    Hi, i have a Samsung SGH50i which has tri band but i cannot access a network in the States. I have roaming enabled but when i try to manually select a network it says no network found. Just wondering if anybody has had this problem or if anybody knows what im doing wrong. Cheers.
    p.s im in Hawaii.

    T-mobile should be showing up, its the only network available. Try powering off your phone, then on again and try again.

    He has a triband phone, maybe the area is 850 only?

    @RUU, there are loads of GSM networks in the US. A full list is available here: http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_us.shtml

    OP: You said you were with O2 on Prepay, then search for "Cingular" or AT&T Wireless (only shows on older phones). I dont think O2 Prepay works on T-Mobile US. But it does work fine on Cingular, when I was in the US last I had my O2 phone and I had no problems, but coverage could be iffy at times.

    The OP is in Hawaii so it might be different there.

    T-mobile is the only one available to the OP (as he is on O2) in Hawaii. Also it depends on who the Irish operators roaming agreement is with, you can't just roam on any network you wish. Those ones listed, I *think* are mostly regional.
