Hi.. Anybody using this phone in India? I'm planning to get this from US but somebody said that Volte/Vowifi doesnt work and Jio doesn't work. Can someone confirm please? I love the compact size and battery.
My friend is coming from the US and I want to get this. I have Jio and BSNL.

In answer to your question, it'll depend on the version you get. If you're buying from the USA, then chances are you'll be getting the 'C' version. Check the frequencies (4G and 5G) of the phone on GSMArena, then cross reference those frequency bands with the Indian carrier's frequency bands to see if those are compatible.
Beyond that, I can't say whether said carrier will have a white or black list that could potentially block the phone.
Did you get the US version? How well is it working in India?

Hi,
Getting ready to pull the trigger on this phone from Clove UK.
Just one question, will I get full LTE speeds on TMobile service???
Does it support all the US bands? Can't find that info anywhere.
Any gurus here have the answer?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Ken
I have the Korean Variant G965N on the T-Mobile, you can follow my thread for my experience and usage as I test it on the network.

Both links are strangely wrong. Thanks ahead of time for fixing them.
All I've heard is that it is missing 1 T-Mobile band, but I don't know which one.

Hello everyone. I'm fairly new here.
I had a moto e4 plus but I'm ditching it as I've bought a redmi 5 plus 4 /64 (I believe) from eglobal.
The terrible thing is that I don't know which carrier it works on. I didn't do much research. I just read that it was really good for the money so I bought it impulsively.
It's all my fault, I know.
Can anyone be so kind as to tell me what carrier it'll work on? I tried to do it myself but all the different bands and networks and frequencies confused me.
I'm in the USA in Texas, if that helps any.
Thank you in advance.

All those letters and numbers confuse me.
Would you kindly tell me what carriers I'll be able to use with this device?
T-mobile, boost, virgin, etc...

There is a suggestion why don't you borrow sim card from any of your friend and check either it will work or not.
Or you may go to service center and try different carriers.
Redmi 5 Plus supports almost all kind of popular carriers I am from Pakistan and have friends of almost all countries and they use use redmi 5 plus with carriers available at their country.
Regards
The problem is that everyone I know uses Boost mobile so I have no way of testing it on other carriers. I don't think I can test on Boost because they don't use sim cards.
I think I saw on YouTube that I'll be able to use AT&T, cricket wireless and T-mobile. Can anyone confirm?
Ps. I don't actually have the phone yet. Supposed to arrive Thursday.

The global version should work on most popular carriers. I can't say for the US but for the PH, Smart and Globe (carrier duopoly) work perfectly fine and support voLTE
Can ANYONE who has the Mate 20 Pro and has T-Mobile (U.S.) as well confirm whether or not VoLTE is an option?? Please, if you do have it, let me know. Also, please: 1) Provide a screenshot of a phone call in progress (using stock calling app) 2) Provide the model # (L09 ((Single SIM) or L29 ((Dual SIM))). 3) Mention if Wi-Fi Calling is listed as well or not. 4) A screenshot of the settings page with VoLTE listed would be helpful as well, but it's NOT as important as #1.
Thank you all in advance!!

Ok. Thanks leo! That sux.
Anyone got the L29 Dual SIM version?? If so, VoLTE?!! lol
LYA-L29 does not have T-Mobile VoLTE.
Strangely, the Mate 20 X does support T-Mobile VoLTE.

WTF? You have proof of this?? lol
It doesn't have anything to do with T-Mobile certifying one phone for Volte and not the other--both support the necessary bands. There's just a line of code different in the OS.
With the Xiaomi Mix 2 & Mix 2S the former supported Volte on T-Mobile and the latter didn't despite having the same modem and band support. But in MIUI a dial code turns off the coding for carrier check and voila--the 2S supports Volte on T-Mobile just like the Mix 2.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything like that on Huawei phones but a software update could easily add Volte compatibility.

The thing with T-Mobile is, your phone can have Band 12 on it, but T-Mobile doesn't allow you to use for calls (only data) unless the phone has certified VoLTE on it. At least THIS is what I was told. But you may be right b/c the newest Sony phone (Xperia XZ3) as far as I know doesn't have T-Mo VoLTE certification, yet when I got it (and later returned it cuz the camera was surprisingly under par), I was able to have VoLTE on a call b/c, just not in 4G LTE. But the call showed "HD+" which means VoLTE was there, even w/o VoLTE in the Settings menu. And the newest T-Mobile 2018 phones (meaning the ones sold by T-Mo directly) don't have it listed either...........so I dunno anymore! lol I guess now it's not about having 4G LTE during a call, it's about if you see HD+ or HD something while making a call on the stock phone app.
Wow! That's pretty cool. Yeah I hope Huawei does that. I just got the OnePlus 6T from T-Mo and traded in my LG V30, so it's too late now anyway. I'd still like to see proof of the 20X having it though, cuz next spring I am considering upgrading again (since I got 6T for only $280 with trade-in) to the P30 Pro maybe. But if no VoLTE, again I will pass on it.
Anyone here get Volte on T-Mobile with Mate 20 Pro?
I was not able to find a way to get volte working on my l29, but I did install tmo digits. After the install, I called someone and was able to stay on 4g lte and was able to use wifi calling(using my number) . I think its a great work around.

