x10i on Rogers Network?

---

Hi,

I bought an x10 from 3 hong kong, fully unlocked. I brought it back to Canada and there's no 3G! I checked all the frequencies and should be all compatible, entered rogers APNs and still no 3G.

Is it possible to get the x10 to work on 3G on rogers?

No unfortunately. The X10 you got from Hong Kong is the international version and it does NOT have the correct 3G bands for Canada/US. You do get quad band GSM but you can only get EDGE. You would need the American version of the X10 in order to get 3G.

Yeah, tough luck. I'm still confused as why AT&T and T-mobile has different 3G bands. Rogers and AT&T use WCDMA 1900 MHz bands while T-mobile and what feels like the rest of the world (just kidding, but at least Europe too) uses WCDMA 2100.

Stop me if I'm way out of my league but my question is WHY?

And isn't it possible to just buy the phone from Rogers directly, cash?

Yea you can buy the phone from Rogers directly with cash but it is still locked. You need to get it unlocked before using it on another carrier.

Why do you need it unlocked if in Canada Rogers is the only one using that frequency?

that's the problem. i can't use rogers phones since i travel a lot. i have to buy a world phone of some sort.

I heard you can root your phone and change the frequencies. is that possible?

I was assuming Flamso might need it for AT&T or some other carrier. Also, it's not just Rogers that uses the frequence. We do have Telus and Bell now. Buy an X10, get it unlocked and use it on Telus or Bell.

Telus and Bell aren't CDMA?
I know Fido and Rogers are the same.

You shouldnt have a tough time selling that one here. Doesnt it support the aws band that wind mobile runs on? AWS 1700 i think

Well, no. My X10i works perfectly in Sweden with ALL providers. :P
