This hero is the Telus Canadian version and if you read the descrip it says CDMA but everything else says GSM, so which is it? I want to use it on ATT
Since this is the telus canadian version would I be able to use it with ATT 3G on cheap 10/month medianet plan?
Hoping to get this phone soon with your guys help, thanks
That looks like a gsm hero. Looks just like mine which i use on at&t. Except since that one is telus, it is compatible with at&t 3g network. I have a malaysian hero so i can only use edge.

Do you have a internet plan? If so which one
Does att force you to have a pda plan?
I dont have a internet plan, too broke =(. at&t doesnt force me to get one because they dont know what phone i have. heros are not at&t branded so they dont have my imei number. if you have at&t branded phones like iphones they will force the data plan on you. but for our case we can decide for ourselves whether to have a data plan or not

Hello to All,
I have a T-Moble MDA (wiza200). I've unlocked it and all is good. I have cricket service provider right now for 55 US a month, unlimited everything. However as many already know 95% of there phones suck, and all of there phones are WAYYYYY over priced. I wanted to know
Is there a way I could use my t-mobile phone with cricket service?
My first though was no due to the fact that cicket dosen't use a sim, t-moble dose.
I was talking to one of the tech's at cricet who deal with transfurring phones from one companie to there's (IE: Verizon to CricKeT). He told me that if I re-flash the phone with there rom then yes I can. I just can't seem to bring myself to give them 250 dollers for them to do that. Please if anyone could help that would be one of the best days for me .
Thanks a million!
No, you can't.
Tmobile uses GSM phones, Cricket uses CDMA. No go. You can only use Alltell CDMA or Verizon phones.
Can someone tell me how to unlock the Tmobile US version of the HD2? I would like to use it on At&t in the US.
Thanks!!

Very Interesting
It's an awesome device, too bad mine didn't come with the microSD card that has all the T-mobile games and goodies..
also, the camera doesn't seem to work..not sure why. i was told that the device i have was a test unit that tmo used to test the rom w/their network..etc.

I used leo.unlock-now.com to unlock my device that was locked to T-Mobile UK and they have T-Mobile US on the website. It's quick too. took less than 30mins for my code to arrive.

Can someone explain to me, or point me to a thread, why a US T-Mo phone would not be compatible with AT&T's 3G? I am thinking about buying a HD2 and taking it to AT&T because I have no T-Mo coverage at work. But tethering and data rates are critical to me.
Thanks
Because TMo decided to be clever and chose a spectrum for their 3G service completely apart from everyone else (save for Wind Mobile in Canada.)
You'd get EDGE at best.

T-mo uses different bands than at&t for 3g. You would only get edge speeds on at&t with a t-mo us hd2. If you get the australian telstra HD2, you can get 3g with at&t.

I don't understand how you were able to buy a TMO version of the HD2 from craigslist when the phone hasn't even been released to the stores. More than likely you bought a foreign HD2 that has been unlocked for use on any GSM carrier.
Like other threads have stated, TMO and ATT 3G use different frequencies. IF it is a TMO HD2 you won't be able to use ATT 3G and vice versa. Also, this phone being a foreign HD2 (more than likely), you won't be able to use 3G on TMO. Though, maybe on ATT.
Anyway, I digress, in order to unlock the phone for use across GSM carriers, you have to obtain the unlock code either from HTC or TMO (or ATT) and need a "foreign" SIM card to input the unlock code. The unlock is based on the IMEI of your particular phone and thus is unique to each phone.

HD2
TMONEWS.COM is saying it will release the 24th of this month.
I have been a t-mo customer for like 8 years so I called them last night and after some beating around the bush the rep verified the 24th (they are not supposed to leak anything on this phone until it drops) He also said it will be $449 buying outright or $180 for existing customer and a 2 yr extension.
Once I got this guy talking (which took a while) he really began spilling the beans so I am pretty pleased with the info I received.
I'll be standing at the T-Mo door at 9am on the 24th to get this beast.
Even the T-Mo rep compared it to several other models (Nexus one and others) and he said it's a beast and gonna give the iphone some stiff competition.

Hi,
Sorry if this is already posted elsewhere. I did a search and couldn't find a definitive answer. I was just wondering if I were to get my x10a from Rogers unlocked, would it work on Bell or Telus?
yes it would work with Bell or Telus
Really? Those useless Telus reps I called can't even confirm to me that the phone is able to run on the Telus network. I even told her I had friends that had this phone on the Telus network. -.-
Oh well! Time to get mine soon, hopefully. Sigh. Long way to go!

