Does anyone in the US have the Huawei P20 Lite in the US and running on T-Mobile? I want to get this for my wife and I want to make sure it will work. I've read conflicting information regarding base bands so I don't really trust any of those websites. If someone could provide their experience, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I know the European p20 pro volte works on T-Mobile USA, do any European firmwares for the mate 10 pro work with T-Mobile USA volte?
I'm concerned about us region not getting updates.
Currently I'm on BLA-A09 c567
Same here. USA versions are lagging WAY behind other variants in terms of updates. I wonder if this has to do with the USA government recommending against Huawei devices. Is the Huawei saying F U back to the USA?
I would assume that is certainly the case. They have probably given up and do not feel any necessity to service a lost market.
I have given up any hope of getting any future huawei flagship devices here, hopefully will still be able to import them from europe if they they are not completely banned and that volte will work.

I've got the same issue and I spoke to Huawei US and they said we are getting the updates on July.... I initially believed it was an FU to the USA about VoLTE not working on the international brand of the phone while it works just fine on the P20 but now I believe that's pure sales strategy. Since there is no USA version of the P20 Pro, of course they can allow VoLTE to work out of the box in the USA. But since there is a us version of the Mate 10 Pro, they likely need to differentiate to sell more USA versions. That's my 2 cents. I'll be curious to see if these updates come in July as I was told.
Lastly - the most frustrating thing about Huawei is they say it's not them limiting the international version of the phone with VoLTE in the USA (BLA-L29) but it's the carrier. But we know this is complete bull**** because there is a carrier file on the International phone and US VoLTE is turned off. If you root your phone, you can turn it on and it works just fine. Not sure why they just can't be honest...

Hi folks,
I have a Huawei Mate 10 Pro purchased in Europe (Germany), I'm going to travel in the US so I would like to know if the phone can be used in the US and with which carriers (I'm currently looking at TMobile and AT&T).
I''m asking because I was looking on some carrier websites and none seem to have the Huawei Mate 10 Pro listed in their compatibility list, but perhaps I just don't know where to look.
Thanks in advance for your help, it's much appreciated... I wouldn't want to spend a lot of money on a sim/plan only to find out it doesn't work with my phone.
I have the Mate 10 PR US version but cannot get 4G/LTE to work on AT&T network. anyone else have this problem?

As the title says I'm think about getting this phone. I have a honor 8 right now, US version. My question is would I better off getting the international version of the mate 10 pro. Will the BLA-A29 world phone have a better chance of security updates as opposed to the BLA-A09 US version. It looks like the lte bands are the same on both. I'm on ATT network and from reading many reviews the BLA-A29 seems to work for people on ATT. thanks
Mate 10 Pro version
The international version would work on at&t, and would "probably" get updates faster that the US model, depending on the regional variant of course
Does anyone know why you can't create a Huawei ID if you are in Canada? There is no region available for Canada or the US.
It's not available for us man. That's what sucks about using Huawei. They want us to use their phones, but we can't have those services. Figure that one out.
I have a Mate 10 Pro in the US (BLA-A09, C567) stuck on EMUI 9. Huawei customer support is no help and based on some research it looks like this is the final EMUI that will be released in the US.
I saw some posts where people say that using a non-US SIM card can help get an OTA update - I ordered a free SIM from Giffgaff in UK, I assume I just need to pop that in and go to see if a new update is available? Is there any risk/danger to doing this and then putting in my original SIM? I want to update but don't want to brick my phone or lose features. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Edit: In case it matters, I'm on T-Mobile but am soon switching to Mint.
