Ender Hypersonic February 15, 2014 Share February 15, 2014 Go and read the spec, the link is already posted. It's dual Sim phone. One slot support 3G and the other support only 2G. Those say only support 2g probably insert their Sim card to the 2G slot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those say only support 2g probably insert their Sim card to the 2G slot. not really. i thought the 3g sim card slot is for CDMA. Then the 2g slot is for GSM which is unfortunately what we use... 1 WCDMA slot for 3G data and 1 GSM slot for 2G data Edited February 16, 2014 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Hypersonic February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 not really. i thought the 3g sim card slot is for CDMA. Then the 2g slot is for GSM which is unfortunately what we use... For 3G data, it's WCDMA... GSM can only support up to 2G (2.5G). Our telco support both. So, we just have to slot it in the WCDMA slot if we want 3G.

So, we just have to slot it in the WCDMA slot if we want 3G. Our telcos support CDMA? Thought only GSM? I recall 1 telco used to support CDMA but they canned it shortly after. Is CDMA different from WCDMA? Edited February 16, 2014 by Sabian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is CDMA different from WCDMA? Go to your phone setting network mode. Is it able to set to 3 options? Set to WCMDA, and you will only use 3G. Set to GSM, and you'll see your data stuck at 2G (GPRS,EDGE) set to Auto, and it'll switch between WCDMA and GSM automatically, depending on signal strength. If your phone behave as above like with my S3, there you have it, WCDMA is 3G in singapore, or singtel in my case. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been using 4G as it is out of the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratovarius Turbocharged February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 Woot. Was planning to get one since last year. My friend working in China told me is quite good. Might buy a couple to play with. I'm not too worried about the absence of LTE. Sometimes i switch to 3G because the 4G network is too slow esp in city areas during weekends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
