I have just spent time with Tmobile trying to get the 1520 set up on Tmobile's system in Michigan. They could not get to work on LTE. They could get it to work on 3G. But I have noticed that in operation it frequently has problems staying that mode. It seems to be missing the jokey band necessary for LTE. Disappointing to be sure but still a great phone/tablet.

No, Straight Talk and Walmart limit their customers ability to use out of network devices. You have to buy all 4G Straight Talk phones brand new from a Walmart location for them to work with their service. Thanks, Zach

I just went to the Walmart site and they don't mention that little fact until the very end of the description, way down on the page! I would imagine they are getting tons of complaints about this because people will most certainly unknowingly buy it without realizing, and it says there are no returns. How are they getting away with this? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tmobile-30-Wireless-Airtime-Card/15443357#rr I also looked on the T-mobile site (they are my carrier) and they do have that same plan listed and says it is available exclusively at Walmart and T-mobile, but it DOES NOT say it can only be used on phones purchased there or at Walmart.

Our version is the one designed for the Australian market. It works fine in the US, but we only get 3G with Tmobile because the frequency for 4g lte for T-Mobile is different than is used in Australia. We haven't used it in Europe yet. Even at 3g, it seems fast. Great phone and camera.

It is compatible only in GSM network. 3G doesn't work in T-Mobile. In fact, this phone is for AT&T; network.

Yes,it can work with Straight Talk from Wal Mart,as it supports 2G:GSM850/900/1800/1900MHz and 3G:WCDMA900/1900/2100MHz,pls check the SIM Card before you buy it,thanks for your attention.

Quoad is right - it will NOT work with T-Mobile USA's 3G network (though it WILL work on T-Mobile's 3G networks in Europe). This North American edition supports 3G (UMTS) over 850, 1900 and 2100 MHz - the former two are used by AT&T Wireless and many other carriers in the Americas, whereas 2100 MHz is used internationally. T-Mobile USA uses a different band, 1700 MHz, which is not (yet) supported by any Symbian/S60 phone. Also, of course, it will not work with CDMA carriers such as Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular, MetroPCS, etc.

Thank you, I see this will not work correctly with T-mobil at this time. I needed 1700 and 2100 gsm and the LTE needs to be channel 4. I believe your model has channel 4 LTE but not 1700/2100 gsm for the network.

Straight talk offers 2 types of phones, ones that take sim cards and run on the att towers and one that don't and run off of Verizon. If u have straight talk right now and have a sim my best guess is that it will work just not sure if u would have 3 / 4G speeds. I have AT&T; 45$ plan from Walmart and the reception in towns and city's is excellent. If you aren't sure or want to double check all u should have to do is take your current set up into a Walmart and make sure it's the sim set up and the towers you'll run off of. If you want to know more about this phone specifically i can leave an email address to contact me at. It may have a few minor settings that may need to be adjusted for your area.

It should work on At&t; with no problems, and will receive 4g in an area with refarmed T-Mobile coverage. I use Walmart mobile which runs T-Mobile network and get edge, our area is new 4g only not refarmed. It should work perfectly on any att carrier, but check their frequency to make sure your phone accepts their frequency.

Yes, if the phone is listed as 'unlocked' then it work with T-Mobile, because this is a GSM/SIM card smartphone. Note that the phone takes a regular full sized sim card (not micro sim card), and that 4G might not work with T-Mobile service (3G only is what some folks are reporting).

I use it overseas and it works perfectlly with my 3G carrier, it should work the same with T-Mobile.

So I had posted earlier based on the seller's data. Anyways, I just received the phone today and this is what I find: This phone is completely unlocked, 9900 model that works with AT&T (USA), Rogers, Telus and Bell (Canada). Unlike what is mentioned in the technical description, it supports the 850Mhz UMTS as well, so you get full 3G speed with AT&T. This will not give you 3G with T-Mobile as it does not support the 1700 MHz band. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does this product have the 1700/2100 band? The seller's description does not state so. Without this band, the phone will not be able to work on T-Mobile 3G. It is a GSM phone, so no Sprint or Verizon. Also, without the 850 MHz UMTS, it will also not serve AT&T. Hence, without 1700/2100 (note only 2100 will not work and listening/transmitting frequencies are different) this phone will not get 3G speeds for ANY major US telecom operator (EDGE may be present). Can the seller please clarify?

Ma be the frequency, this model use 850/1900/2100 3G, perhaps T Mobile use 900/1900/2100 so you have to get de Model I8190 wich works with this frequencies or try to get S4 Mini quad band works in all the fequencies. I hope this coments had been helpfull for you. Best Regards.

Yes: 3G capable and will work with tmobile sim card. Wi-fi speed is not a problem. 3G speed is kind of slow if you're not near a wi-fi. If you have a need for fast internet when you're on the road, get a 4G phone (more expensive of course).

I am not sure you can email or call sony customer service. I brought mine unlocked just inserted my tmobile sim card in and it worked with no trouble. I hope that was some help. Good Luck
