- I talked to an engineer today,Who works with Tmobile and he told me that Tmobile is planning on using their 2100Mhz 3G service for both upstream and downstream in the next 6months to 1 year. That Tmobile only acquired the 1700Mhz band so they could enter a contract for roaming with the Japanese.
Forgive me if I didn't word this right ,He was speaking a language I didn't understand,But I thought I would share it here and see if makes sense with any of you all.
Basically what he told me was that in the near future devices such as the iPhone and other 3G enabled devices would work on Tmobile USA.08-01-09 04:49 PMLike 0 -

- Sorry if this a dumb question but how will this affect current 3G tmo phones? Will they be able to use the new frequency? And does this whole change mean that tmo will drop the old frequency or will just use both?

- Probably won't see 3G here (Charleston, S.C. area) for a year anyway. My contract will be up then and I might get a 3G T-Mob phone.08-02-09 10:00 PMLike 0
- It is not a true statement, especially if you are not only referred to tmobile's current line up. There are so many ATT's 3g phone don't have 2100 band. Some of Nokia NAM version phones only have 850/1900 bands
Per Samsung USA website, tmobile's new samsung comeback has only 1700 band.

I really wish I could post links, because some of you need to read up on the basics of how the AWS band works, and why the Euro UMTS 2100 band isn't available in the United States for 3g use.08-03-09 09:59 AMLike 0 -

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2100 MHz UMTS spectrum allocated in Europe is already used in North America. The 1900 MHz range is used for 2G (PCS) services, and 2100 MHz range is used for satellite communications. Regulators have, however, freed up some of the 2100 MHz range for 3G services, together with the 1700 MHz for the uplink. UMTS operators in North America who want to implement a European style 2100/1900 MHz system will have to share spectrum with existing 2G services in the 1900 MHz band.08-03-09 02:31 PMLike 0 -
I talked to T-Mobile about replacing my Pearl Flip that I had multi exchange for my 3rd replacement dash, and they offered $100 off the new Dash 3G. I was like 3G, what's that, at least not in this part of the country.
Do they have groups on this site, like a group for SC, or southern states? Glad to see a Lowcountry native on here as well Fried Rice. Peace.08-03-09 03:53 PMLike 0