Are you sure?
I had a LG chocolate from telus before my x10, and I know it didn't have a sim card, I don't think any telus phones have a sim card... I have never tried to set up a phone from another carrier into telus, mind you, I just know that you can't bring a telus phone to another carrier that uses sim cards, because there isn't one.

Well there site says they use em.
Quick Google result
i think people have trouble with updates without using the authorized dealers.
You are better off with rogers even it is expensive.
im using the x10a from rogers on bell right now, got it unlocked and it works perfectly. =)
Use X10a on TELUS, work perfectly.
Make sure you enter the right APN information for the data connection.
TELUS runs on UMTS/HSPA 850MHz, 1900MHz.
X10a supported 850MHz, 900MHz, 1900MHz, and 2100MHz
been with all 3 canadian carriers in past year. i must say rogers is not only marginally cheaper then the other two, but are more "with the times" .
bell is just horrible, they seem to think the iphone 3gs is the latest greatest phone......riiiggghhtt... bell and telus both have horrible cust service..
sorry to vent but instead of going through the hastle of putting a rogers phone on a crappier network....just switch!!. and as of this month rogers 3g speeds are over double what i got with telus and bell...

Who knows, they might want ANOTHER service provider to broadcast 4g. I mean, they own Fido for lowend phones, they're releasing chatr soon for god knows what, Rogers loves to split stuff off.

I'm using an x10a I got from Rogers on the Bell network. It works fine after you unlock it. After you root it, it gets rid of the Rogers splash screen as well. The only catch is you have to manually input Bell's APN or your 3G won't work.
The only reason I stuck with Bell is because of a deal I got through retention to renew my contract. I wouldn't be able to get anything if I sign up new to Rogers. Which begs the question, why was I with Bell in the first place...

As far as I know.. From MY own experience. Rogers .. I would like to say
The name that suits them best is "Robbers"
Telus by far has the most superior cust service and because I am on a rentention plan I will stick with Telus. Of course I want my Xperia x10 on the network & YES I will get my phone tomorrow and hopefully everything goes right.
I'm just glad to find out the x10 works on Telus network
Hey Guys,
I am thinking of buying a Galaxy Tab, but I am unsure of which carrier I want to go with.
I am from the UK, but living in the US. I do go back to the UK occasionally, so want something that works there - this would mean I would either need the T_Mobile or the AT&T versions.
However, I believe that AT&T and T-Mobile use different frequencies for their 3G signal here in the US, with AT&T being the only one that is the same as the UK/EU.
I was wanting to to with the T-Mobile version as I read somewhere that their speeds would be faster, but if 3G is not going to work in the UK, i'll pass on it. T-Mobile also had a subsidised version which is also an incentive.
So, do any of you guys know if the hardware radio has this frequency limitation or is it something to do with the software? I ask this because my AT&T blackberry was able to connect to T-Mobiles 3G network while I was over in the US last time so it is possible to havea radio that can connect to both.... Perhaps they did not do this though for cost savings....
Why don't u buy a Euro tab. There was a post stating he could use the Euro tab with both voice & data with AT&T sim. No hacking was needed

I couldn't guarantee you that a TMo US Tab would work on UK 3G, but what I can say is that my TMo US G1 worked fine.

Hi, i'm buying a Samsung galaxy s3, and i worry about bad ESN phone that i can't use on my tmobile account.
For that reason, i think i will pay for a s3 ATT ( if ATT s3 is a bad ESN phone than i still can unlock and use it with my tmobile account, right? )
But i hear someone said that if i use a unlock ATT phone then tmobile data plan won't work on that att phone. I don't know if this is correct information or not.
Can someone help me out?:crying::crying:
Thank you very much.
Also Is there anyone to avoid bad esn phone on craiglists?
Furthermore, is there anyone to buy a bad ESN Tmobile phone, and somehow i can use it with tmobile ?

well you're in the wrong section. you want to go to the s3 section for this.
but to my knowledge. at&t s3 is not compatible with tmobile's 4g. you'll get EDGE speed. but once tmobile has their LTE towers up and running it should work.... NEXT year lol
no you can't used a t-mobile blacklisted phone back on t-mobile.

First of all GSM networks (T-Mobile, AT&T) do not use ESN. Only CDMA networks (like Verizon, Sprint) use it. T-Mobile and AT&T use IMEI numbers.
Second of all, unless you live in an area that T-Mobile has begun to refarm their 1900 mHz band to HSPA+ you will only getEDGE speeds onT-Mobile with an AT&T phone.
If you are so worried about buying a T-Mobile phone with a blocked IMEI number, why not either wait until you have enough money to purchase it directly from T-Mobile or meet the person you're buying from at a T-Mobile store and have the IMEI checked before you buy?
