Hi Guys,
Is it possible to use the Republic wireless device on an international GSM network?
I want to buy one in the USA and take it back to AUS and use it, but can I?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm thinking of purchasing a Diamond from Sprint as I liked my old PPC-6700 until it was stolen . I'm headed to Japan next month and wondered if it would be possible to use the Diamond in Japan if I buy a Softbank SIM.
So specifically:
1. Does the Diamond sold in America for Sprint come not only with a CDMA Radio chipset but also one that supports the high frequency GSM Japanese network.
2. Would the phone settings allow use on another network or am I limited to use on Sprint's network only as is the case for CDMA phones sold by Sprint currently.
thanks,
Raj

if your device is sim-unlocked and supports UMTS, you can use a softbank sim with it. we do not have gsm networks in japan.

Your sprint diamond will not work in Japan with a softbank sim. It might, however, work with your american provider by roaming on AU.
Hi All,
I currently live in the USA and I have a AT&T branded Kaiser and a Hyperdragon III BlackStone ROM on T-Mobile USA network.
I know that the phone does not actually support T-Mobile's USA 3G network but could anyone tell me if I can take advantage of the European 3G networks with this phone? I'll be travelling in the UK and Spain and would really like to use it as amodem for my laptop when there is no wifi around.
Any info would be appreciated
anyone know?
I'm in the US and want to buy an unlocked, international version of the I-9000, probably from Singapore, probably on AT&T.
Will Samsung release "generic," non-carrier specific ROMS? Or will that be all from the excellent developer community?
I'm hoping it would still do high-speed 3G because it covers some of AT&T's 3G bands???
Thanks!
Eh. You cant get a international version in usa. If you get one from singapore it will be international ver. It will have problems on at&t as they use 850/1900 mhz for 3g while international ver uses 900/2100mhz. Before you buy a device please make sure the 3G radio will work with your telco. If you are in usa then buy one from the telco you will be using as it will be set up right. But for rest of world we can get away with standard international gsm ver

Hi. I am concidering to buy a Galaxy Tab 10.1 from the united states. But i was wondering if it would support the norwegian GSM network ?
Somehow i got the impression that Europe and USA have different types of technologies to connect phones to their carriers..
Becase we have _INSANE_ taxes here in norway, i'm guessing it will be much much cheaper having a friend sending it overseas from the us.
But i need to know if its compatible with norwegian gsm-based network.
Edit: will all tabs be cdma only?
Also: bump

Theres no way they will all be cdma, and what are the networks you use?
Some will be gsm, some not (i think verizon is cdma, tmobile is gsm; gsm needs sim card). Just make sure that the model you buy requires a sim card. Then it will work. Alternatively you could get one from Canada.
It's possible, but consider two things (as above)
1. get a GSM tab (onw with a simcard slot)
2. have it unlocked (sim lock removed)

Unfortunately i dont know anyone that lives in canada. I need a friend that can ship it directly to me, with a note attached to it saying "happy birthday" or something to get away with the taxes from customs.
There are two types of GSM Tablets in the US. One is from AT&T, the other T-Mobile.
Both tablets support 850/900/1800/1900mhz bands so if your carrier is on these bands you should have no problem getting it to work. Whether its 3g capable or not, that's a different story as at least in the US only AT&T has the tri band UMTS necessary to get 3g and voice capability.

Yesterday I bought a phone on eBay Moto x operating CDMA (Sprint network). I would like to use the phone in Europe in the GSM network. Is changing the firmware on at & t I can use the phone in Europe? OR change the firmware change to GSM radio?, And that phones with at & t or t mobile chipset vary from phone sprint network?
