Iam using a sim unlocked at&t sgs4 in india on tata docomo network. I have a 3g internet plan but then also I cannot get 3g speeds. The mobile data sign reads 4g! Is this some band incompatibility or something. Help me!

Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I was hoping you all may be able to help me wiht a concept I have for the Tytn II. Currently I am purchasing the Tytn II from Cincinnati Bell. This phone is identical to the AT&T Tilt. Its not the Euro version with the second camera. Cincinnati bell has informed me that this phone will not work on their 3G network because they are going to be using the 1700/2100 bands and the phone does not support the 1700 as it needs to support both bands. Athough AT&T states this phones works at 3G on their 1900 ban network.
So heres where it gets good. Cincinnati bell uses AT&T's network for roaming. Is it possible to use this phone at the 1900 ban on At&T network when i am raoming and receive the 3G speeds (providing I have a 3G sim card). As well is it possible to force the phone to use the AT&T network while I am here in cincinnati,OH instead of the Cincinnati bell network.
I guess tmobile is putting up a new 4G network, but will this phone work on their old AWS 1700/2100 network at 3G speeds? I want to get this phone and use it on the Wind Mobile network which uses the same standard.
Thanks!
EDIT: Oops, my bad, the Epic is on Sprint! Nevermind.
Hi All,
I posted this in the SGS4G section, but feel I may have some luck here..
Is it possible to force data roaming to pick up an ATT 3g signal? I have Tmo but only edge where I live (USA), and for $30/month data edge just isn't going to cut it!
I have messed around with "service mode" to select a specific band frequency, but I either get edge or no service at all.
On a side note, my sgs4g is unlocked and I was able to get 3g when using a straighttalk sim (again ATT signal). Is it possible to get connected when using a Tmo sim?
Another thing I tried was (using my Tmo Sim) editing the APN settings to wap.cingular and THEN using service mode to switch frequencies. Doing this I was able to get the 3G icon, but my browser showed an error "No data connection"
Any Ideas? This could save me a HEFTY E.T.F. .... :/
no tmo and att uses different frequencys so they cant roam of each other.
My sgs4g allows me to select from 850, 900, 1800, 1900 as well as "wcdma" 1700, 1900, 2100. I am pretty sure att is at least one of those frequencies, especially since I got full 3g service with a straighttalk Sim.

That phone should get HSPA+ from T-Mobile. Are there no 3G towers in your area at all?
When I travel outside of my town (an hour of driving) I can pick up 3g, and in more populated areas I can get 4g. Friends of mine have 3g in my town through ATT (they have ATT service plans), but I can't seem to connect.
I've been reading online that ATT doesn't allow roaming for data from other carrier plans, so I am not sure if this is the true problem or if there is a way to circumvent it..

You got it. This is why the straighttalk (or an at&t) sim makes it work. There is no roaming on at&t's network with a t-mobile sim.
Does the Note work with any networks 4g? AT&T or T-Mobile maybe?
Does it work with T-Mobile's 3g at least? If so, any idea what is up and download speeds are?
Im thinking about getting this phone.
It works on ATT's H+ "4g network", 3g network, and 2g edge network.
and T-Mobile's 2g Edge network, not 3g or 4g.
And it should work on any other GSM Carrier in the US, just check the frequencies for 3g internet(if its the same as ATT, and if it is, it's most likely a subsidy of ATT anyway)

wow, im glad i asked. looks like i'll have to move to at&t then. No way could I use this phone on just 2g
Dear friend,
I am having SM-N910G (Stock Android 6.0.1) WITH AIRTEL 4G sim since Airtel launched 4G in india.
Since then the only problem is that i am getting 3G speeds on 4G network. I get around 1.8 or 2Mbps downloading speed not more than that. Also it shows 4G in Status Bar not LTE.
Please help.
Warm regards.
