Question [Q] T Mobile 3g on Galaxy 3 from India

Hi,

I recently shifted to US. I am using T Mobile SIM. I have no issues with GPRS but 3G doesn't work as T Mobile operates 3G on 1700 MHz.

Is there a way to make our beloved G3 work 1700 MHz for 3G signals?
Or is it hardware related which cannot be change?
Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 - CM10
Galaxy 3 - Kyrillos 10

This is quite common with T mobile as the frequency used by them is beyond what our phone can handle.
T mobile lost the fame it had due to this.
Not only our galaxy 3 but most of other phones won't work with 3g.
Hence you find less manufacturers releasing 3g phones with t mobile
Contract

There is no possible way to do what you said. The phone antenna itself can't handle higher frequency. If possible why would not manufacturers release phones with t mobile branding
