Nokia 5800 3.5G question (cell C)

Hi

If i get a cell c sim card, can i use my phone on the 900 network to get better reception for data? I have bad signal in home here and mostly my 3g dont even work , just EDGE...can i get 3.5G better on the 900 network with my phone? or whats my best options?

Thx

Yes, you will be able to. The 5800 has 900 MHz 3G support.

theoretically. i've been dialling up on a speedstick via windows standard dialup and via the cellc software and have been battling to connect with standard dialup.
iirc there were some issues with settings which the cellc software sorted out.
maybe just give it a try with a payg sim before buying a bundle deal if that's where you're going with this...
just my 2c.

but will i be able to use 3.5G on 900...and must i set is to normal GSM or dual mode or UTHS (or something..) or is entire cell c network now 900 and not just the data part?

and what speed will i be able to get with the phone on the 900 ?

You have to either use UMTS (3G + HSDPA) or Dual Mode if you have good reception and it defaults to 3G or HSDPA.

You should be able to get the phone max of 3.6mbps. I have a 5800XM, but I haven't used it with my CellC sim, since I have a modem.

The port speed isn't limiting you. The area or signal of CellC is.
