My city is on this list:

4G LTE Network | 4G LTE Coverage | T-Mobile Blazing Fast 4G LTE

You will still get 3G at the most, My area has refarmed spots, but they are refarmed to give me 3G, but no 4g, in central Atlanta,Georgia I got all 5 3G bars. I'm just stating from my WP coming unlocked from Verizon. I also hate that you rarely can send texts over 3g(Only on Nokia Lumia 822 because of Verizon) always getting an error, and that the H+ is the highest you can go. I think H+ is close to 4G I am mainly on 3G or edge most of the time.

I am able to get LTE on my AT&T Lumia 920 with T-Mobile. Does the 1520 have the same bands as the 920?

If it already worked on T-mobile it should work getting 4g. Since AT&T already had the same bands it should be the same. Why don't you go check it out at the store? Don't exactly ask if it will work with T-mobile, but ask the bands and then look it up yourself. Or take the bands to T-Mobile and ask them.

The 1520 has LTE network bands: 2, 4, 5, 7, 17 T-MobileUSA uses LTE band 4
Nokia Lumia 1520 - Specifications - Nokia - USA

Getting it fully unlocked is another story.

kevm14 ,
Straight Talk and NET10 are same company I can confirm LTE is workiing

I did not know that either of them offered LTE. That's great news. Is it really unlimited? Capped? Throttled? Can you tether?

These MVNOs are such a pain in the ***: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...t-1-5gb-per-month-t-mobile-remains-unlimited/

This is exactly what happened to me with my 1020. I got it off eBay from the US. I phoned AT&T three times and they told me it couldn't be unlocked at all for at least 6 months.

This was at the same time as everyone was getting the 1020 unlocked on here by AT&T.

I got no where. Even when I complained they just told me it was IMPOSSIBLE to unlock it. The website had the RED writing and AT&T said no way would I ever get it unlocked.

At the same time others were getting it unlocked with one call.

So it appears Michelle that you have gotten the same difficult unhelpful people as I did when I called. I don't believe you can't get if unlocked because others had their phones unlocked. Eventually I found a website doing unlocks and they gave me a code.

BUT I AM still very very angry at the terrible service I received from two-faced unreliable AT&T reps.

One of many reason I left them this month after 13 years. I just wish the Rm-938 shows its face somewhere in the US. Even though its listed as a US variant, many blogs are reporting it as a Latin American variant. So damn confusing and irritating. I want it on Tmo and that's it. I'd rather save $40 a month and use a 925 than get screwed by shT&T. But like everyone I am eagerly waiting and if any one can ask eveleaks that would be great.

 

[MichelleSV]

The people I talked to at AT&T Very nice, ive talked to 3 people, and the tools they used to unlock phones has been removed.. since oct 1, 2013 only via website, the lady i talked did everything she could to help me.

Net10 MVNO is great its 2.5Gig per month of LTE speed, which more then enough for me. I normally use about 1.5-2Gig a month. i tell you coverage is way better then Tmobile and I in a Rearmed area with LTE with Tmobile. lots of EDGE spots still here with tmobile.

Pretty happy with Net10

 

[Janak Patel]

You might be right I don't know but on Oct 16 I was chatting with an online AT&T rep and told him that I don't know how to request unlock via the web (I was being lazy) for my wife's iPhone and he did it for me and in two minutes I got an email to go ahead and unlock. They might be giving you a run around I am not sure but I have experienced nice customer service with retention dept only when I have told them I am leaving their sorry butts.

 

[Janak Patel]

And I forgot to mention, tmo is much better in Orlando than at&T, also once again for the dead spots when I visit my folks in the woods, WiFi calling covers it.

 

[OliverK]

I don't think they are purposely being difficult actually.

I just think that some people at AT&T know how to do an unlock themselves and some don't.

And it seems that it is pure luck as to who you get.

I was told that an unlock was only possible online but that because the 1020 was new I had to wait 6 months.

I told them that others were getting them unlocked by making phone calls to CS and they told me that was not possible as
there was no way to do it... it was only possible online. This was a lie. Not intentional but not correct. Just look at the 1020 unlock threads
you will see me complaining that I was told it was impossible while everyone else is being unlocked.

So I don't believe it isn't unlockable over the phone. I am 100% certain that once it is officially available that plenty of people will get
free unlocks over the phone and report it here.

Is there a way to find out what RM versions are from china and Vietnam? I know we can go to the developers page and they do list it but I would like to know what it says on the box itself because the Chines model suggested RM-938 but I thought that was 937? Confusing. Can't wait to find out and hopefully someone from TMOBILE is listening and they can get the phone.

 

[krisguy]

Yeah. att.com/deviceunlock starts the process.

Care is no longer allowed to start the process on your behalf, probably because of call volumes, but I don't know for sure why.

T-Mo's listening doesn't matter when Nokia has given an idiotic, crippling, destructive, practically forever exclusive to AT&T.

 

[jlzimmerman]

Does anybody know if there is any global 1520 that would work on Verizon?

 

[rdubmu]

Hi, I'm an Italian boy and I write for Plaffo.com
I have a friend that he lives in US, so I want to by the Nokia Lumia 1520 in US (because is more cheap $ -> ?), but in US there aren't Nokia lumia 1520 unlocked.
So, if I buy the Nokia Lumia 1520 AT&T without contract and I do this tutorial (Guida per sbrandizzare o resuscitare i vostri Lumia brickati ? aggiornata | WindowsBlogItalia), for make my Nokia lumia 1520 no brand, can I use the phone in Italy?

if I buy the Nokia Lumia 1520 AT&T...can I use the phone in Italy?

First, the phone will need to be SIM unlocked. IF your friend is an AT&T customer, he can probably get them to unlock the phone; if he is not, AT&T will not unlock it. Once it's unlocked, you can use it in Italy for 2G (GSM and EDGE) and 3G (UMTS, HSPA), however, you will not get LTE services. The AT&T version of the 1520 supports LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 17; Italy uses 3, 7, and 20.
