How the 3 network sim work on unclocked XDA

I run the unlock exe file on my XDA. Now it accepts Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile but not the 3 network. Any idea why ?

Erm because "3" is literally as it sounds. 3rd Generation. Orange/T-mobile etc etc are all 2G. Yes they have all released/releasing 3G networks/phones, but your device is a 2G phone. It won't support 3G SIM cards. Sorry.

well the early 3g sims did work in 2g phones of cause not on the 3g network then it would just roam 2g networks like 3g phones does when they cant get a 3g signal
but 3gblocked it in later models as far as i heard

does the htc wizard support UMTS and 3g simcards?

i guys,
could any one confirm if htc wizard supports UMTS or not and also 3g simcards.
thanks

nope sorry

it is not a 3g phone and does not support UMTS ...BUT yes it will work on a 3g simcard..i have one

just as rockin figs said, it will work with a 3g/UMTS sim card, but you will not be able to access 3G/UMTS data speeds. I'm using a 3g/UMTS simcard now but can only do edge data speeds.

3g

I have a line with 3G Enabled ......On Jamin..
Is there a way i can trick my jamin to use EDGE as a modem for 3G??????????

No.
Having a 3G SIM in your Jamin will make no difference. It simply does not have the hardware needed for 3G network.
EDGE is 2.5G (works with regular SIM) and unless your network supports it, you can not use it.

GPRS vs Edge question

My brother got the new Iphone and has now upgraded our phone service (we have same bill) to have unlimited Edge service. Does GPRS use a different type of network than EDGE or can I use the EDGE network but not get the speed becuase of the hardware capability? And if I do connect to GPRS will I get billed differently?
Thanks

edge is 2.5G where gprs is 2g and umts is 3g
the g stand for generation
phones and sims are normaly backward compatible as
if they got out of edge or 3g covering they would be useless
but not forward comaptible so if a 2g use a 2.5g sim it's at 2g speed

T-mobile 3G

I have the t-mobile wing... and i remember reading that tmo is going to rolling out its 3g network by this summer. can n e one tell me is the wing capable of connecting to this 3g network or with i have to get a new phone?
