I am considering purchasing a Z2. I am on AT&T. Can anyone confirm that they have a Z2 working on AT&T? It seems possible with the bands it has, to fully work on AT&T.
D6503 working 100% on AT&T. Just took the Sim out of my old phone (already had a previous AT&T LTE device) and put it in the Z2. No issues.

Anyone out there rocking the XZU model: C6806 on AT&T? If you are, does yours shows that your getting LTE? I have the C6833, cause I thought this got LTE, but all I seem to get is H+
So, if your getting LTE, please let me know. Thank you for your time.
Yep, I'm on ATT with a C6806 and getting LTE. Had to switch to the ATT APN when I flashed CM, but yes, definitely getting LTE. And the 6833 doesn't get LTE for ATT, doesn't have the right band IIRC.
Yep LTE works great on the C6806. Was in LA the other day getting 30+mb down and 20+ up.

There are some locations in which the 6833 will get LTE but it's so not likely that it's not advertised as being compatible for AT&T. Even so, there were reports that some folks needed to have a recognized IMEI associated with their line of service to get LTE despite model and APN.

Hi Phaze1585,
When I had my Z Ultra LTE (C6806), I was getting LTE on AT&T. However, there are two things you need in order for this to work:
1. Band 17 support which the C6833 does not have. However, AT&T may support band 4 (which the C6833 does support) sometime in the future but don't know when. If you look on Wikipedia and search LTE bands, it says AT&T supports bands 4 and 17 but AT&T currently implements band 17 predominately. There are reports on this forum that the C6833 should work on T-Mobile's LTE since they are using band 4.
2. The SIM card needs to be activated or associated with an AT&T LTE phone. If it is an LTE phone but not "approved" (basically sold) by AT&T, you will only get HSPA+. Not related to Z Ultra but in lines with the point, I purchased my dad a Xperia ZL and activated a new SIM with AT&T (previous phone was a Moto Atrix 2, HSPA+ only). When I booted the phone, it only connected with HSPA+. When I inserted my SIM which at the time was associated with a Galaxy Note 2, I was able to get LTE on the Xperia ZL. Similar stories can be seen by searching on Google.
Hope this helps.
I am planning on purchasing the Xperia Z Ultra for use in the US. I have noticed that Sony has several models of this phone -
Sony Xperia Z Ultra HSPA+ C6802
Sony Xperia Z Ultra LTE C6806
Sony Xperia Z Ultra LTE C6833
My intention at this point is to use it with T-Mobile LTE service. I realize that the C6802 will not do. How about the other two? Would both C6806 and C6833 be fully LTE compatible on T-Mobile US?
At some later date I may want to use it with AT&T or AT&T MVNO. Would both C6806 and C6833 be compatible with them?
Also, I travel often abroad and want to be able to purchase a local SIM cards in the countries I visit. Which of the two LTE phones will work better internationally?
In non technical terms - what’s the difference between the C6806 and C6833 and why Sony has both?
Which of the above two has the same network compatibility as the Google Play version?
Thanks in advance for any input and help.

Hi. I must say that I'm on t-mo and I bought my C6802 ultra since it came out and I has to say that when it comes to internet speed on HSPA+ not one I've had a complaint HSPA+ is fast enough for me here in denver co. Unless you really want to have LTE. I use slingplayer internet radio without lag. But then again not all phones are the same meaning may be I'm a lucky one that my phone s fast on my network.

I was sure I made a thorough search... I must have overlooked it.
Sorry and thanks for the link to all the info I need!
Any T-Mobile USA owner now there, can you please confirm that with an active T-Mobile SIM, can you do Wi-Fi calling on this Sony Z Ultra? If so, was the Z Ultra a Sony version, or GPE? Thanks!

Tmobile wifi calling working only with Tmobile certified phones., which is on sale in tmobile stores.
Xperia Z Ultra and Z Ultra GPE don't have that future.
If you have a choice buy Sony version of Z Ultra. Why ? There is many posts about it.
Regards
Well...
Here is the thing, I have a MetroPCS Alcatel OneTouch Firece, I unlocked it, put my T-Mobile SIM into it, and I was able to make Wi-Fi calls.
Obviously, this phone is not a T-Mobile certified phone, it does not have any T-Mobile software on it, and, when I am in-door with no cell signal, the phone shows MetroPCS, so what gives?

2. Are Xperia Z2 4G bands compatible with Verizon's bands in model (D6503)?the specs shows band 4 &13 is already included in D6503.
3.How can I get the APN for Xperia Z2 in order to activate 4G LTE?is it from Verizon or another source?
Big thanks in advance for the help and my apologies for bad English.

Thanks a lot for help, is there any compatibility issue that prevents Verizon from activating? or just Verizon being itself? I always have bad experience when it comes to their technical support.
Regards,
Its Verizon being Verizon. They won't activate anything not officially Verizon
I am trying to buy a z3 tablet and I can only find the international version which is sgp611. Will this work fine in the states ? The Sony sales rep said the states only had white and the international version some apps won't work ? Has anyone tested it out yet?
Mine is SGP621 but works great
I have the SGP621 also been using it for a month and works well on tmo for voice and data

I just got mine this Saturday and it works great with my T-Mobile nano-SIM card. I can confirm that it works on T-Mobile HSPA+ and LTE as well as AT&T. It has a penta band radio both on 3G and 4G givening you the ability to us U.S.A. LTE bands.
