Experiences using this phone in the US? Is AT&T or T-Mobile a better carrier for it?

Getting t-mo 4g in the US as well as 4g in Germany (Fonic/o2) without a problem, if coverage is there.

In the US, T-Mobile would be the better choice for 4G LTE support. Since this phone does not support the 700 LTE band used by AT&T;, you will not get LTE support on AT&T; in most areas. It does support both LTE bands used by T-Mobile nationwide.

Hi there! I really appreciate your post. So I am wondering though, you did not have no problem buying this phone on Amazon and dealing with At&t;? It seems that everything went smooth for you! Is there anything else that I need to know. Thanks L.Beltran!

Without doing some research this phone will work in the US but definitely is not set up for ATT 3G (the carrier I used). It's unlocked and seems to be more set up for european bands. It may work on T-mobile 3G. I would guess that you can get EDGE service anywhere in the world on this phone though. I just made do with 2G coverage wheni was using it. Hopefully that's not too disorganized and answers your questions.

I don't use it. I bought it for my boyfriend but he didn't care for the AT&T; service I bought for it through straight talk, so he ended up going back to Verizon. It seemed to be pretty basic though. I bought it for him because he works on heavy equipment and it seemed rugged enough. Hope this helps.

It works for me. Only in the US, the phone only has 3G capability vs. 4G in Europe. 3G is fast enough for me. I don't notice any difference,.

I got it working in the US with T-Mobile and works great!It happens that I travel a lot to London and Lommel in Belgium and works fantastic too. This has been a great phone for me

Yes to both questions. I've had one for about 14 months and it arrived unlocked and ready for my SIM card. But be sure that the frequency bands it offers are compatible with your needs. For use in North America, this phone has the 1900 mhz band for both calls and 3G data. That's compatible with most of AT&T;'s coverage area and some of T-Mobile's (only large cities at this juncture), but not every single square inch of either. Checking the applicable coverage map will answer that question. I hope this was helpful. :)

ATT in US??? That's what I need, but I am unsure of compatibllity with ATT (and company return policy if product fails in US).

I used it in Africa (Tanzania) just this past September. It's all about your service provider, not the 3g phone specifically. And I didn't change out sims. Just called AT&T before I left and added int'" calls/text for a fee (temporary). Dropped the intl service as soon as i returned to the states

I have straight talk (an at&t; company) and it gets service just fine. H+ speed (4G), data and Internet work great!

Yes. I'm a T mobile subscriber and the phone works fine - have them change your sim card to the US version. Something called 3G H+ versus 4G will be your internet speed.

When I cam home to the US I purchased my sim from AT&T.; It works great. I was using it in Brazil and using a TIM sim.

Yes it runs great on at&t.; I'm using them. As for the LTE speed, it all depends on your location. In some areas you will be accessing the internet using LTE. In others, the phone will switch to either the 3G or HSPA networks. This is a really cool phone. I'm enjoying it way more than the iphone I replaced with this one.

I just activated mine with the AT&T; sim card on Straight Talk and so far its wonderful. Coming from horrible Boost Mobile and a janky phone to this would be heaven regardless. But compared to contract services I've had in the past, this is an excellent phone and service

I believe the only difference with the two different models is that the international version uses HSPA+ vs the US model that works on LTE/4G. I'm currently using mine with AT&T; on HSPA+ and am very happy with the data speed. I cannot speak for other carriers at this time.

My carrier is US Cellular. When I purchased this phone, it said that US Cellular was the carrier so it worked good for me. If you are thinking about buying one, make sure it will work with your phone provider.

This model is unlocked, so yes it should work with AT&T.; I've used it with many carriers in a couple countries with no issues. BUT THIS PHONE IS TERRIBLE, IS THE WORST I'VE HAD, IT IS NOT RELIABLE AT ALL, IS REALLY SLOW, CRASHES A LOT, HAS ISSUES WITH THE SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, VIBRATING, SENSORS, BATTERY, I DON'T RECOMMEND IT AT ALL.
