Regards

As a example verison and att both run on 700mhz in the USA. They difference in radio frequencies is actually very small but many devices even if you unlock them the radios are still fixed to the exact frequency bands used by their carriers and you can not change them. From what I am told this is a option that is set at the factory and you need...
