1276680 2012-05-22 02:54:00 Unfortunately there are heaps of models of Galaxy S. The standard Galaxy S, the i9000, should work on all major NZ networks, as does the i9100 S II and i9300 S III. Some of the smaller-brother models (but still badged Galaxy S) like the M110S, i909 etc, probably won't like XT (or at least, not it's 3G network). inphinity (7274)
1276681 2012-05-22 04:26:00 No. It won't.

The i9000 works on 2degrees / Vodafone
The i9000T / i9000M works on XT

They are not cross-compatible.

I blogged about it here: www.c2s.co.nz

1276682 2012-05-22 04:52:00 What Chill said.

I can get my galaxy S to work on Telecom with a bit of mucking around (I just felt like experimenting so I put my work SIM in it), but only for phone calls and txt, the data drops back to dial-up speeds because it doesn't have the Telecom band required for XT. It'll probably stop when they turn off the CDMA network as well.

1276683 2012-05-22 08:32:00 You should be able to get a Telecom one to work in Vodafone and 2Ds 2100 band without any problems if you are in that coverage area.. paulw (1826)
1276684 2012-05-22 09:05:00 A friend of mine got given it after buying a good Samsung TV and it turns out it is a Samsung Galaxy S Model# YP-G70EW/XSA which makes it a Tablet so it won't get Telecom or Vodafone.:(
If it had only worked on the Vodafone network I was going to buy it from him.
