| 777865 | 2009-05-29 04:46:00 | Hi everyone, The people at Telecom are very unhelpful even when i can possibly decipher what they are saying.... Can my Samsung W531 work on the new XT network? Just remember that it does have a sim card slot. Thanks Everyone! And no thanks to telecom operators:annoyed: |

| 777866 | 2009-05-29 04:48:00 | You can go into a Telecom store and try a SIM card, see if that works, or try checking here too. Just because a phone has a SIM slot in no way means it will work on the XT network. www.telecom.co.nz If these specs are right... CDMA 800 /GSM Dualmode 900\1800 ..then it won't. Telecom is running UMTS 850Mhz. en.wikipedia.org Check there under New Zealand and it tells you what different operators are running. |

| 777868 | 2009-05-29 04:58:00 | I just checked, it asked for my IMIE number, and I typed it. Apparently my phone does not exist | Sir Prospect (14735) | ||
| 777869 | 2009-05-29 04:59:00 | It doesn't look like your phone would work. en.wikipedia.org That's a great article, describes in a bit more detail what the difference is between various types of mobile transmissions. |

| 777870 | 2009-05-29 05:04:00 | Oh well, I've only spent $2 of credit in the last 5 months, so looks like im not going to benefit from the new network anyway.... |

| 777871 | 2009-05-30 03:15:00 | Wonder if you can still put a SIM card into the W531 and go to Ozz with it or have they now stopped this with the XT network coming on line. I have a SIM card and a 531 here at home but never used it in Ozz.. | paulw (1826) | ||

| 777873 | 2009-05-30 06:08:00 | my V3x isnt compatabile :(. how will this xt network affect my telecom mobile i have currently? It won't... completely different network. Most phones on the pre-XT network won't work on the new XT network. The pre-XT network is CDMA whereas the XT network is WCDMA.... Telecom will be supporting the CDMA network until 2012. cheers, |
