDGE compatibility
850/900/1800/1900MHz
and according to wikipedia T mobile USA has these:
850 MHz/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA
1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE 2G .
1700 MHz UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ 3G/4G
1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ 3G/4G
1700 MHz LTE
So I am fairly certain that as long as the area I am in is serviced by that 1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA I should be fine right? Obviously no LTE speeds buts thats ok I dont even use it as home since it is such a battery pig.
anyone have some input it would be greatly appreciated?
I have a att gs3 which I unlocked and now using on T-Mobile, it works good but a lot of times it switches to edge when there is 4g available. I believe there is a way to fix it by flashing t mobile radio but I dont want to brick my phone so I havent tried.
We (Austrian family) are about making a trip to the US (NYC, PHX, Grand Canyon, Tuba, Page, Kanab, LAS, SFO, LAX) and I am wondering which telephone provider / mobile plan I should choose regarding 3G data.
I think the ARC S LT18i has 3G in the bands 900 and 2100 (no AWS).
Band....frequency....Uplink...........Downlink
I...........2100......... 1920–1980.....2110–2170
VIII.........900............880–915,,,,,,,,,925–960
f-Bands UMTS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
Following Infos from http://prepaidwithdata.wikia.com/wiki/USA
AT&T:
2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE): 850 and 1900 MHz
3G (UMTS/HSPA): 850 and 1900 MHz
4G (LTE): 700 and 1700/2100 MHz(AWS)
T-Mobile:
4G & 3G speeds require your phone to support AWS UMTS (1700/2100 Mhz), otherwise you will only get 2.5G EDGE (requires 1900 MHz GSM PCS supported phone).
2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE): 850 and 1900 MHz
3G (UMTS/HSPA): 1700 and 1900 MHz
4G (LTE): 1700 MHz
Readysim: uses T-Mobile ???

1. Does this mean I wont have 3G, not even EDGE with any of them ? only 2G EDGE ?
I think the worst part of our trip regarding coverage will be from Grand Canyon to Las Vegas.
2. Which provider would you suggest ?
My quad band GSM is 850/900/1800/1900 mhz edge/gprs/gsm, tri band UMTS 850/1900/2100 MHz HSPA and dual band 700 and 1700 MHz LTE networks.
SGH-I317M
Im on version 4.3.
A solution would be really helpful!!
