I about to buy this tablet, but have some concerns regarding the LTE version support with T-Mobile in the USA.
Can i use a phone sim with this tablet? **Just to be clear in regards to phone sim with T-Mobile i mean that i can use the tablet on a phone plan (voice+data) and not data only like they did in the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact**
Does it support T-Mobiles LTE bands?

Hi,
1. Yes with nano sim. Userguide: http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz4tablet/userguide/
2. You can download the whitepaper for th SGP771 here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/whitepapers/xperia-z4-tablet-sgp771-white-paper/
And see if the T-Mobiles band is supported. (And I have no doubt that it is supported)

Doesn't say anything about T-Mobile in the US. Even when some tablets support it it is block by their network and if you put a phone sim card on it it will only do calls/sms and no data or you need to use a data-device sim card which doesnt support calls. Hence my question in regards to an specific provider.
I have a T-Mobile sim in mine right now. I can tell you that I DO NOT have a phone app in order to make calls. I am using a sim card from my second phone account. It connects to LTE fine and has good speeds on data. I am not sure if it's because the tablet is considered international or if it's blocked from T-Mobile. I contacted Sony and did not get much information.
I wish the OP or others would chime in about this. @legendindisguise may I ask what model yours is and where you got it from? What makes it more challenging is that the model number is SGP771 (right?) but for some it works for others not, so perhaps like the OP said the network is somehow blocking this feature?
Just to add to this post there is two model versions of the SGP771 with wifi and LTE I believe.
International version 43015809
Alledged US version 13035541
UK model ? Comes with keyboard 12957383
I just got a SIM card for my Xperia Z4 Tablet LTE (SGP771 / 13035541) on the AT&T network with a new AT&T account. This SIM is a new line with Phone+Data and I am having an issue making calls and making data connections (websites, etc..). I am still investigating and will update everyone when I figure something out. Odd thing is that the tablet connects to the network enough to display AT&T, the correct phone number assigned to the device, and 3 AT&T APNs, but nothing is working.

Totally forgot to update this post! Works great on the AT&T network. I did have to call AT&T to update the APN details but after that it works great. I can make phone calls and use the LTE data without any issues. I even took it to Spain and it worked great there too.

Hello, I recently visited the USA (Las Vegas) and discovered that my UK bought (UNLOCKED) Samsung Galaxy S3 could not make nor receive calls in the USA. Roaming WAS enabled and I had an R symbol over the signal strength indicator. I have a Vodafone pay as you go sim card which I have used (as my main sim) over numerous years now. I have used it in other phones previously (HTC, Samsung, LG, etc.) over the years and they have all made and received calls in the USA (roaming) no problem. I did get a text message (eventually) when I was in the USA saying welcome to USA and calls cost £1.50, etc, etc. Yet when I tried making a call, I had an automated voice message asking me to contact my operator for some reason (can't remember the specifics). I've never had a problem using my Vodafone sim roaming in the USA and with previous phones, always made and received calls without any hassle (i.e. found a network automatically, e.g. AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.). Also, I visited Las Vegas last year with the same sim card but a different phone (HTC Desire HD) and was able to make and receive calls. I recall my brother saying that he had read something on the internet about the UK spec. S3 having hardware differences with the rest of the world versions, including not being able to work in the USA for calls. However, he could not find the site again. Has anybody else had this problem or know about it?

I have no idea about roaming in the USA...
However, I do know that the phone works on AT&Ts network, because I live in the USA & use the I9300 on AT&Ts network. The I9300 will not work on T-Mobile's data network, but should work on T-Mo's voice network.
That probably wasn't much help to you. I just wanted to confirm for you that the phone does work on AT&Ts network here.

Thanks brkshr, that was helpful. Good to know that a GT-I9300 does work in the USA.
I thought the USA had different models (SGH-T999 and SGH-I747). What made you decide to get a GT-I9300?
I may try again (next time I go back to USA) and if still the same, will try an AT&T sim. I must admit, I don't know anything about the different networks in the USA. Can I get a pay as you go sim for free? In England, you can get sim cards for different networks free and then obviously pay to top up.

