This is the frequency that Telecoms XT operates on, as well as AT&amp;T in the US. Rogers in Canada also operates on this frequency<\/p>\n<p>The Samsung Nexus S is also known as the &#8220;i9020&#8221;, or the &#8220;i9020T&#8221;. The T stands for T-Mobile, and this is the standard model that operates on the Vodafone frequencies.<\/p>\n<p>The Nexus S for XT is known as &#8220;i9020A&#8221;, for AT&amp;T, and it operates on NZ&#8217;s XT frequencies.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that when purchasing a phone that&#8217;s been imported, that you double-check very carefully the frequencies and the network type. Not all countries run UMTS on the 850 \/ 1900Mhz frequencies like XT do, some run it on the frequencies that Vodafone use here, so double-check and triple-check before buying.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that the XT Network here in NZ is the same as AT&amp;T, Bell Mobility, Rogers, and more.