Would you know if Mate 20 hma-l29 supports volte on tmobile? Edit. No it don't.
Some claim neither does the Mate 20x, yet you seem to say not.

Hi Guys,
I'm from Sri Lanka
I brought a pixel 6 (G9S9B) it's OEM and bootloader unlocked but when I trying to download a ESIM (In Sri Lanka) with it I got a error.
If anyone help with this, it's highly appreciated
same issue for me too. I'm from Sri Lanka too. I've read some thread similar to this as they all said its on our carrier's hand, however according to them (our carrier) they have address our e-sim profile accurately. Any thoughts? BTW I did even try to add the e-sim profile even after converting to a global version (G9S9B to GB7N6), but no luck. Same result as the OP/my friend here.
You may received an Verizon mobile, which is carrier locked, so it won't accept any other SIM cards.
Try with a physical SIM whether any error message.
However, the number showing in the screenshot belongs to AT&T.
Cheers

AT&T and Verizon both lock the eSIM, rendering the eSIM useless outside of the AT&T or Verizon networks.
You'll have to use a physical SIM, and before you ask, to the best of my knowledge there is no way of unlocking the eSIM.
Wow then I have no solution

And now you know why we tell people not to bother with carrier devices. What you should have done was bought a Japanese Pixel 6, as those have mmwave 5G in addition to sub-6 5G and an unlocked eSIM, once some software mods are made to change it to an international version.
I didn't know that
Hey guys when i go to Sony website and look up bootloader unlock instructions. it says the US variant is locked by verizon.
this is the version i have. Does that mean i cannot unlock bootloader? do i need to return my phone and the global version? The guides posted on here don't seem to mention the model number as if it matters.
Unlock Bootloader - Open Devices - Sony Developer World
developer.sony.com
Unless anything has changed, it is generally known that Verizon phones have a locked bootloader for customer security and in Verizon's interest.

Yea I am a first time sony buyer. the phone i have is actually the 5 IV which we don't have a forum for yet.
I usually am buying older phones with established guides and hacks to unlock on here. So i simply missed this since i didn't see it plastered everywhere on the front page of the some other sony forums. my bad.
I am not surprised. just ordered the wrong one thinking it didn't matter for the sony brand.
returning mine now. and ordering the 72.

It's the same reason I returned US version and bought international version ct72 . So make sure about bands supports for 71 it has 66 which is TMobile and band 41 which i get some good speed depending on the location I'm in.
same here I wanted to root and Use Repainter app and change fonts and I did have the CT62, but I return it back to Sony and bought the CT72, sad that sony doesn`t allow the bootloader to be unlocked on the CT62.

Right i thought they allowed bootloader unlocked on any Xperia really sucks that they didn't allowed it on US specially if I'm paying 1600+ on it lol

my exact thoughts, 1600.00, no thanks, buy the CT72 and save some money, only thing is you don`t get the USA warranty when you buy the Non-US version, and some missing 5G band`s and the missing MMWave bands
As @2015Ducatimulti mentioned, there is something missing there between the two version.
There is Hardware differences between CT72 and CT62. The US version supports has mmW support and also more bands that are available in the US such as band 2, 66, and 71 used by TMO in addition to mmW 260 and 261.
if your carrier does not have use of these bands and mmW frequencies, then the CT72 should still work as long as you flash the US version ROM. otherwise, you will have coverage issues due and high call drops due to the limited US band support

Flashing US ROM on ct72 will give you signal issues. So far i haven't found a way to get signal working on it.
That might make sense since the RF hardware is different between them and hence the software might not work as expected
FWIW, I just got the Xperia 1 IV, CT-72, using it on AT&T (primary subscriber, no MVNO). Just using the stock ROM, didn't flash any other ROMS.
So far I appear to have 5G as well as VoLTE. No VoWIFI, but I don't care about that anyway.
I'll use it for another week or so to see if AT&T decides to shutdown service for a non whitelisted device, but so far so good. And it was $840 new, vs $1600 for the USA version, so a HUGE cost difference
I by the way did first have to do the trick where you disable dual-sim and only use the primary SIM slot.
