How can I make my HTC Magic roam on ATT's 3G network instead of Tmobile? We don't have 3G coverage on Tmobile in my home town, but I would like to see if I could get the phone to work on ATT's network. I have rooted my phone and it's not unlocked. If I unlocked the phone could I use the Tmobile SIM card on Att? I've also tried selecting ATT's network, but it won't switch. Thanks for the help.

There is not a way to make your phone show ATT if it is in coverage range of T-Mobile plus the 3G network on att uses a differenty frequency than Tmobile does so even putting a ATT sim in an unlocked mytouch or g1 would not show 3G.
I feel your pain i am waiting for cincy to get 3G as well.

i have a mytouch 3g and i want to roam on at&t network and when i try to click at&t says that the sim card is not registered to this network.
Be nice to see this one answered. I've never worried with it until I was riding down I-40 from TN to NC today and ran into the same issue. Weird thing is, I would roam every now and then on AT&T's network, but couldn't select it to manually jump on their network.
i just want them to terminate my contract i have free roaming but it still costs them money and they send you warnings to stop your roaming if not they have to terminate the contract lol i know someone that works for tech support in sprint and she tells me she sees this often
anyone know?
Hey guys,
I'm using AT&T Service on my HTC HD2 w/ Android. Everything's great except for the lack of 3G (since the bands AT&T use are different from T-Mobile).
So I was thinking, what if there was a way to roam onto T-Mobile's 3G bands?
But the thing is, I go to the Network Operators list and I only see AT&T. But I know there is T-Mobile service here because my relatives have T-Mobile and do get service here.
Here's a screenshot of the Network Operators screen:
Any ideas?
Not a huge deal as I am near Wi-Fi most of the time, but it would be nice to be able to use 3G

Get a sim card.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I don't want to switch providers. I'm more than happy with AT&T's voice service.
Set your phone to MANUAL NETWORK SEARCH, then scan. T-Mobile should then show up in the list but you won't be able to access the TMO network with your AT&T card.
T-Mobile and AT&T do not have roaming agreements. You will need a T-Mobile SIM to access T-Mobile's network.
I bought a Htc Verizon Trophy and had it factory unlocked by Verizon . Popped in my AT&T sim card and it only gets edge and not 3G . I performed several hard resets and entered the correct APN settings and still no 3G. T-mobile sim card works also but edge is expected. Voice and Internet work great but I was under the impression that it was dual mode and has the AT&T 3G radios and should work on 3G.
Any suggestions or pointers on getting the 3G working?
Thanks
Download "HTC Connection Setup" under the HTC apps in the Market. Select AT&T from the settings and it should help you out.
Also, make sure your AT&T area offers 3G coverage. In my area of Northwest PA, 3G coverage is almost none existent. Basically, if your sim allowed 3G on another phone before, it should be okay (or check AT&T coverage map).
Be careful, I used this program to set my Verizon settings and now I can't get data on Verizon anymore. . Guess that's what I get for playing around.

Did you restore your trophy to a backup from before you used HTC connection setup? I just did the interop unlock for my trophy as well and I cant get 3G data back. Im hoping restoring the phone to an old backup will fix the problem. Verizon better not have somehow blocked our phones from getting 3G!
I wanted to get my att phone unlocked for tmobile but I wanted to know first will all the bands work on the tmobile network? Will i get LTE, hspa + etc. ?
I got my SM-G900P phone Internationally and Domestically unlocked, and while I can get voice to work on a T-mobile sim, I am unable to get data to work.
I'm currently on the stock Sprint 5.0 rom, I have also rooted the device.
I have also added the T-mobile APN, and have the network set to T-mobile, but still no luck
I'm not sure what I should do to get the mobile data to work.
Wondering if I flash a T-mobile rom, would that brick the phone? And would that unlock the bands?
Any and all help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
bump for some help
I know Sprint operates on CDMA while T-Mobile uses GSM technology.
I don't know if the G900P has the hardware capabilities to operate on GSM LTE bands. But it is interesting that you got the voice to work!
Try this page. He had a Verizon (CDMA) phone and got it to work on the AT&T (GSM) network. So apparently it is possible, and your situation is similar in trying to use a cdma phone on a gsm network.

Thanks for the link!
I already had tried what he did previously, adding the APN, sadly that didn't work for me . And once I had unlocked the phone I enabled GSF and got the voice to work. But sadly that's the farthest I've gotten
