[Windows Central Question]

Will the Lumia 535 DS work on AT&T in the USA?
Only 3G or is HSPA+ supported?

Please elaborate?

[RumoredNow]

Not even 3G let alone H+... EDGE speeds only.

On the 3G radio (used for 3G and 3.5G or H+) it has the 900 and 2100 MHz frequencies and AT&T needs 850/1900.

Expansys retailer quotes these Lumia 535 DS Specs:
Network: SIM 1 - 3G: 900/2100 MHz / GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz / SIM 2 - GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Does this change your answer?

[RumoredNow]

GSM is the 2G radio... It will only yield EDGE speeds.

The 3G radio is lacking what US carriers need...

[RumoredNow]

Try looking at Blu Win Jr in the w410u variant. It will get 3G and H+ on either AT&T or T-Mobile towers.

Hi,

Okay, Thanks!

I've seen the Blu phones and Yezz Billy 4.7. I like the Lumia 535 better but unfortunately not even 3G here!!....

[RumoredNow]

Yeah... The 535 looks nice for the price... It is a shame it doesn't play well in the States. Watch out for the Yezz, Same radio issue. I just researched 'em for someone else last night.

If you want Lumia, either a 635 or maybe a nice used 925... The 925 is a pretty solid all around phone and way more than a budget phone hardware wise. It's just aging, but still very capable. I had a 925 until this past August. LOVED it.

I already have a Lumia 1520 and 535 for my business. I want a dual sim windows phone for when I travel to Asia or Europe.

I meant 635. Thanks for your input. I may elect to get the 535 anyway...
