I ordered an unlocked 3g huawei e220 modem and it wont connect at all, I am trying to connect to Bell mobility's 3g network in Canada.After putting the Apn for bell and connecting through the ppp widget , it keeps saying "dialing out" and nothing happens. The modem has a continuos green blinking light too.
Can any one please help me here, I am getting so frustrated with this now
I know it's late but this 3G modem is not compatible with HSPA frequencies in North America.
Specs are:
HSPA on 2100Mhz Band for E220
Edge/GPRS: 850/1900
Bell do not have like Rogers 2G Gprs and have only:
Bell HSPA 850/1900, LTE Band 4 (AWS), Band 7 (2600)
Sorry!

Hi I have a HTC Surround Unlocked (by Imei) but I cant get 3G (UMTS850 Mhz) by carrier is Tigo Honduras have 3G 850Mhz but the phone only get gsm 850MHz, any Idea, What happen?
hi, you have to unlock the bands, to make the phone unbranded after this you will be available to get either gsm or 3g
Hi! would someone please tell me if there is a way to find out if I have a
US Model: UMTS850, UMTS1900, UMTS2100
or
AWS Model: UMTS900, UMTS1700, UMTS2100
"System View" app says it is HSDPA 850/1900/2100, but no other app says that kind of info.
I have an unlocked dvp I got from ebay, the seller said twice that it is a UMTS850..., like for at&t,
but
the problem I have is that there is no way I can get 3G signal here in Costa Rica, I have a 3G sim also, with 1MB internet but the phone only gets "Edge" signal for 128kbits/s internet, I have 3G option enabled btw, and I also messed up with EM, and the RF power stuff was set to UMTS 1700, I changed it to 850, setted and that doesn't changed anything.
Tried some test in the tmobile section and some tests say WCDMA disabled or something like that.
Also if someone know a way to force WCDMA / UMTS / HSDPA ?? of enable it?
or set manually frequencies, or know which version I have.
BTW! internet speed works as it should be on a 3g datacard con my pc, but not on the 3 cellphones I tested.
Hi all,
I am desperately looking for a solution to the above problem.
Background: I moved about a year ago from Germany to Canada. My HD2 worked well with the sim card from Telefonica/O2 on the network over here. The phone itself is not locked but branded. Anyway when I tried to change to a Bell sim card it did not want to work. So I looked up the frequencies. My HD2 works on the following frequencies:
GSM1800
GSM1900
GSM850
GSM900
W-CDMA(UMTS)
The providers over here have the following frequencies:
Telus (including Koodo)
2G
CDMA 850/1900
EVDO 850/1900
3G (and fake 4G)
HSDPA 850/1900
HSPA+ 850/1900
UMTS 850/1900
WCDMA 850/1900
1x EV-DO CDMA2000
Bell (including Virgin Mobile, PC Mobility)
2G
CDMA 850/1900
EVDO 850/1900
3G (and fake 4G)
HSDPA 850/1900
HSPA+ 850/1900
UMTS 850/1900
WCDMA 850/1900
1x EV-DO CDMA2000
Rogers (including Fido, Petro-Canada Mobility)
2G
GSM 850/1900
GPRS 850/1900
EDGE 850/1900
3G (and fake 4G)
HSDPA 850/1900
HSPA+ 850/1900
UMTS 850/1900
WCDMA 850/1900
I thought at least that with the frequencies like CDMA and GMS matching I could use any provider that works with these frequencies. Obviously I was wrong there Anyway I want to use the phone. Can anyone out there help me and get me the information which provider would work with the phone? I would use anyone as long as I can just use my HD2 again.
Thanks so much for any kind of help.

EU HD2 will work on gsm in Canada but looks like will not match 3G wcdma used in Canada.
I used my EU HD2 in Canada on Rogers for a week & was fine on gsm.
Do check in phone settings to see bands are set to auto or gsm only, if set to wcdma only then will not connect to anything.
Not much you can do on 3G issue as hardware & not changeable, the australian Telstra HD2 & USA T-Mobile Hd2 is more compatible as hardware supports the 850,1900 & 2100 wcdma bands ....

Thanks Mister B
I was with my German sim card also on Rogers. I just did not know if the phone would also be able to handle the local sim card. I will try Petro Canada or Fido. Rogers is a little expensive. Anyway thanks. Gives me hope

Hey all,
I just wanted to give a feedback on my recent experience. I yesterday checked at a Fido shop and I can confirm that it works. I now can use my HD2 again :good::victory::victory::victory::good:
I will get a sim card next weekend and then will see how to update my phone to something more current.
Thanks again for the tip Mister B

Hello
I bought a YD206 and installed russian rom.
It connects to H or H+ 3G network properly. Otherwise, the device does not connect to EDGE.(2g)
AsThe 2g network is complementary for 3g, the device is offline in the shades of 3g network.
Have anybody had same problem before?
I am using congstar, germany. It uses tmobile network. My contract has only 2g and 3g netzs.
The band is,
Name Interface
900 (E-GSM) GSM
1800 (DCS) GSM
Name Interface
B1 (2100) UMTS
I though YD206 has all three band width, doesn't it?
Do I have to set-up some properties?
You need to flash 'chinese' radios:

That is exactly what I was looking for.
Works perfect! Thank you!!!
All network version bought from China (LEX720)
should work with AT&T (band 2/4/5) as it shows It works with
FDD-LTE: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20
TDD-LTE:38/39/40/41
WCDMA: B1/2/4/5/8 TD-SCDMA: B34/39; EVDO:BC0/BC1
GSM：2/3/5/8; CDMA: BC0/BC1
seems ok to call but no data (tried with Verizon sim, works good)
I am in Michigan 48161.
Check Sim card status shows Network type HSPA (only can connect to At&T 3G, see At&t 4G but can not connect to)
Service status show Data in use but cellular network state show Disconnected
anyone knows why? thanks.
can I fix it by chance the settings?
