I bought an unlocked Audiovox SMT 5600 on Ebay some time ago, at that time I was not aware that it did not have 900 Frequency that is used here in Norway, I can use the the phone some of the time because it contain the 1800 Freq. that is used when the 900 is overloaded (that how I think it works).
So my question is: is it possible to get 900 freq. or is that a hardware issue, if it is is there a place where I can tradeit in to a mobile that contain the 900 freq.
It is running the latest french Orange ROM .
Thanks in advance for any response.

Hi,
this is the first time im working with with pdas so im totally new in this area. I bought one i-mate Jam and im using ok with one card provider, yesterday i change for other provider and i dont understand why my pda cant get network with this new provider.. i try to make a manual search and no information. the pda is brand new and i also contact the provider to see if is not barred and all is 100% ok... can someone knows if this can be fixed or have any ideia about this?
regards
For sure your unit is SIM locked. There are threads on how to unlock. Please do a search.
the pda is not locked becouse acept card without any problems... the only problem is dont get network of one provider.
What are OS ROM and Radio ROM versions in your unit? If it's an old one try to upgrade to the latest. There are a number of ROM's available in the FTP
Try your new SIM in other phones and see if it works ok. Also try borrowing from friends SIM of the same provider as your new SIM as well as SIMs from other providers.
The magician is a tri-band device build in two flavors:
- 850, 1800, 1900mHz
- 900, 1800, 1900mHz
Could it be the one provider which doesn't work is operating on a non-supported band?

hi,
i flash this pda few hours ago and i still have the same problem.. i was looking in other sites and i found something about this problem.
Exact this models have to versions:
PM10A (900-1800-1900 mhz) and PM10C (850-1800-1900mhz) and the one that i have is PM10C. I have to find one way to convert it to PM10A so then i will be able to fix this problem.
When you find the way to change a PM10C to a PM10A or vice-versa you're the man! It's hardware specific & not build in the rom :-(

i know someone that can make this change but dont share with no one... i cant do a lot becouse i have only PM10c in hands and i dont have any PM10A to compare the boards.
I just did a search with the keyword "850" and there are 2 pages of threads about this. All threads confirm what what OLTP mentioned - the radio frequencies are set via hardware components and no software or hack can change it. In fact, "Reo" mentioned that he modified the hardware of his unit to make it into a 900/1800/1900 MHz unit.
The 850 and 1900 MHz frequencies are used in the USA, while the 900 and 1800 MHz frequencies are used in Asia, Australia and Europe. I'm pretty sure that your new SIM supports only the 900 MHz frequency. Ask your current provider or check their website to find out what frequency they use. If your provider supports only the 900 MHz, then your last resort is to change provider again.
Hello, I have an Imate Jam 850 / 1800 / 1900 . Is it possible to get it working on the 900 Frequency ? ?
First of all please do a search since there are threads about this already.
To answer your question, the answer is yes, but this requires changing the radio components of the unit.
Hi,
PLEEEEASE SOMEONE REPLY... OR HAVE I POSTED IT TO A WRONG FORUM.... Should I have posted it to The ROM Developers forum so someone can HELP
I am new to this forum.
I bought a HTC T3232 in Asia with HSDPA/WCDMA network supporting 900/2100 MHz and GSM/GPRS/EDGE supporting 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
I want to use the phone in Canada on the Bell HSPA network but unfortunately Bell supports only HSPA/WCDMA 850/1900 MHz
I read somewhere there is a way to unlock all the 4 frequencies on the phone for WCDMA by doing some ROM upgrade or changing some radio button, but I did not get any more info on that.
Please reply - anyone who knows how to open up all frequencies on this phone for HSPA/WCDMA
Details of my Jade can be found on the attachments (photos)
Appreciate Help
I am at wits end here....
After lugging one of these all the way to South Africa, I find that the phone refuses to connect on the UMTS 900 band. The phone is stated as having support for this WCDMA frequency, as can be seen on gsmarena as well as several other reputable sources. Do I possibly have a different physical radio? Or is it possible for me to overcome this problem by flashing a new radio? Lastly, has anyone ever managed to use this phone in a 900 UMTS environment?
Thanks in advance people!
