Need help before I buy

[Mikegwald]

Hi guys I really want to upgrade from my lumia 635 to a Lumia 735 I live I the USA and use At&t what I want to know is will the Lumia 730 -735 work on att ? I am ok with just 3G I don't care about LTE . Will the international version phone work I can't seem to find a solid answer. Thanks so much for the help.

The L735 from B&H appears to work fine.
The International version will only get 2G, I tried that. It's missing a band.

Here you go
Nokia Lumia 735 Grey 3G 4G LTE Quad-Core 1.2GHz Unlocked Cell phone - Newegg.com

This one will get LTE on AT&T:

The one that sarathizen posted will not.

how do you know that Newegg's version is not the RM-1039? It doesn't state anywhere what version it is.

Why take a chance? The B&H is clearly labeled as the RM-1039 and has been proven to work fine on ATT and T-Mobile with LTE and HSPA+.

I'm all for getting it from B&H. However, what I'm not for is people making statements without a definitive basis for that statement. If there's proof that Newegg doesn't have the RM-1039, that would help a lot. Newegg is a perfectly good vendor. I try to not shop too much at Newegg because I live in California (sales tax) but if I didn't live in California, Newegg would be one of my favorite stops.

If people would take the easy step and LOOK...
Simply click the specifications tab on the Newegg link and you'll see:

Wireless RadioGSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz

UMTS 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz

LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600 MHzCompatible Carrier & ServiceAT&T 2G/3G,
T-Mobile 2G,
Rogers,
Fido3G
AT&T 3G Only


Note the the AT&T LTE bands are not list and also it CLEARLY states: AT&T 3G ONLY.


Sigh,

Well Fred may be right.
The reason i provided the Newegg Link is
1) didn't claim Dual Sim
2) Claims LTE (there are no LTE Version other than North America)
3) Newegg Return Policy
4) More of a Techie's Site rather than general gadgets site.

Mike, Please check with both before making any purchase and one more below

Many Thanks to sublime.

Also, no 735's have a dual sim, only the 730's.
