Hey, I am going to clear something up here.
Francisco was totally misquoted. The contradiction was too weird so I thought I'd check with him directly in care there was an issue outside of the bands. Turns out Francisco CONFIRMS that the unlocked version WILL work as long as the phone's in an LTE area. With his permission I am pasting the conversation I had with him here. If any are in doubt - please contact Francisco or Negri DIRECTLY and don't pay heed to these rumors.. Cheers,
Francisco:
Hello, my name is Francisco.
How may I help you?
me: Hi Francisco,
There has been some arguing on various boards about the unlocked Lumia 1020 (any color)
Some are quoting you as saying that it absolutely will not work on T-Mobile's network even though it is unlocked.
However, TMbile boards are confirming that the ATT version bands are completely compatible with T-Mobile as long as unit is indeed unlocked and the user is in a refarmed area that has LTE
If the phone won't work with T-Mobile, is there any specific reason, and if that's the case, where would buyers use an unlocked ATT version?
Francisco: Yes that is correct as long as you are in the new coverage area this will support LTE
Can you please provide me with the link of the blog?
me: I THOUGHT so!! This sounded too weird. SUre.. stand by..

Francisco: Thank you
me: I am registered so can make a response on the board quoting you here - that is if it's ok with you.
Francisco: Yes this is fine.
