Unfortunately thats not a baseband issue, its a matter of the ATT Streak not containing a radio for the T-Mobile 3g bands, so there is no way to get T-Mobile 3g on your unlocked AT&T branded Streak
Boo thanks that's what I've been reading u guess time to sell my useless to me dell

I just bought my Streak unlocked directly from Dell. Is it capable of 3G over T-Mobile?

Hi guys I have one question that maybe was already asked here,so I am sorry if I am asking stupid questions.. Anyway, I want to give my galaxy s to my brother but we are not using the same network, and my phone is locked to my network. So how safe is phone unlocking ? what is the procedure for unlocking the phone and is it shortening phones' life? Also,my brother will be using it in another country...Thanks in advance!

I've never had a problem unlocking a phone.
Just buy an unlock code online. Check eBay first.
After you have the unlock code, give the phone to your brother and when. He inserts his SIM card, he will be asked for an unlock code. Once he enters it, he can use the phone...

Interesting, I thought it was much more complicated than that.. I am in Serbia now using Vip mobile, my brother will use it on Vodaphone Malta, you think that there would be no problems if I buy code from uk ebay? Is it than unlocked for every other network in the Europe? Thanks

Just make sure that your brother's network is compatible. (AKA he uses a SIM card and that the network specs are compatible) and you should be fine...

Ok,but how should I know if they are compatible? What should I check first?

I'm interested in buy this mobile phone in the USA, but I'm from Spain, and I need to use with Vodafone ES, It's possible to unlock and work's in Spain?
Because I read that use CDMA.
Very confused. The phone will work but isn't your phone the European version? Two different software's. Wish I had more info for you. I'm sure others will chime in.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Check the CDMA frequencies on your Spain Carrier and you'll need an Android Phone from Spain to port it if you want data. Otherwise, if they offer flashing, you could be stuck with only calls and texting working without data.

Hey there,
I am in the US and plan on buying the AT&T Nexus 7 with 3G.
Since i will move back to germany in a few weeks i would like to know if it is possible to use it in Germany (since, you know, the US has some odd Networks)
Thanks for any information
Its unlocked so yes. At least with Deutsche Telekom or vodaphone

thanks for your reply. i wasn't concerned about it being locked but rather incompatible Network modems.
If it works on Telekom or Vodafone it works on every Provider.
Can someone else confirm that the Radios are compatible with European/German Networks?
The N7 supports T-Mobile frequencies and my T-Mobile G1 worked perfect while I was in Grafenwohr, Vilseck and in the bars/clubs in Nurenburg so there's no reason it won't

Thank you, too! I am gonna buy a 3G Nexus7 soon Let's hope someone gets voice calls working
If you have Google voice you can download grooveIP and use that to make calls with since its a VOIP app. Would work great since unless Telekom's plans changed since I was stationed there they kinda suck lol

I am a UK resident and I wish to purchase a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. It's quite expensive in the UK although I was wondering if I bought it from the US, due to the currency conversion rate, it'll come out cheaper (I've previously bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) from the US and the overall cost still came out cheaper if had I bought it from here)
My main concern is that will the phone still work here in the UK I.e will I still be able to get calls and will my existing sim card still work (I have no problem with getting it unlocked) ?! I was asking because of the different carriers and antennas and what not. I am not a person uses LTE as my current tariff doesn't support it so I have no problem with that being like the deciding factor. I'm currently on the 3 carrier in the UK. Thank You

I'm not fussed with warranty as I tend to take care of my devices plus if it allows me to get it cheaper, Im happy
Bought my n9005 on amazon.co.uk from amazon directly, not any third party sellers. Got the european model, was a decent price too.

Don't H3G use different frequencies? I know H3G phones were a pain in the butt a while ago due to their oddball requirements, but I would imagine flashing the H3G btu firmware would resolve any "issues" as it would include their modem.
Am I barking up the wrong tree here?
As long as you don't buy it locked to verizon, sprint or at&t then it will work fine, because those networks are cdma I believe. And as the UK doesn't have any cdma networks, only gsm, the device won't work.

Att is not cdma.
Yes, the ATT note will work on 3G and 3G+ networks for your carrier in the UK. 3 has no GSM (2G) and only uses the 3G 2100 band. The ATT note 3 has the following 3G bands: 850/1900/2100MHz

Except for 3. Like in Canada with Bell and Telus. They have no 2G but Rogers does.

There are threads on here about region lock. You have to insert the 'territory' correct sim card for 3-5 mins and then lock will be removed. ou can get it removed by ringing Samsung or you can root and remove it that way.
PS... It would appear that you didn't get a clear answer on Android Central Either!

To the op, if you are not fussed about the LTE, then Note 3 from ATT or T-mobile will work on 3G in the UK. As mentioned previously, do not buy from Verizon, Virgin, etc as they are CDMA phones and will not work in UK.
Another option is to buy from amazon USA if you are currently in the US. Get the International version.

You must be in USA because you need to use an American Sim card first so that the region lock will be removed but I could be wrong. Whereanouts are you in UK? For maybe 50 quid worth, I would just buy feom UK. Its not worth the gamble and hassle for me
Put serious value on the warranty on a Note3 .. its not quite such a bullet proof phone as a note 2.
Also I got one here in UK at a great price just a week after launch by getting it on Voda contract then unlocking it for EE use. There must be some cheap deals in UK now surely.

I'll give it some good thought although I can't seem to find any good deals and I'm not exactly the wealthiest person so I'I'll take any cheap option can get, I'm already on a SIM only contact so I just want to purchase the phone by itself
