abortrephraseLooks like one can change which WCDMA frequencies a Tab is using, so even if one has a Telstra model one could in theory use it on say T-Mobile USA.
I have an Optus SIM on the way, will see how it goes on 900. Or maybe even 900/2100, if I can convince it to use the pair. Can't guarantee it'd work with 1700, though that's on the list. Would probably need a T-Mobile SIM in there to even try.
- In the Phone app, enter
* # * # 1 9 7 3 2 8 6 4 0 # * # *
- Menu-key, "Select", "8" (Phone Control)
- Menu-key, "Select", "7" (Network Control)
- Menu-key, "Select", "2" (Band Selection)
- Select which bands you want
- Menu-key, "Back"
