I heard "Network reception is a big flaw" It juggles between 3G &amp; 2G &amp; u need to restart to get network. Is this correct ?

In the US it will only work on 2G or EDGE network. ATT is degrading its 2G network. However T-Mobile s network is working well. Look at the Bands they work on. 3G or HDSPA require 1900Mhz freq. The P780 is 2100Mhz on 3G so it isn't compatible in the US. Look at the Lenovo K900 as it works on US networks very high speed HDSPA+ almost 4G or LTE speeds. I have both the P780 & the K900. T-Mobile on the P780 for 2G. The K900, AT&T HDSPA+ very fast. Hope that helps

Yes. We have 4g and we went from 2 bars to 5. Our first booster didn't work though, so if your phone doesn't connect, chances are it's a faulty tower.

Charles you can put a 2g sim in a 3g phone with no problems. It will function as a 2g phone, which means that apps that need network connection will run at a slower speed.

You can't have both networks simultaneously connect to data service. It's either H+ or 2G. Can't be both.

First of all, this unit has been one of the best investments for my phone I have ever made. That said, my iPhone 5 when wi fy is turned off shows 4G. I would ASSUME that 3G should work just as well. When I walk away from the house I have either no service, 3G, or LTE, but it doesn't work long enough to be useful. I didn't know I had 4G until after I purchased the Soho 65. I hope this helps, and for the small price of the unit, just go for it! My unit is about 2 years old. Russ

It didn't work for me. Here in Argentina, I never had 3g signal so I don't have it anymore. Now I have a Samsung s5 mini dual Sim that does work an very well.

Hi Sarah,When you set up the phone, it will ask you if you want to connect to a lesser network because it uses less power in that mode. I am in Hungary using 2G now and the phone seems to be working just fine.

This is another issue I just found out; the frequency range for this phone is 2100 mhz; so most carriers in America use the 1900 mhz range or below; so, this phone is not able to access 3G or 4G. I couldnt access 3G either; a friend of mine looked at it and found the frequency range. Another thing; yesterday the phone fall down from about a meter high; wasnt that high, the cristal screen totaly broke; since I live in Central America, theres no place to repair it. I owned before a Samsung Galaxy S3 and had some very hard falls and never happened to me. There went my 200 dollars. Take care of it, for the months that I had it, I mostly used it only with Wifi.

i guess all 3G networks works same way. it works very well in Nigeria with a 3G sim.

Some of the games/apps seem to require WiFi. However there are some that don't. Of course it took a little more time for some things to load but yes, for the most part it does seem to work using the 3g network.

In 'System Settings', under 'Wireless & Networks' you can enable the Auto mode for the network, so the phone may find the 3G Network. Nevertheless, the network speed depends on your network provider.

Hint hint: That is Generation 1 stuff; look at Gen 3 stuff like LTE by Netgear Pro that lets you lock in LTE band that has way better signal reach. My 2 cents :)

Yes but unless you absolutly sure that u will be getting 4g... get the other model cause it lacks one of the 3g bands and will be stuck with 2g

It suppose to work well and with a 3G network,anyway i did not use mine yet,I got to ship out abroad to a family member to use it in his country,not in USA.

Yes. The app is about $10. On 3g looks ok, 4g would be better but the most important thing is to have a good signal.
