LTE 1900
WCDMA 1900 / 2100
CDMA 800 / 850 / 1900
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900


Which local 3g/4g networks will work with such a phone ?


3G will work perfectly but since LTE only shows 1900MHz, it wont work.
Both Warid and Zong use Band 3, which is 1800MHz for their LTE network.

Guys does Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 support 4G LTE warid or Zong?
Correct me if i am wrong, but looking at the specs sheet it looks like it will support 3G from other operators

Frequency is supported but by default no lte option in network mode. I am using zong, don't know about warid. Heard that u can enable lte option after rooting but i didn't try that as i don't wanna root my phone.

That's weird, as spec sheet says it supports LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 and i have heard warid and zong uses 1800 for LTE
9005 is also unlocked version so there also shouldnt be any region restrictions.

Guys bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V ( white color from Verizon USA ) and it is on stock rom+firmware and Android 4.4.2

It shows LTE option in Mobile Networks, but I called Warid and they said Samsung S5 is not supported with Warid LTE.

What's up with that???

Anybody knows if I can use 4G or LTE on my phone with any service provider in Pakistan???

Here is the specs link:

Samsung Galaxy S5 | Verizon Wireless

Thanks in advance!

Nope. Only SM-G900F supports Warid 4G.

G900V doesn't support Band 3 (1800MHz) so you can't use Warid 4G with it.

Is it same with Zong, they also use 1800MHz???

Can I install a custom ROM/Firmware/Radio to change my cell to SM-G900F or enable 1800MHz frequency by some manipulation or is there no chance???

Yes, both Warid and ZONG use 1800MHz.
You can't enable Band 3 OR convert your device to a G900F because the G900V has a different radio, and will only support Verizon's 4G network.
Long story short, no chance.
There's no way you can do it.

@murtaza12 Any thoughts on this bro???

If it is indeed a hardware restriction then what would you say about this thread and this post in particular:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=517

This guy has the same phone and version as my S5 and he enabled 1800MHz band which I need as well.

It seems we can enable the LTE bands with some patience and work, should I try this on my phone or is it not worth it???

Thanks!

If your phone has any LTE band you can add all bands but if it doesn't have any, you are out of luck

- - - Updated - - -

It is useful for using LTE on American phones. Which has different frequencies than 1800 for LTE and 2100 for 3g

Bro, it may not be possible on G900V.

The thing is, SM-G900A, SM-G900T, SM-G900R4 and SM-G900W8 have ordinary US/Canadian compatible radios but SM-G900V and SM-G900P have different radios cause Sprint and Verizon operate on a different type of network (CDMA).
So it may not be possible to enable Band 3 on your device.

EDIT: Lol, I just read the thread. The OP is using a G900V, but still, its not worth it.

Secondly, Warid will NEVER give you the SIM. It is possible to haggle and get one (with a G900F) but seeing a G900V, they will never give it to you. So you can borrow a Sony or LG LTE device from a friend/family member and then get a Warid 4G SIM and test it with your phone (once you've unlocked Band 3).

How can I activate mobilink 3g on lg optimus g pro f240l running 4.4.2 custom rom?
You need to add APN configuration here
Settings >> Tethering & Networks >> Mobile Newtworks>> Access Point Names >> Then press menu key and select Add New APN... On this page, only fill first two lines,, In name, write Mobilink, in APN, write connect.mobilinkworld.com. Now press menu again and select save. You have added APN, just make sure its radio button is selected. REstart your phone and tap on data icon to use 3G (Make sure in network type, you have selected Auto mode OR WCDMA/GSM Auto).

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
