[Q] Wi-Fi calling on T-Mobile - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

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?

[Q] Sony Xperia Z Ultra compatibility questions

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.

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

[Q] Z2 on AT&T

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.

I've heard this before so I'm glad. Thanks!

GSM sim unlocked?

Does anyone know if the Verizon Moto Z will work with a GSM sim?
Why would you buy it from Verizon when they will have the GSM unlocked version in a couple of months.
I just picked up the Moto Z from Verizon, and while they are factory unlocked, the phone has message that the sim is not a Verizon sim. And I'm not getting LTE, just H+, even though the at&t LTE bands are supported.

Yes I did. Still on H+
I think what is interesting is when you goto motorola.com and build one in MotoMaker no where does it say it is for Verzion (or unlocked for that matter). Little misleading to non-Verizon consumers.
I have full LTE service on my Verizon Moto Z and Moto Z Force on AT&T in California. The phone actually functions better when I delete the APN completely and reboot the phone rather than typing in the actual NXTGENPHONE APN. You may want to try that.

Got a Sony Xperia XA Ultra F3216 Dual Sim on Tmobile USA network which limit me to 2G setting. Is there anything I can do to upgrade it to 3G or LTE so that my connectivity will be better? Bought this phone online and was not informed it was an International Version whereas I can not enable/disable APN settings for Tmobile because it was grayed out. My phone is already in Nougat. Anybody who can help or give some information will be highly appreciaited. thanks!

Hi, you can sell your phone and go buy a F3213. Sorry but it's not a joke, the F3216 have a bad compatibility with T-mobile network, look here to understand :
