Help SGH-T989D vs SGH-T989

[Darkbob2]

I live in Canada half the year and use Koodo. The other half the year I'm in the USA and I use T-Mobile. I'd like to just have one phone and swap out the SIM card but I don't want to give up any data speed.

Because I only live part time in each country I need to go with a month-to-month provider (no contract for me). Is the GII the phone for me? Is there a better choice?

Up in Canada they sell the SGH-T989D but T-Mobile sells the SGH-T989. Is there a difference? Will the SGH-T989D from Canada work on T-Mobile?

Many thanks in advance.

Bob

Welcome to the forums Bob. :ciao:

From what I can find, the two phones seem exactly the same. They have the same frequency bands so there should be no loss in data speeds. I would give T-Mobile or Koodo a call and see what you need.

Hehe. Thanks for your reply. Spoken like somebody who's never called an 800 number in his life! Of course that was my first step and yes I called both Koodo and T-Mobile. The calls went like this:

"Hello. My name is John. I am please to be of helping to you today. How 'bout our local team? Did they not cause much humiliation to the enemy at the sporting venue recently? How may I be of disservice?"

And it was all down hill from there.

But thanks anyway.
