I am really confused now. The xperia helpline is telling me that the l26i will only work with T-Mobile in the USA and not AT&T. Is this true?
I've seen conflicting info. See my thread below.
Only one model exists LT26i, which is quadband HSPA. It supports ATT (850/1900). No TMobile US support is available. e

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to get your opinions on using a International Unlocked Lumia 920 on T-Mobile USA. I know that the 1700MHz band ?wont be? supported but i wanted to know if a future T-Mobile LTE roll out would be supported down the road.
Thanks guys!
To the contrary, looks like AWS will be supported according to the FCC docs. There is a chance at the AT&T version will have it disabled, but I'm 100% sure that the international version will have all bands working.
Anyone have a real picture of a Lumia 920 showing T-Mobile USA as the carrier and a 3G or 4G connection in the status bar? I imagine it would support HSPA+ on AWS, right?
Please read the "Outstanding! Rogers 920 in USA" thread.
I've been wanting an upgrade from my G2x for a while and what I want, which is what everyone else wants, is the Samsung Galaxy S3. I don't know which model to get, being that there are so many models of the S3 depending on the service provider. Here's the situation: I'm on a t-mobile value plan, living in West Virginia (I'm a student) with the only service here is roaming on AT&T, thus I only get edge. Can I use a different model, like an unlocked AT&T, and then be able to use more than 2G? Then be able to get full 4G when I do go to t-mobile service area? (From the chart by forum moderator, it shows AT&T shares 1900 mHz, 2100mHz, HSPA+, so it should technically work with tmobile, correct line of thought?)
*I already know that unlocked international version won't be able to get on anything more than 2G in US, it having different radios.
Also, read somewhere that I could buy the AT&T model and be able to use international LTE networks. Is that true? Could someone here enlighten me about the issues with the radios/frequencies (for US) for S3?
Much appreciated. Tried to find this question answered somewhere, and couldn't so posting now.
Groupon has a deal for the S5 that says it's for "Verizon and GSM Unlocked":
https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-samsung-galaxy-s5-smartphones
Is there any way to tell what model # this is? I'm guessing that it is a generic S5 and not the T-Mobile specific SM-G900T. If that's true, then it likely doesn't have the TMo specific LTE frequencies needed for full service (I'm in the Chicago area), correct?
I really hate having to find special versions of GSM devices to make full use of T-Mobile's network...
<TAP><TAP> Is this thing on???
Unlocked for all Verizon and GSM carriers.
On the same page --> https://www.groupon.com/pages/groupon-deal-images-gg-gsm-providers
Only thing is that it probably will not be compatible with WiFi calling features, but I could be wrong.
I know it would work but I was curious about whether it was the same model they sell via T-Mobile that has their unique frequency bands (1900/2100 I believe). Groupon responded to an inquiry and said it was a Verizon model so while I can't confirm it, I'm guessing it doesn't have the extra bands needed to fully make use of T-Mobile's LTE network so it would likely drop down to HPDPA+ in many locations.
According to the reviews, its a Verizon branded phone. A couple of the reviews are from T-mo users and they claimed to have issues with the sim/network not going to LTE, instead it uses their HSPA network.
If it was me, I would not buy this. It is cheap yea, but remember that the S5 is not compatible with the new band 12.
-edit-
The Chicago area isn't getting band 12 anyways, not anytime soon that is.
I'm using a Verizon S5 with a T-mobile rom and it works perfect 4g lte and all If you end up getting it just root it then look at my view forum posts.
Different frequency bands between AT&T/T-Mobile/Rogers/Telus versions of HTC One M9
I've tried to dig up the info as to what the differences are in terms of frequency bands available for each of the different GSM versions of the HTC One M9. This is what I came up with from the carrier websites:
AT&T
• UMTS: I/II/ V
• LTE: 2/3/4/5/7/12/17/29
T-Mobile
• UMTS: I/II/IV/V
• LTE : 2/3/4/7/12/17
Rogers
• UMTS: I/II/IV/V
• LTE: 2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/29/30
Telus
• UMTS: I/II/V
• LTE : 1/2/4/5/7/13/17
Does anyone know if this is indeed accurate? Does someone have the proper info? Thanks.
I have searched and seen so much conflicting information. I finally used a link where you can insert your IMEI and it will show you the band's the manufacturers say are on the phone. Anyway the AT&T version seems to also have Band 4 WCDMA and Band 13 LTE...if you want the kink to insert your IMEI let me know.

Sure, I'd be interested in the link. Thanks.
I was initially asking the question because I was planning to buy an unlocked version directly from HTC (which, from my understanding, supports the same bands as the AT&T version), but based on the specs I've seen on Rogers' and AT&T's websites, there was no mention of WCDMA band IV on AT&T's site, but there was on Rogers' site, so I opted for the Rogers version.
Link to Check All Bands on your phone before you buy
Here is the LINK:
https://imeidata.net/check
Any seller should be willing to give you the IMEI before you buy so you can verify what the manufacturer says is the GSM, WCDMA & LTE Bands.

So I just read and saw on line that the US Cellular version of the LG G6 is on $550 buy it out right. Would this version work with Verizon Wireless. It looks to have the same LTE bands. What would be the chance of buying and putting a Verizon sim in it and it works out the gate. Anyone have any ideas?

GSMarena doesn't currently list 3G bands for the US Cellular G6 (US997). However, I've seen the Verizon and US Cellular versions of phones differ on 3G bands before (see the Galaxy S7 USA, for example), so 3G might have problems if you just popped a Verizon SIM card into a US Cellular G6.
I'm wondering if there could be a similar method to the one that was discovered for the HTC 10 where you flash radio images from the Verizon variant onto another phone:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/vzw-how-to-unlocked-model-vzw-t3376743
Is the us cellular version factory unlocked? It is the same model number as the unlocked version, us997. I'm looking to use on AT&T.
It looks like you have to pick up some kind of plan from them to get the $550 price. It's probably better to go the b&h route (or hope vzw does a mother's day week sale).
Update: Ended up buying a new us cellular us997 for cheap. Popped my straight talk/at&t sim in and it works flawlessly. I always use this site to check bands
https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/0Dlph6Y/lg-us997-g6-lte-a/united-states
I have used that site several times and its always been accurate. From what im seeing, the us cellular model supports all of the bands needed for verizon. It doesnt support CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rel. 0 but does support CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A. So if 3G is a major concern, I'd check and see which one is used in your area. I personally wouldn't care about the 3G considering the price difference of the USC model and the fact that all LTE and voice bands are supported. Hope this helps
