I recently sold my Nexus 5 because my phone first web data plan from t-mobile is blocked from using data on the N5, my old nexus 4 works just fine.
I am thinking about getting the Z ultra c6833, does anyone have either the t-zone or phone first web data plan that can confirm it works? And are you able to get LTE working if so with which APN?
Thanks.
I have the same question too... I'm planning to get the XPERIA Z1 C6903. I want to know does my current 5.99 t-zone works with it and get LTE signal n able to do hotspots??
Right now I'm getting HSDPA on my XPERIA S n I can do tether
Tzones works fine with LTE on the 6833
Use fast.t-mobile.com for the APN.

you'll be fine if you stay away from phones sold by T Mobile. Any unlocked phone Bougt internationally are not subject to the upcell.

Not the AT&T Note, but you can with the international Note.

Your Inspire SIM is 4G, right? Could you ask them for an LTE SIM for the Inspire and then see if it works with the Note. (I assume it will.) GoPhone doesn't have any LTE SIM option right now, correct? Thanks.
Somewhat different, but I have an H20 prepaid SIM I use in my AT&T Note while travelling. No data is available, but voice calls and SMS work just fine.
A thought
Has anyone tried to create a non lte apn and get data working with a non lte sim. I have an lte sim but had created a non lte apn and was using that since there is no lte in Omaha yet.
Cheers.

First off, welcome to XDA.
Yes. You can use a go phone SIM card with the AT&T Note. But I can't personally recommend it.
Just tell a rep that you need a new SIM card (full sized) and they'll give you one. With a go phone account, you may need to bring your LG phone into the store if your name isn't on the account.
As for getting the phone to work properly. There are a few tricks. One that I haven't personally tried is wiping the EFS folder to give the phone a "generic IMEI".
There are a lot of great tutorials for getting most Androids to work with go phone service on XDA. Just keep in mind your data speeds will not be good. (I believe you will be throttled to 1mb dl)
Of course, if you can! I have it so! and I works great but it must be with a new sim card and prepaid active. You can also change the vpn! I did and it works fine!

Hi guys,
I just got my C6806, and went to AT&T to activate it. But I'm only getting HSPA+, and no LTE speed. I'm using the apn setting that the phone automatically downloaded. Do I need to change the apn setting myself in order to get LTE? The phone is on 532 firmware.
Thanks.

You may need to edit your APN. I would take the settings from another ATT LTE phone and create a new APN or just edit yours if necessary. I should be getting mine tomorrow and if you can't get yours to work I will do mine and let you know what I did.
Later
this is what I've got for att. I have c6833, so it's not on lte, but you can try it anyways. got those settings off att website.

Hi eureka9, I don't think this has to do with the APN settings. I believe this is an issue with AT&T based on my research with my dad's Xperia ZL.
Based on what I have read, AT&T has a list of approved devices (or IMEI, not sure which) that can use the LTE network (basically the phones you can buy from AT&T). Because Sony's new devices (XZ, XZL, XZU, etc.) are not offered by AT&T, the best you can get is HSPA.
The way to get around this is to have your line associated with an approved LTE device (e.g.: SGS3) then just take the SIM and put it in your ZU. I came off of a Galaxy Note 2 but I didn't not call AT&T to "activate" or anything, just put the SIM in. My ZU connects with LTE (when there's reception of course but that's a whole other issue). I can do a screenshot and post if you want (just need to know how to do that, got my ZU just yesterday and loving it).
With my dad's Xperia ZL, he was coming off a Moto Atrix 2 which has no LTE capabilities. Calling AT&T and activating the Xperia ZL didn't help as he still only got HSPA. I did a test and put in my SIM from my Galaxy Note 2 (this was several months back BTW) and voila, LTE connection.
As mentioned, I did some digging when working with my dad's XZL and besides having a SIM already activated with a LTE phone, some AT&T stores may be nice enough to put a "dummy" IMEI from a LTE phone (like a demo unit or something). If you Google "AT&T Xperia ZL LTE" (or something like that), you should find some posts on other forums that talk about this method (but YMMV depending on the store). I haven't done this myself but I'm planning on switching to T-Mobile anyways.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much for your replies!
I tried the APN on a HTC One with LTE working, but no luck.
I think it's probably as nOrbX187 said, AT&T didn't want me to have LTE speed if I'm not buying stuff from them.. Anyway I'll try putting my gf's HTC One's sim card in the Ultra and see if it works.
By the way, if I register the HTC One's imei with the sim card of my Ultra, will the HTC One still have LTE?
My understanding is that if the ph is international unlocked, then you will not get lte on att. So my question is whether the xperia z ultra sold by sony USA is international unlocked or non international unlocked?
Can someone enlighten me on this?
Thanks

It's completely unlocked.

