Default Confirmed: US Tmobile.com Sensation 4G works in Europe.

This question seemed to come up a few times in the past, not sure if it was properly answered.

Got a Sensation 4G from TMobile Store in NYC last week. Brought it to the UK, and it is able to connect to the 3G network here no problem.

It did not even need un locking to connect to TMobile UK Network.

Funnily Enough, it never says 3G / H, it always says 4G on notification bar.

Will be very interesting to see if you see roaming charges on your next bill.

The "3G" and "H" symbol doesn't exist on the US Sensation. "4G" is the same as "H", HSPDA.

So the phone is unlocked? Seems odd - Anybody else with a US S4G try a different SIM?

Mine was locked. I unlocked it yesterday using an AT&T SIM.

Could you clarify that?

You don't unlock a phone by using a different SIM. You have to unlock the phone by entering an unlock code. Only after it's unlocked can it use a different brand SIM.

No 3G, just EDGE.

What I was trying to establish is whether the phone came unlocked or if you had to unlock it. You've answered. Thanks.
