Using 620 on AT&T's network

[aer127]

Anyone using the 620 on AT&T in the U.S? Thinking of purchasing an unlocked 620 but wanted to make sure there were not any issues first. Thanks!

It should work OK. It lists 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz for data, which covers AT&T, but I am not sure how many different models were made.

Also keep in mind that if it's an unlocked/unbranded phone from a different country, it will be set to that country code and language, so you'll need to change it to English.

Thanks! Any idea if it will have 4G or 3G speeds?

Why don't you just buy it from Aio Wireless? That's ATT's prepaid service. They have it for $99.

AFAIK, if you buy through Aio, they have to be a provider in your area, which they are not for me. I think Aio is only available in select markets

Aio is nationwide now. Just buy through their website.

Aio is nationwide. You can purchase it online! They have great pricing and where I don't get reception with Tmobile (at least for data - i get talk and text) where my boyfriend lives, I got him an Aio phone and he gets AWESOME coverage.

3G and 3G+ but no LTE

There were issues with an unlocked device I got from Telus via Amazon. But, I eventually got them worked out. All the steps, including MMS APN settings (if you need them) are on my blog
I wanted this device to work on my existing account that the rest of my family is on. Thats why I didn't go the Aio wireless route. After going through the steps described in the blog though, I've been using the phone for a couple of weeks and it works great on 4G network. No issues. Very convenient form factor.
