Hello guys! I'm using the I747M variant which I bought from Rogers about 8 months ago and I want to know if I can switch to other carriers network here in Canada via unlocking because Rogers' available phone plans are just a pain in the ass so I want to switch networks. So please kindly share any information regarding unlocking and changing carrier networks. Thanks in advance

Once unlocked, It is guaranteed to work with Bell and Telus.
Hope this helps :good:
Search for it, it's around here in the forums for free. You just need a simcard from the next provider you wish to go to.

How about on other networks such as Mobilicity? My mom is on a plan on Mobilicity and I also want the same plan because my phone is kinda useless without internet and not even a caller ID.
once unlocked it'd most likely work
but for the data part, i can't really say because different mhz on different carrier network..
so 70% chance that you will only get Edge in your area
Does anyone knows any information on how to change radio frequencies on a phone? I've seen some SG3 on ebay.ca that is labelled as "Pentaband" and could work with any carrier network here in Canada. Can someone please explain to me how does this work? And is it possible for my phone to be converted into a "Pentaband" phone?
Mobilicity does not use the same bands as Rogers, Bell or Telus for its HSPA/HSPA+ service. As Pcshano said, your phone would work on Mobilicity, but only on Edge.
You encounter the same problem as T-Mobile users in the US, and WIND and Videotron in Canada. See [WIP][BOUNTY] Enable 3G on 1700MHz for ATT Galaxy S3 i747 on efforts to enable HSPA on 1700MHz on the i747.
I am trying to get more than Edge out of a Tigo SIM in Honduras. 'I'm only here for a month and then back to Verizon. Anyone have any experience with international GSM SIMs ? Disappointed that this is marketed as a global phone and can only get Edge. Thanks for any help.

You are wrong.
This model is not marketed as "World Phone" is just for calls not for data and the problem is not Software is Hardware since 850MHz bands are locked on HTC From Verizon and from Sprint, there is no way to unlock those bands, in fact is open to Asia and Europe bands not GSM American ones, just maybe TMobile but not any other.
Sorry but you will have to live with this matter.
Hi there ,
I have an s4 sgh m919 from tmobile and I live in venezuela I already unlocked the phone but it only receive EDGE signal because my carrier lte 4g uses the lte band3 (1800mhz) wich this phone doesnt have.
Is there anyway to "unlock" that band ? Or I have to buy the international version?
Please don't make multiple threads for the same question. Especially when you have already asked the question is an existing thread.

Hi guys... Im from Panama and i have a question let tell a little background
Here in Panama we have 2 providers that have LTE and uses band 28 this is why i bought my zenfone from taiwan with band 28 reception... this is the problem i put my sim card from one of the provider and guess what didnt got LTE and they told me is becuase is my phone that is not allow in their network (they are selling phone which is LTE ready according to them) But i friend of my put his simcard of his samsung S6 from the second company (uses the same 28 band) and my phone got LTE rightaway... So is somthing the provider can do to stop phones coming from outside getting LTE? Right now my phone is getting HSPA+ that is H+ but nothing else
And in the screenshot my phone is detecting the network which is the first LTE that you see. The second LTE with Forbidden is from the other company from which my friend have his simcard..
Thanks for the help
