T959 Dual band or Quad band?

Hello all,
I'm confused a bit. Is the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant T959 Dualband or Quadband phone. According to T-Mobile web site it's a Dualband. According to XDA it's a Quad Band... Which is it?
Thanks

I might be wrong but I think it is quadband GSM voice/data.
Tri band 3G, has both T-Mobile 3G bands but only 1 of the At&t 3G bands.

It is Quad band for GSM network (voice, Edge). That means it will work in any GSM network around the World.
It is also Tri-Band for 3G network (1700/2100, 1900, 2100). The first band is the AWS that is used by T-mobile and a few networks in Canada and south America. The second one is used by AT&T in some areas. The last one is used in most Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia.

Which LG G2 are not compatible with Europe?

I want to buy a phone to a friend of mine in Europe but I have no clue that what frequencies are not compatible with the models of LG G2. I am excluding Sprint and Verizon models.
How about T-mobile and AT&T versions? Are they compatible and do they have a sim card slot?
Thanks in advance

All versions have a SIM card slot, but you'll definitely need to find out which frequencies your friend's carrier uses in order for us to be able to help you. You wouldn't want to buy a T-Mobile one and then find out you needed a Verizon one in order to get 3G in your carrier (happened to me).

If you don't know on which carrier phone will be used to check for bands and radio frequencies, AT&T LG-D800 is your best bet. It supports almost all of them excluding LTE bands.

I wonder what are the frequencies of T-mobile and AT&T versions? If I get them, I can find out the European frequencies. Any hint?

@Alex
So it seems both versions are compatible with Europe. Thanks man. Appreciate it.

The D803 Canadian version also includes some of the LTE European frequencies.

[Q] Is it possible to flash different radios to gain GSM?

I've been at a loss on what to do with my Note 3 since moving to St. Louis. I was at first under the assumption that since it has a sim card slot it could be unlocked and used on GSM carriers and boy was I wrong. The USCC variant does not support GSM at all, and only operates on CDMA. I'm not accurate in my assumption but I assume that the US Note 3s all contain the same hardware but different radios flashed to the chipset preventing access to North American GSM. And now the challenge:
With Root and recovery access is it possible to flash a radio from a GSM variant and match the kernel and then subsequently a GSM Rom to turn the USCC into a GSM capable device?
To start I have found the following infoModes

Going by the website the ZTE A2017G will support those bands

It's at the bottom of the page under system information
Tossing up between this or the Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe , which ever turns out to be more developer friendly

T-Mobile compatibility?

So, this device looks pretty sweet. And it might be a good upgrade from my Note 4. The only question I have is, will it get LTE on T-Mobile?
Since this whole sub-forum is dead, I guess I'll have to wait until some people get their hands on it over here.

I am also wondering the same thing but C9000 doesn't support any of the TMO LTE Bands. Need to wait for Samsung to release the C900F in the future
Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

In Germany are available these networks:
Code:
h*t*t*p://www2.pic-upload.de/img/32558011/Screenshot_20170125-120812.png

I use it in UK on EE network and i get 4g with it. no issues so far

I'm in the Netherlands, and I'm waiting for the C900F to come out. Anyone know when is gonna come out?

Thanx. But still not in Europe It's expensive in India, plus those units have region lock. Anyone know where I can order one without region lock?

Singapore phone are all unlock but not sure of export set. C9 cost ard $600 for export set.

Thanx. Any good website you can recommend?

I have the Asian version which was bought in Hong Kong.
I can confirm it doesn't work with O2 and partly with 3 (Three)
When i say partly with 3 (Three) is because it will pick up LTE on the 1800 MHz where available and not the 800MHz
Whereas o2 is completely on the 800MHz range and therefore unhelpful.
4g.co.uk/4g-frequencies-uk-need-know
according to the above link, you can get LTE on frequencies 1800MHz and 2600MHz depending what mobile provider you are with and the availability in your area.
Bottomline, 800MHz/Band 20 isnt supported on the C9 PRO.
My question is are the supported Bands software or hardware enabled??
If it possible to unlock the 800MHz via software??

SM-C900F should support 800MHz/B20.

This is what I found to compare.
T-Mobile uses these bands:
GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850 (B5)
UMTS1700/2100 (B4), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1)
LTE850 (B5), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE2600 (B7), LTE1800 (B3), LTE1900 (B2), LTE700 (B12)
The Galaxy C9 is compatible with these bands:
2G bands: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900,
3G bands: HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100,
4G bands: LTE2100 (B1), TD-SCDMA2000, TD-SCDMA1900, LTE1800 (B3), LTE2600 (B7), LTE900 (B8), TD-LTE2500 (B41), TD-LTE2600 (B38), TD-LTE2300 (B40), TD-LTE1900 (B39).
The important numbers to look at are T-Mobile using 850/900/1800/1900 and the C9 getting 850/900/1800/1900/2100. That covers what we need for what T-Mobile calls 3G. Note: What T-Mobile calls G3 is called G4 by other companies. Thus what they call 4G is 4G LTE only. So by these numbers, T-Mobile actually gets 4G. IF I understood correctly what I read
As for 4G LTE T-Mobile uses B1/B2/B3/B4/B5 and B12.
Of the T-Mobile bands, the C9 is compatible with only B1 and B3 as well as a bunch of irrelevant ones. This means that if you are in an area where T-Mobile is using B1 or B3, you are in luck and will get 4G LTE. If not, you will have to be happy with 4G.
However, I came here trying to find out how to set it up and which of three slots to put my T-Moblile SIMM card into, so this didn't help me at all.
I hope it helped you!!

Ugh, I finally received the C9 Pro C900F/DS for my wife (got it from Malaysia), and turns out I was mistaken after all: It does NOT have Band 20 (I used 'LTE Discovery' app to check). I was under the assumption that Samsung's "F" models are the global variants, and always have Band 20. I guess I was wrong.

anyone using the C9 pro in Canada? is it compatible with any service provider's LTE?

Mine was able to use the 3G HSPA + before I update to 7.1.1. After official update, I only can use EDGE. I need help!!!! How do I know is my hardware problem or the software problem??