Funk2641,
Thanks for your reply. I have another question.
Since unlocked's IMEI isn't in the ATT database, do I need to provide another IMEI number from another LTE ph in order to get LTE service for my c6806?
Can you explain your process of having it provisioned for LTE?
Thanks again
Hi antmay1,
I believe that is the case. All you really need is to have the IMEI of an AT&T LTE phone on the SIM card. Again, the key is that the IMEI needs to be an AT&T LTE PHONE.
Again, I just took the SIM which has been activated for my Galaxy Note 2 and put it in my ZU and I get LTE.
As mentioned in my post, some AT&T stores may be able to help you out but YMMV per store.
Hope this helps.

Thanks nOrbX187 for your prompt reply. I have an iphone 4s LTE capable that I am not using. But the iphone 4s uses a different sim card and I cannot just drop it into the z Ultra. I will have to bring both the iphone 4s and Z Ultra to the ATT store for them to activate my ultra with LTE service.
you sure? i went from 4s to z ultra and its the same sim size. the 4s is "4G", but lte didnt come until the 5. if you call 611 from an iphone, itll send you to a iphone call center. explain you have a factory unlocked phone and theyll usually just set you up with right plan since they are only really trained for iphone support. the tech i called even called sony and got the specs of the hardware to troubleshoot my network issues. lol

Another question for you. When you setup the new ultra using the previous iphone 4s account, did you manage to get LTE on the new ultra?
Thanks,

no LTE since I'm missing the 700 band. I got anxious and ordered the international version. att didn't have the phone in database so it defaulted me to a unlimited blackberry plan. they changed it to a generic unlimited plan instead. even as we speak, the phone icon I have is for a grayed out flip samsung when I'm managing my account online.
the plan they have me on is a LTE plan, but I'll probably never get to use it unless the USA changes bands all of a sudden. not planning on holding my breath for that one. I get 5mbps download on hspa+ so I'm happy. faster than most base home Internet services. lol

I chatted with att this afternoon, and have the imei of my gf's HTC One associated with my ZU. Both phones have lte now.
So the solution is to just get any ATT lte enabled phone, and register its imei with your ZU.
Do certain APNs need to be changed to allow the C8606 to enable the LTE?

Just leave the default APN settings for the ZU for AT&T.
Just find a LTE at&t phone. Put your Sim in and make sure you get LTE data service. If not call AT&T and have them change your plan to an LTE plan. Once that is done you can take the Sim out and use it on the ZU and you should be getting LTE service.
That's all I did with mine. Setup my ion, or 920 forget which one it was, initially and ever since any phone I use can utilize LTE (provided it supports it that is and is unlocked if not an at&t phone)

I got my 6806 and had the same problem. Luckily my corporate IT dept (it's a company number/SIM/data plan) was able to help me out.
They took an IMEI number from a GS4 that was overheating, and called AT&T to update my number and SIM with the IMEI from the GS4. Power down and back up again, and boom - LTE.
(Wow I need to update my sig!)

I put the nano sim in an adapter in the 6806, only had h+
Switched sim to the larger micro sim and had at&t switch imei to an android imei
Restart phone
Boom
Lte baby!
Does this tablet work on the Tmobile network in USA? Model #SGP351/B. Wondering cause of the free data for life thing Tmobile is promoting right now. Some say it does, others say no and that it is AT&T only. So if anyone that has used it on Tmobile's network please let me know before I commit to the LTE model otherwise I'd just get the wifi model. Thanks! Oh and is it worth getting the Sony dock for it?
Just went out to T-Mobile and their system rings up this tablet as a phone.. Lol doesn't qualify. Goodbye LTE model hello WiFi. ;(

I've been so excited for the Moto Z, but I just learned that the unlocked version will be GSM only. Great.
I use a local carrier that is CDMA. We use Verizon towers and LTE so phone calls, data, and text messages will work but MMS will not work without the proper APN settings. My girlfriend bought a Moto X from Moto Maker a couple years back, and since there was no unlocked version at the time she went with the Verizon version. She was unable to edit the APN settings until the Lollipop update hit her phone. For some reason Lollipop allowed her to edit her APN.
My question is, do you think the Verizon Moto Z will be the same way? Kinda of bummed I might have to miss out on this phone, or go without MMS. Really making me consider switching carriers.
Where did you learn that the unlocked Z will be GSM only? I would think they'd follow in the success of the MXP. I've personally ordered 5 of them. If the Z has an unlockable bootloader and its CDMA capable I'll be ordering them as well.

Apologies I don't really understand what it means when manufacturers say the phone won't be available in the US market. Does it mean the phone simply won't support a US carrier's SIM? Or that they won't ship it to a US address? Thanks for any help. Really like this phone and would like to purchase it.
It won't be sold in the US. The international model still has most of the bands required for use with AT&T in the US, however. Not sure how well it'll work but it will work. I'm planning on getting the international Mate 10 for use on AT&T.

I had ATT prepaid card when I was trawelling in the USA this spring. I crossed 7 countries and had LTE almost everywhere. No problem with calls, sms, mms, data and wifi calling (duo) but I didn't have Volte - maybe because I used prepaid.
