SK17 i - NETWORK PROBLEM

[#1]

Hi all.

I need your help. I bought a sk17i, that i have understood, it works on

GSM 850

GSM 900

GSM 1800

GSM 1900

HSPDA 900 

HSPDA 2100

I can use my cellphone on gsm network, but in my country, The network used for 3g( UMTS and HSPA+) is 1900.

I want to know if there is any way to change the cellphone frecuency, so that works on my country. I dont know if this is about hardware only, or maybe i can resolve with a software mod

Please help me.

Thanks..

Unfortunately there is no way to change the frequency on the handset as this is entirely based on hardware.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

To use that frequency you need to have the sk17a Xperia mini pro.

Ok thanks for the quick response . So, Can you confirm that i can use xperia SK17a on HSPA 850Mhz and 1900? If that is correct, i think i will be changing my cellphone for the correct version.

Could you bring me a list with the diferent packages of Xperia mini pro with the diferent frecuencys? so that i can select the correct version to my country
