Will unlocked Sprint's galaxy s6 work with european carrier (UMTS 900/2100, no LTE)? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6

I want to pick one from ebay, but I'm not sure that it will work with my carrier.
Could anyone confirm which UMTS bands supports Sprint's galaxy s6?
I'm a bit confused: some pages say that there is no UMTS, others say there is UMTS I need, but I need GalaxyTools to enable UMTS mode..

the S6 for sprint (G920P) supports the following Radio Bands, per Samsung's Product Page
Infra: 2G GSM, 2G CDMA, 3G UMTS, 3G CDMA, 4G FDD LTE, 4G TDD LTE;
2G GSM: GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900;
2G CDMA: CDMA800, USPCS1900;
3G UMTS: B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850), B8(900);
3G CDMA: BC0(800), BC1(1900), BC10(800);
4G FDD LTE: B2(1900), B4(AWS), B5(850), B12(700), B25(1900), B26(800);
4G TDD LTE: B41(2500)
your 900/2100 request seems to match the phone's hardware, you just need a sim unlocked device.

Perfect! Thanks!

about LTE & CDMA related..

So i have two sprint S3 L710, the spec from gsmarena is :
Network Technology CDMA / EVDO / LTE
2G bands CDMA 800 / 1900
3G bands CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
4G bands LTE band 25(1900)
Speed LTE Cat3 100/50 Mbps, EV-DO Rev.A 3.1 Mbps
GPRS No
EDGE No
Now my country only 1 CDMA network said they will expand later to : tdd lte 2300, fdd lte 800. My question is, will this L710 can be use for that?
And i didnt understand about this LTE.. But i should find CDMA phone with TDD LTE 2300, right??

[Q] Note 4 Band Question

So here's where i am confused. I can looked up and found that these are the LTE bands for Verizon note 4 ,Network: LTE Band 13/4 (700/1700 MHz), CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz);
While dubai requires 1800/2600Mhz; for 4G.
ATT note 4 supports these bands while Verizon doesn't. and i cant buy ATT note 4 since it wont work wit Verizon
Whats the Solution ?
Will unlocking the phone open up all the bands ? 2g/3g works fine im just concerning with 4G overseas

Can i use that with verizon when im in the states ?
I'm not sure but I don't think so. I think Verizon sells a SIM card for their USA phones to be used abroad.

Nexus 5x LGH791

Hi,
I have received new Nexus 5x LGH791, which is European version.
I live in North American and have T-moble service.
Would this phone with with T-mobile, including 4G LTE?
Also, would it work with Project Fi? I understand that Sprint is using CDMA and T-Mobile is GSM network, and this phone doesn't support CDMA. Can it still work with T-mobile only within Project Fi?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Hi,
Thanks, I know that there are different phone versions. I was asking if my LGH791 'Rest of world' version of the phone would work with T-mobile's 4G LTE? I've read somewhere that T-mobile's 4G LTE works in B2 and B4 LTE bands, which this phone does support, and wanted to confirm that. Also, since Google's Project Fi works with T-mobile, then can this phone work with Project Fi also and stay only in T-mobile's network (not switching to Sprint's CDMA network)? Thanks!
LTE Frequencies:
1700 MHz & 2100 MHz AWS band 4
1900 MHz PCS band 2 (in refarmed areas)
Lower 700 MHz band 12 (in development) / in service in selected areas
3G/4G Frequencies (WCDMA):
1700 MHz & 2100 MHz AWS band 4
1900 MHz PCS band 2 (in refarmed areas)
2G Frequencies (GSM/GPRS/EDGE):
1900 MHz PCS band 2
Should be fine. I don't see why you'd have a problem with Project Fi, it just wouldn't ever see CDMA.

You won't have band 12, but neither do I since we get to enjoy the lovely TV channel 51 instead.

Sorry for my noob question, would flashing a newer baseband/radio help to get band 12 on h791?
No, available frequencies would depend on hardware.

Thank you. However, I found a few topics that some users had difficulties with band 12 with US version, by my understanding the issue is related to providers, mostly t-mobile. Do you know what this is all about?
No, I haven't really cared about band 12 since i found out my metro area wouldn't get it until they get rid of the TV station

5X (International) Compatibility with Verizon?

Hey guys. I'm looking to make the jump from AT&T to Verizon. From my understanding the domestic 5X is compatible with their network (but not "officially" supported). I have the international model and am wondering if it will work also. Trying to decipher my findings below - mainly the "f" and "c" references. Thanks.

Sprint Note 5 (SM-N920P) on AT&T

I'm not really sure where to ask this because it doesn't really fit into the Sprint or AT&T forums. Still, given that the question is about the AT&T network, I figured this might be the better spot.
I am upgrading to the Note 8 and I was hoping to give my Note 5 (that I own outright) to my girlfriend who is on AT&T. I tested it out and configured the APN properly and I think all is well. There is some wonkiness is maintaining the LTE connection, though. I looked into it and it looks like there is a difference between the two models as far as the bands go.
Code:
Sprint Note 5 (SM-N920P):
Infra: 2G GSM,2G CDMA,3G WCDMA,3G CDMA,4G LTE FDD,4G LTE TDD;
2G GSM: GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900;
2G CDMA: CDMA800 ,USPCS1900;
3G UMTS: B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850), B8(900);
3G CDMA: BC0(800), BC1(1900), BC10(800);
4G FDD LTE: B2(1900), B4(AWS), B5(850), B12(700), B25(1900), B26(800);
4G TDD LTE: B41(2500)
Code:
AT&T Note 5 (SM-N920A):
Infra: 2G GSM, 3G WCDMA, 4G LTE FDD;
2G GSM: GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900;
3G UMTS: B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850);
4G FDD LTE: B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B17(700), B20(800), B29(700), B30(2300)
It looks like the Sprint variant lacks B1, B3, B7, B8, B17, B20, B29, B30
I don't think AT&T heavily uses all of these bands, though. My main question is - Functionally, what type of performance should I expect? Will she get satisfactory service from AT&T despite these missing bands?

Right. AT&T uses bands 2,4,5,17 with 17 being the main LTE band. I had the same situation with my Verizon variant (just switched to AT&T prepaid, yay save money, rip wifi calling) and I want the main band 17 for times when I travel back home from college, so I can have coverage. The main thing is that if you're noticing LTE issues now, it's not going to get better unless you get a phone that supports band 17. I just happened to have an iphone 6 plus laying around that I threw my SIM into temporarily and I've noticed better coverage because it supports all the bands.
TL;DR It will work, it just won't be optimal since you're missing the main LTE band. Get a phone that supports bands 2,4,5,17 if you want optimal performance. And depending on where you are and how your coverage is, you might need it in order for your service to be satisfactory.
