Will it work on US 3G? Will the HTC Desire work on T-Mobile's US 3G network? Does anybody in the US have the Desire and use on the T-Mobile's 3G network?

The Desire works on 900/2100 3G band (talks on 900, listens on 2100). AT&T; uses 850/1900 and T-Mobile uses 1700/2100. From my understanding, the Desire will not work on US 3G as it can't both talk & listen. Works great in Europe and Asia, though.

I just got it. No, 3G doesn't work. It doesn't work with AT&T; either, just tried it today.

If u buy the Desire a8182 model it will work on AT&Ts; 3g network. The model on Amazon is an a8181.

Well, I can say I have an international sim card in this phone - and here in the USA the phone connects to the T-mobile network (it says "T-Mobile" right at the top of my display). So I know it is compatible with the T-mobile network in the USA.

Depends. For every network, different providers use different radio frequencies. This phone works with: 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 MHz LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 Mhz As far as I know, T-Mobile requires 1700 and 2100 MHz to work on LTE, so in some areas you might be limited to 3G or 2G networks, and in some cases you may not get service at all!!! Google made 2 versions of this phone, which are the SAME PHONE, except for the frequencies they use: 1. The Nexus 5 D821 (which I have bought), for use in most parts of the world. 2. The Nexus 5 D820, for use in the USA. If you intend to use the phone mainly in USA, you may want to buy the D820 model. Hope I was helpful. Enjoy the Nexus 5!

L. Stanley,Can you help me out? I know nothing about all of this cell phone technology - I just need to buy my boyfriend a present and think this is a great gift. He's on T-mobile, so which version of the phone should I get him that will work here in the US? I don't know if it makes a difference but he's from Australia so the phone also needs to work there when he goes back.Thanks alot!

I have this phone with T-Mobile in the USA, and I recently took it to England. I turned off the data, but it was working great for voice and texts.

To put it simply: For 3G this phone supports UMTS 900/1900/2100 MHz frequencies. T-Mobile 3G (in the US) uses AWS 1700/2100 MHz (up link/down link) so the phone can't get to the 1700MHz frequency band to make the connection.

I use it overseas and it works perfectlly with my 3G carrier, it should work the same with T-Mobile.

Thanks for your reply. I just want to use it in Europe. What exactly is this 3G?Basically my question is whether I have a major disadvantage from buying the US version instead of the international version. Is there anything the international version has which I need or which is one of the best features of this phone which I could not use with the US version in Europe?thanks for your help!

Yes, it does work with T mobile, but you will get only Edge speed (slowest network speed) if the phone is the International version. in order to get full speed 4G,4G-LTE(fastest network speed ) from T mobile you need to get the T mobile unlocked version (U.S.version. not the international version). the international version is good only for oversea such as in China or Europ..etc. To use in the U.S. it must be compatible network bands. For my advices , please read the phone 's descriptions or specifications to avoid mistakes.

This is a GSM phone and is only meant to work on the GSM networks. It will work on T-Mobile and AT&T.; Worked without a hitch on T-Mobile for me. Just get a sim card from them and pop it in and you will be good to go. Hope that helps.

My HTC Desire C is used on the 3G network Adirmo and it says this is the specs section if you look at the HTC sites.

It is unlocked, only 2g in US and is not a t mobile phone. I returned Amazon 4gs I ordered because it does not work on US 4g network. It is meant for Europe.

The phone supports 3G frequencies 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100. T-mobile used 1700 AND 2100 (AWS) for HSPA, but I understand they are now providing HSPA also over 1900.

It should work with AT&T; with both 2g and 3g. It does not work with T-Mobile 3g in the US. It does not do data in 2g. Providing you have AT&T; 3g available in your area it should work and have data capabilities (if you pay for data).
