USA/Mexico compatibility - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hey everyone, I updated my question and post it in the right forum, so here is it :
I'm gonna buy a S3 4G LTE on kogan in australia, here the frequencies according to the description :
2G Network 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
3G Network 850, 900, 2100MHz
4G Network 800, 1800, 2600

(I think it's the SGH-I747)
I'm going to travel around USA/Mexico, I found the map of GSM world coverage, its says for those countries :
2G 1900 850
3G 1700/2100, 3G 850/1900
Will the 3G be working in thoses places ? (i'm just worrying about the frequencies in bold, 1700 and 1900Hz)
Cheers

[Q] DO all AT&T trills have UMTS850 & 2100

Can you tell me the differences with the Trill and the p925G and p925H. I live in NZ and would like to purchase a phone that is compabiblywith the XT network from my understanding I should be able to purchase a At&T P925 phone but unsure.
The Bands I'm after are 3G (I think this is also known as UMTS) 850 & 2100Mhz, does the At&T phone cover this, ie if I purchase any AT7T p925 of Ebay it will have these freq.
The main reason I didn't go for the p920 is that is doesn't have the 850.
The AT&T branded thrill uses the following...
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS: 850, 1900 MHz
Ta, do they have 2100?
It does. All the smartphones I got from AT&T have the 2100mhz
http://www.thrillbylg.com/thrill_by_lg_specs.pdf scroll to the bottom for HSPA+ band.

Does the d4 use both 2100 and 900mhz 3g bands (europe) ?

Does the d4 use both 2100 and 900mhz 3g bands (europe) ?
I'm thinking of importing one or the samsung relay 4g, but do both smartphones work at 900mhz (much stronger signial here) ?

Not sure about that, but I can confirm you that 3G works perfectly in Spain with this mobile
Here are the bands supported.
2G Network CDMA 800 / 1900
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 13
I have a Droid 4 in UK, and I can confirm HSDPA is working, but couldn't go higher than that, probably 4G is working only on 700 MHz, which no operator has in UK: hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Europe

I just purchased a unlocked xperia z, which was imported from Singapore. From what I read this phone should work on the T-mobile network, but all I'm getting is 2g. I put in the T-mobile APN and even tried scanning but all it shows is 2g. Any insight as to what's happening? Thanks!
The phone has these bands:
Networks
GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900
UMTS/HSPA+ 850, 900, 2100
LTE Band I, Band III, Band IV, Band VII and Band XX (800, 850, 1800, 2100, 2600)

Nope. Only 2g. It does not have the 1900 hspa/umts band. U need the c6602 model number. Will get nice hspa speeds on att networks tho.

[Q] Stuck on EDGE data connection.

Hey there.
I bought my Moto G v2 a few weeks ago in the US, but I live in New Zealand. Because of this, my data connection is stuck on edge here (woo hoo 0.19mb/s download).
Does anyone have the modem files or something?
Did you check the 3g band used by your carrier?
Its unlocked?

"2 Degrees uses GSM900MHz (older 2G technology), UMTS 2100MHz (new 3G technology) and also can use GSM1800MHz and UMTS900MHz"
I have the US version of the phone, which uses different frequencies to the international version.
Yes, it's unlocked.
I was under the impression that it is a hardware thing and you'll not get 3g there with the US model.

2100 is international & us model is missing this.

Would a US991 model work on TMobile?

This is a model made for US Cellular. Its GSM tho and unlocked.
Its super cheap right now and tempting.
Looks like it has 2, 4, and 12 LTE bands.
What I'm not sure about it the 3G bands (it has 1900 and 2100 but not 1700, would that cause a problem?) and 2G (in case im in the boondocks).
This one has:
LTE Bands 2/4/5/12/13/17/25, CDMA 800, 1900 MHz, WCDMA 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz, GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Anyone know more about this than me?
thanks
