    Default AT&T or T-Mobile 9700/9780 for Digicel/Claro

    gonna score a new BB when I'm in farin next month to replace my 8310 on Digicel

    Assuming the Digicel/Claro acquisition goes through and that Digicel finally gets 3G, whose 3G frequencies match - AT&T or T-Mobile?

    thanx

    Well please remember at&t is in the same position of Digicel and Claro to acquire tmobile shortly, So Tmobile will be no more. But we are sure its At&t bands we use here.

    Let me answer you from a technical standpoint. T-mobile uses AWS (Advanced Wireless Services) spectrum which operates in the uncommon 1700Mhz spectrum band for their 3G services. This spectrum is only used in the US and Canada.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Wireless_Services

    What do you think is the likelyhood of it being used in Jamaica by any carrier?

    Enough said.

    I agree. I would recommend AT&T all the way. Trust me Digicel's EDGE is crap. I would suggest you use LIME as Claro is really Digicel anyways.
