It's CDMA but it's **NOT** Global (this is the reason why.)
Touch Pro2 is a global phone, that's why it has a SIM slot and you can unlock it to use on other GSM networks.
4G replaces the need of SIM card on their global phones. Read up on how 4G works, you will quickly understand why. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G "4G may allow roaming with wireless local area networks"
I've been searching around and I can't get a definite answer...
Can the vibrant pick up the AT&T 850 MHz 3G network? Is there any way to turn on this feature?

Yes. The 1900mhz I believe as well. Idk what you search but Google "Vibrant on at&t 3G"

Use SGS Tools. Select secret codes. Scroll down to band selection and it will give you all the options.

I've turned every band on, but I'm still only on edge...

Are you using the correct APN settings?
Don't really know what mine is set on but im running bionix v and my vibrant is unlocked and it works perfectly on 3g att so it will run on 3g

I can get 3G in other areas, but not here, which leads me to believe it's just a 850 MHz band.
I can take out the SIM and put it in an iPhone and it picks up 3G just fine, whereas the vibrant is stuck on edge. It's frustrating to keep having to reboot the phone to pop out the SIM

Its got to be unlocked doesn't it to work on att 3g network don't it?
Here we go again...
Here we go again. If you are referring to the T-Mobile USA Vibrant, it does not have support for 850Mhz UMTS bands. Period. The FCC says so. That is pretty definitive as far as I am concerned. It does not matter what some piece of software shows you. The hardware is not capable as it sits in the T-Mobile USA Vibrant. Search the FCC database for the Vibrant. GSM 850Mhz ≠ UMTS 850Mhz.
Pretty sure it's just 1900MHz. The FCC documents would have included the 850MHz band if it was really there.
Edit: Lol, yeah what he said.

Thanks for clearing it up now comes the dilemma of deciding whether to use the vibrant or an iPhone that uses the 3G speeds...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Tmobile Vibrant does have capability to operate on ATT 3G network.
I could get it working with iphone sim card.
Specification also includes ATT frequencies.
Att is using two frequencies for 3G.
If it don't run on 3g then why does my vibrant have a 3g data icon and is blazing fast on it?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
It runs on 3G in areas where AT&T uses 1900MHz for 3G. It runs on Edge in areas where AT&T only uses 850MHz for 3G.

No. No it can't.
Jesus Christ. Is it really that hard to not respond when you clearly don't know what the hell you're talking about?
Yes yes it can like I said I have a us vibrant and it switches between e witch is edge and 3g don't know how but it has a 3g icon that tells me that its on 3g if it not then why does it say 3g? And it is a beast on 3g on every once in a while it will have a H icon most of the time it SAYS 3G!!!!

Precisely.
The Vibrant does not have 850mhz 3g support. Only AWS(1700)/PCS(1900)/IMT(2100) 3g support.
Wow...just wow. Seriously, the FCC does not generally lie about things like this. And no, I don't think it is a big conspiracy in this case...lol

I'm not sure what this is about. Maybe it's just wishful thinking run amok...seems like most of these people either want to switch to AT&T or bought the phone intending to use it on AT&T, have since found out that it won't work in their area, and are refusing to ultimately admit to themselves that it won't work.
People like to think to themselves, "Well, maybe the FCC screwed up and I DO have a pentaband (or quadband?) 3G phone." The slightest bit of uncertainty encourages such thoughts...there are threads with jokers enabling the fake 850MHz menu selection and exclaiming, "OMG, I have AT&T 3G on 850MHz" when they already had it on 1900MHz. People who bother googling the question ahead of time will no doubt find some older, confusing threads.(Albeit they will hopefully find more and more threads with people like us saying "No, it's not in the FCC docs," etc.)
We should have a sticky or something about this lol.
Yes, I googled it and found conflicting reports which is why I came here to clear it up.
Thanks again

What's the best option from a UK perspective?
My play has the option to connect to either, or both with cdma preferred.
Im sure youre meaning wcdma and gsm... In which case wcdma is 3g network and gsm is 2g

As far as I'm aware we don't use cdma in the uk the cdma option translates to us as 2g
And does it say wcdma?

Anyone managed to get T-mobile data working on an unlocked Rogers Focus? I've put in the apn for T-mobile, but can access data at all...
Don't think it is gonna work for T-Mo, they use AWS 1700/2100 do they not?
Nope they use 850/1900just like att does, wind mobile uses aws in canada

I believe he meant T-Mo using AWS. So a Rogers' Focus will only get you on 2G service on T-Mo US, not 3G.
Hello Everyone.. Need an Help. I want to know is their any way to use an CDMA sim in Galaxy 3 ?
I don't think you will be able to use cdma sim as frequencies used in our phone and the sim are different (a lot).
This is why the same phone is released twice (once gsm and other cdma) in some countries where cdma is used more
T mobile 3g frequency in america is about 100 Mhz more than what most of phones over there can operate at. That is why it lost popularity.
If there was a way why would phones have a limit to their frequecies

Do CDMA phones even use Sims? I'm pretty sure the network is built in to the phone.
