FONA 3G on T-Mobile

Post by brendanjdl »

I was reading the product page for the North American version of this breakout and it said that the T-Mobile 3G didn't work because it wasn't on 850/1900Mhz bands for UTMS/HSDPA but going on to T-Mobile's wiki page it shows that T-Mobile is on 1900MHz band for those. Could someone help clear up my confusion as to why this won't work for T-Mobile 3G?

I'm using it on T-Mobile in Florida and have had no problems with it at all...

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I bought one and ran it on rPi using command line speedtest and got 3g speeds close to 2 Mbit. So, the information on adafruit regarding it not working on T-Mobile is incorrect. Anyone thinking about using T-mobile SIM shouldn't worry.
