Hi guys,
Just like to know whats tmobile's edge coverage like in the uk, im on tmobile as is my partner we live in inverness she gets 3g, as mine is only a 2g phone (elf) i get gprs, have not yet found anywhere where i get edge coverage are tmobile not rolling out edge in the uk.?
Have you checked the "reported" coverage on the T-Mob site - http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/coverage/street-check/ - it gives the coverage for 2G and 3G, but no mention of EDGE.....
Might be worth a look?
Mark.
Since the Nexus 4 is unlocked and will work on at&t or T-Mobile is it possible to force the phone to roam on T-Mobile with an att Sim? The at&t coverage is spotty where I live and I would love to test the T-Mobile hspa+ and signal strength before possibly switching.

you wouldn't have access to Tmobile's HSPA+ speed if you roam. I know I don't get att's HSPA+ network when I roam from Tmobile to At&T. If you want to try it out, you have to go to a Tmobile store and ask for the phone.
Alright guys I am switching from Verizon to a prepaid GSM ... I have been with Verizon for a long time and Im wanting to get the N4. Im needing to know what is the best prepaid GSM carrier out there. Where I live ATT has the better coverage over Tmo. So with that said, leaning toward an ATT network branded carrier. Such as straight talk...will I be getting HSPA+ with straight talk or just 3G?

Great! thanks for the reply, so it looks like I'll be getting all the stuff that the big carriers offer (ATT) but be paying less..
Just be aware that without LTE, you will only be getting 21Mbps on AT&T. Tmobile provides 42Mbps where coverage allows. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm a current Verizon customer who will also be switching.
Speaking of HSPA+ im on the website of Straight Talk and it has the option to choose an unlocked sim that runs off 850 and 1900....or i can buy the ATT or Tmo exclusive....Which one should i pick? Im wanting 3G and 4G (hspa+) if possible. And i have been searching online to see what the frequency is for HSPA+ no luck...
They only offer two (well 4 since each comes in two sizes) SIMs.
The T-Mobile version which will work on any unlocked phone or T-Mobile phone and run off T-Mobile Towers; or
AT&T which will work on any unlocked phone or AT&T phone and run on AT&T towers.
If you choice the unlocked device option it will pick the AT&T or T-Mobile SIM based solely on which offers better coverage in your zip code.
I picked AT&T since despite there HSPA+ having half the theoretical throughput of T-Mobile, T-Mobile's availability of HSPA+ in my area is very poor.
The phone determines the frequency that it can run on, not the SIM card, so running an unlocked AT&T phone with a T-Mobile SIM (and vice-versa) can lead you to not get all speeds available on the network. Since the Nexus 4 is compatible with all frequencies your choice is down to who offers the best coverage/speed in your area.

Thank you so much for the reply you given me the answer I was looking for. It seems as though what sim card i want to purchase is the ATT one. Cause ATT in my area is much better than TMO. And if i pick the ATT i will get the 3G and 4G (HSPA+) thanks again.
Hey,
I'm not sure if this is the appriopriate thread, but my question is about network.
If anyone can give me there input, it would be awesome! I have Galaxy S4, M919V, but i got LTE working on stock original rom via i337M rom.
Can anyone tell me about Bell Vs Rogers network, overall for coverage, speeds, calls, reception for 3G, 4G, and LTE? please. Any advantages with either one of them?
Also, does Fido uses 100% network of Rogers? Or Fido uses 1/3 of Rogers network - the towers. Similar to how virgin mobile uses 1/3 of Bell's towers?
I'm sorry for posting it in the wrong thread, just wasn't sure :S.
Thanks!

Where do you live?
Bell and Telus share towers so coverage is fairly good. That said I find Rogers fine in the GVA.
I was with Telus for a while before I jumped to Rogers for this device.
Rogers has 2G coverage and Bell/Telus don't.
Rogers and Bell have band 7 LTE which allows for a wider channel and more bandwidth.
I think Fido shares all towers with Rogers.
Also, you may be able to find more answers on howardforums.
Hi all
Im running the 7.0 ROM, bootloader and radio from tupac4u and am getting terrible reception in the UK most noticeable in the Poole/Bournemouth and south area.
I was on pure nexus previously and had the same issues.
I am roaming from NZ and usually it connects to Vodafone UK and sometimes EE.
Has anyone had any issues with reception here with the USA model phone? (I know 4g won't work but 3g+ is still hugely spotty and even call GSM reception and network is terrible).
Is there anything i can do? My colleague has a s6edge and gets better reception than me most of the time and we have the same mobile servive plan.
. thanks

These gsm bands should be supported by the US model:
850 GSM
900 (E-GSM) GSM
1800 (DCS) GSM
1900 (PCS) GSM
Scouce: https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/GNoeA/google-nexus-6p-h1511.
Me personaly i would never buy a US model for the EU/World market.
Thanks for your response. I am just wondering if there is a UK radio I can flash to get a better signal in general. My colleagues with similar banded phones get much better reception so I am just wondering if it is something to do with the 6P?
I'm in the UK for work, and on roaming .. if I lived in the UK I would have purchased a global model for sure.
Cheers
