Does anyone know what Nokia phones I can buy and use on T-mobile network?

[rell0614]

I'm currently stuck in a contract with Sprint, but I'll be switching to T-Mobile. They don't have the lumia 640 available yet, so I wanted to know what other Nokia phones you can use on the T-Mobile network, or where I could find the information. Thanks.

The ones that are guaranteed to be ready from the get go are the T-Mobile branded Lumia

521
925
810 (stuck on old firmware though)
635

However, there are devices you can get to work on T-Mobile, but you'll have to make sure the bands line up in order to get LTE and stuff.
e.g. some Lumia 735 and 830 models can work on T-Mobile, same with some others like I think the ROGERS (Canada) 1020...

Pretty sure Tmobile is getting both the 640 and the 640xl soon..

You can get a AT&T branded 1520 to work on T-Mobile.

1520.3 works great with TMobile.... Minus wifi calling.

As long as it's a GSM based phone, it'll work on T-Mobile. It all depends on what type of data speeds you want to run on T-Mobile's network.

You can also get a 735 (rm-1039) from B&H. Also supports LTE with T-Mobile.

Are you currently using your 1520 on T-Mobile's network, or AT&T?

They've a nice page at https://www.t-mobile.com/bring-your-own-phone.html

If your looking for a Lumia 1520, go for the 1520.3 or RM-938 (same phone, different names).

 

[RumoredNow]

Best "Last Gen" T-Mo branded 925
Best "Factory Unlocked" 1520.3
Best "Current Gen" wait for the T-Mo branded 640

Only option 2 cuts you out from the valuable WiFi calling. Or go really nuts and find some international Factory Unlocked models that support the frequencies you need like...

Nokia Lumia 1320 RM-995 8GB Smartphone A00017184 B&H Photo Video (should be a great match)

Tmobile hasn't said anything about the xl

 

[RumoredNow]

So far as I know it is 640 to T-Mo and 640 XL to ATT.

 

[deadwrong03]

Att is getting both the 640 and xl. The xl is supposed to be exclusive to att for some time according to rumors

Are you currently using your 1520 on T-Mobile's network, or AT&T?

I'm using it on both networks, there is a simple tweak that will turn on the T-Mobile 1700 band, which turns the AT&T 1520 into a 1520.3 .

Try 925 its very simple and classic

T-Mobile's network is faster I've seen versus AT&T however T-Mobile's network in the rural outlying areas is spotty. When I used to live in metro Orlando, I got excellent signal quality and service. I moved out of the metro area into the rural areas and I had no signal. AT&T covers rural areas better thus the reason why I switched. I can get 25-30 mbps down and 10-15 up on AT&T in the rural areas with 5 full bars of LTE.

I would not say that. The tweak enables the AWS 1700 band on WCDMA, but can not double the internal storage to 32GB or enable Qi wireless charging.

:winktongue:

Haha , after I posted I was wondering if someone would say that lol!
