Is anyone else using their G1 with something other than T-Mobile/Vodaphone?

I'm just curious if anyone else is using their G1 with any other carriers. I'm using mine with AT&T and I love it, even if EDGE is a tad slow (but way better than GSM/nothing).
BTW, I heard something about AT&T implementing WCDMA for their 3G networks- is this true? If it is, that means I'll be able to get 3G on my G1 right? :]

Yes, I use mine with AT&T. AT&T already uses WCDMA for 3G, but it's on a physically different frequency than T-Mobile's 3G, so the T-Mobile G1 (which only supports T-Mobile's 3G/AWS bands) will never work on AT&T's high speed data network.

I am in the UK, and I use T-Mobile UK as my primary carrier. However, I do travel once in a while, so I got my phone unlocked and I always use a local card wherever I go.

I am in India.I use Airtel on EDGE.

AT&T here, bought the G1 at Wallyworld last Monday.

Using my unlocked TMo-G1 (not rooted) on Vodafone in Ireland.

O2 in the UK and i get 3G

Not G1 but ADP1 (because its better). Fido (Rogers) in Canada. No data plan at all since CDN data rates are retarded. No loss though since WiFi is everywhere

Fido in Canada

I was using my G1 on the 3 network for a few mounths.

i'm using an ADP1 in the UK on O2 network (pay monthly).
Works just great apart from the occasional 3G connection issue, but I strongly believe that to be my local area - I've had trouble with O2's connection at my house on different phones and with different O2 SIM cards.

I am in Bahrain. Using the G1 with Zain bh. the phone jumps from 3g to edge depending on location, but it has always been very reliable. BTW, mine is a unrooted, unlocked version running on rc33.

I have used my G1 on 3 networks in Honduras Tigo, Claro and Digicel works perfect now if i could only figure the last apn for the other carrier and i be set having tried it on all.

I use a G1 T-Mobile unlocket in Spain tried with "Movistar" and "Simyo", 3G/UMTS works great with both networks.

I'm using the g1 in hong kong with 3 and smartone. No probs at all lol

Im using mine in Dubai at Etisalat , 3G and EDGE are both working very well and pretty fast too.
Using JF ADP1.5

1 month trip to USA - prepaid internet?

Hello,
I live in Germany and I'm going on holidays to the USA (California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona) for one month (august to september).
As I can't live without internet I thought of getting some kind of prepaid SIM-card over there with a data plan.
Now I don't have any clue which provider I should chose, where and how to get a prepaid SIM, which offer etc.
What would you recommend me?
I heard that the coverage isn't that good in the US and as I'm planning to go to some outlying places too, I'm aware that I won't have reception all the time. But that's okay.
I just need a SIM to do some calls and to write a few mails or check Facebook from time to time – I guess it'll be around 200mbyte and 1 hour calls for this month.
As I have a European phone (NexusOne) I need a GSM network of course.
Best regards and thanks for your help in advance,
lauslein

If u go to Indonesia, a lot of prepaid GSM & CDMA cards could be chosen here

Interested too, will be going to Arizona next summer.
Basically, I only need data and maybe a bit of texting.

seeing that u have a nexus one,,,which bands does it support? the tmobile or just europe? i suggest tmobile if u want 3g but they dont have data plans
at&t does but no 3g i'm sure
its 20$ on at&t for 100mb of data and 20$ for unlimited texting(sms) even to germany i think

Thanks for your reply!

Good question, I'll have to look this up. But I got it directly from Google (Device Seeding), so I guess it's some kind of an international version
20$ for 100MB sounds fair (even though I pay less for 1GB HSDPA at home) . The trip's going to be expensive anyway, so I'm willing to spend some money on that part, too

3G Users in India

Hello everyone.
I'm from Bombay, India.
Currently I'm using Vodafone EDGE and the download speed is 30kbps and upload 20kbps. Well I find it too slow.
I wanted to know if any there is any 3G user in India.
Need some reviews on BSNL/MTNL 3G and what other service providers for fast connection.
Does anybody know when other service providers are coming out with 3G service in India?
Thank you

I'm coming to Delhi at the beginning of December and would love to be able to pick up an Airtel SIM with 3G at the airport. Hopefully it is available in Delhi by then!

Hello,
I'm from Karnataka.
Activated 3G from bsnl. 4200rs for 6months unlimited upto 7.2mbps speed. Brought data card from ebay instead from bsnl.
Its running very well here. Getting upto 4mbps and may get more sometimes.
I'm able download 1.5gb in hour. Today morning I have downloaded COD Black Ops and playing now.
However, it depends upon tower and signal. Now I'm getting 100kbps, no idea whats wrong. Should check tomorrow morning.
Thanks...
Best Regards

Hey nice to see your name. My name is also same!
I too got 3g from bsnl but since yesterday night ( Saturday ) I'm getting upto 256kbits/s only. Don't know whats wrong. I have tried using my HTC phones but same problem.
In 1 days I had downloaded 8 gb game but I'm guessing is it because after 8 gb the speed comes down to 256kbps.
Hope it isn't or else I have lost my hopes on 3g.
p.s I have 4200rs unlimited

nope, I don't hear anything about 3g usage there. Just the balance and validity.
However, good news is I'm getting 4mbps again today so its back in action.

[Q] Does the UK HTC HD2 work in USA?

title sums it up really. im going to america for about 4 months and wondered if my UK HTC HD2 will work over there. im currently on t-mobile in the UK, but the phone is unlocked. im going to be travelling around a bit, but a bulk of my time will be in new york/new jersey area.
if not any advice on a handset that does work? id like to keep people updated with my trip so twitter/facbook access is important.
any advice on what network and what plan to go for? to be honest the first 3 months i will probably pick a pay as you go sim, as i will be working and will have access to twitter/facebook and a phone provided. it is the last month that i will be travelling around and is when data access will be important.

Hi,
I am a UK vodafone Hd2 user.
I travel with work to the US, including NY, 1 week every month and get a reasonable service. The main issue is that Edge is the best service you will get.
I do not swap SIM's but use roaming, 1 week is not too bad with data and call roaming packages but expensive for full time.
All other functions work fine including GPS

You mean you cannot 3G in US? Is it because UK phones don't operate on the 3G bands in US, or because your operator does not have 3G roaming in US?

thanks for the advice. im with t-mobile so il have to look at their roaming packages. im mainly based in new jersey/pennsylavania areas, can anyone reccommend a network with a good reception? im going to call t-mobile a bit nearer the time and see what they can do, maybe they can transfer me to a US plan? the main thing i wanted to know is am i better of buying a phone when i am out there, buying one in the UK that is unlocked and says USA compatable (quad band i think?) or should i stick to my HD2?

Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E120S

I am thinking of getting one of these from the US. Now I am in the UK and at the moment have a 3g data plan with Vodafone. Will be leaving the UK in a few months to live in AUS which has a 4g network so will upgrade to 4g then. My question is will this phone function with my 3g data plan in the UK till I move.
Thanks