You are correct. The U.S. does have it's own variations. I decided to buy the I9300 for the quad-core & I was hoping that Samsung would be more likely to release sources for it & update it faster. They do update the I9300 faster, but I prefer AOSP (Google's stock Android) over Samsungs TouchWiz & that's where sources come in to play. So now I wish I would have gone with a U.S. variant, because sources for the US variant are released. Oh well! (Sorry for the rant)
Unfortunately, we don't get free SIM cards here. The best thing to do is buy an AT&T SIM card online ahead of time. Then activate it on a prepaid plan when you get here. You need a Micro SIM card. They should cost anywhere from $5 to $15. Otherwise, you have to go into an AT&T store & buy their 'SIM Starter Kit' for $25... Complete BS.

Thanks again, the link (to Amazon) is very useful. I think I will get an AT&T pre-paid sim card as suggested. At least that way I can use mobile data (when wi-fi is not available) and not have to pay extortionate data roaming charges. Especially useful for mobile data assisted GPS.
One last question though. In the UK, you can keep your number even if you don't top up for ages. In the US, can you buy a pre-paid sim card, use it once, not top up for say a year and still be able to use the sim again, i.e. it won't be deactivated will it? That way I can have it as a holiday sim (I visit the US every year).

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.
As for the OP, his sim probably isn't provisioned for LTE. It works completely fine in my Ultra.

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

ij0rgei, Thanks for replying. I will check the size of the sim card on my iphone 4s. From what I have googled, 4s uses the nano sim card and the ultra uses the micro sim card. But I could very well be wrong since you switched from 4s to Ultra.

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.

Has anyone tried using a T-Mobile SIM in a smartphone as either a strictly data only device or in a device with two SIM trays for supplementary data? I am very interested in doing this with the 5x if it is possible. Thanks in advance.
There is a selection for which sim you want to use for Mobile Data in the SIM Management however since the device is a Dual Sim Passive device you will have to manually change to the Data only SIM once you run out of data on your primary phone SIM.

Difference between tablet and phone plan
What is the technical difference between the tablet and phone plans? I have a tablet Sim in my second slot and I am able to receive and send text messages. When I go on the website it lists my plan as having unlimited text and calls. Could I use this as my primary phone plan?
Hi All,
I was researching for a tablet that would work on T Mobile USA ( insert my current sim, will t mobile charge more? ) LTE network as well as allow me to make and receive phone calls using the headphones.
It appears the Z4 wifi LTE version is the one. Is there any other models/brands cheaper priced that would suffice?
Many thanks
I have an unlocked international Z4 tablet now and am using my T Mobile sim in for data usage. Unfortunately mine does not have the native phone app on it so I cannot make traditional phone calls, but can use hangouts no problem. My bill did not change, just put the sim in, made sure the APN settings were correct and I have not had an issue.

Wow, thanks for chiming in appreciate it. I was looking on Amazon, and most questions I found and answered were that this model could dial out directly.
I was under the impression that US specific models were disabled to make calls but no the international versions.

I got the same response from Sony when I sent them a message asking about the phone app.
"I just received information that in the country where your SGP711 was sold, i'm afraid SGP771 does not have a built-in dialer and support for phone calls"
I have seen that you can flash firmware or different builds and supposedly this will have the default phone app.

You could flash any international ROM for the Tablet or get hold of a dialer app.
FWIW: I am on the wifi version of the tablet (SGP 712) but just for the fun of it tried VOIP successfully. I use a phone for cell usage and VOIP.

if the dialer was disabled or deleted so easily flash an international rom version (very easy with flash tool) or
install a dialer of you choice from the play store

Below is the version I recently bought from an amazon seller open box / used as their new stock was sourced form S Korea and apparantly is dialler disabled. My version I believe is to be from China / HK region.
Below is the one I managed to find that has the dialler enabled ( got lucky ) Using Xperia Service Menu App from playstore:
customization ver 1296-4830 R9C
phone software: 1292-0698_32.2.A.0.305
Global=LTECA- user ( non dialer version would state Global=nodial-user ) I think
type : tm-061-bv
imei: 359058060xxxxxx

Where did you purchase the phone? I've been looking at the 7.2, but I can't get a straight answer if the US version supports dual SIM. The models I do see for sale that explicitly state dual sim are lacking US LTE bands. Perhaps you have one of those?

That's a good point I had not considered. I know I was trying to help the OP, but we were not successful.
I have model TA-1178 and it works fine on MetroPCS; however the SIM card tray only has one opening. The location for the second SIM is outlined but not removed 'cutout'.
I purchased mine Unlocked from Best Buy, and it is listed as Dual SIM. I just never paid much attention as it was a feature I did not need / want.
