2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - D5303
4G Network LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - D5303
Just wondering for all you lucky T2 Ultra owners in US or Canada, do you have LTE for AT&T or Rogers/Bell/Telus??
I really want to get this phone but I want to make sure the LTE reception before I go ahead.
Thanks in advance!!
Cheers!

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
The single sim model D5303 is the one I want.
as Rogers' LTE bands are 700, 1700, 2600, and the D5303 LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600, only one of the bands is matching, would it matter?

no it wont matter
LTE will work with single sim phone but try getting D5306 instead of D5303
I just ordered a T2 Ultra D5303 myself for a family member.
As far as LTE support in Rogers/Fido, as long it should work mostly you are connected to a tower which has 2600. If there are towers which only have 700/1700 are available then the phone will drop the lower speed's available supported frequency.
I have a sony xperia t2 ultra d5316 lollipop 5.0.1 and I get Lte on at&t. All you have to do is get a imei number from a at&t lte compatible phone and update it to your at&t account.
I called at&t tech support and gave them a imei number for a samsung galaxy s5 sm-g900a which is a at&t lte phone.
They updated my imei number and I just had to power off my xperia take out the Sim card, put in back in and power it back up.
Hope this helps you in anyway.
Cheers

I bought the unlocked version (R800i) and im using it on a latinamerican network (MOVISTAR COLOMBIA) which is a GSM carrier but i can not get 3G speeds. Does it have to do with the supported bands? How can i change my supported bands?
BTW: This carrier works with GSM 850/1900 bands and according ro GSM arena it supports the following bands:
-2G Network: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
-3G Network: HSDPA 900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 800
Have you set up your apn settings

I think what he's trying to say is you bought the wrong model.. Sorry dude.
hi guys having the same issue.
i have Xperia Play (R800i) running on Telekom (Slovakia). I asked folks over there on what frequency is their 3G running, they told me that 1800.
Does it mean that i will have just 2G (Edge) available if in my paper is UMTS HSPA Band 1 8 GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900?
Telekom offered this mobile in the end of 2011 so I am curious whether they would offer mobile with no 3G capability.
Thanks
R800i: GSM (2G) 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, HSDPA (3G) 900 / 2100
R800at: GSM (2G) 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, HSDPA (3G) 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 800
The R800i will not work with 850 and 1900 bands. You can't change the support band, you'll have to buy a different phone. It is hardware limitation btw, if you flash R800at firmware and baseband to your R800i, it will not make it work.

thanks for your reply, if my provider is telling that its 3G is running at 1800 Mhz, it should run right? currently i am running just 2G :/ and even when carrier selection i have just 2g shown. Can it be SIM related? i have changed mine a week ago.
Edit: just checked in TMobile that lady ran my SIM on her phone and H appeared. it has to be phone related somehow.
how can i find out whether my 800i wasnt transfered from some at, a version?
I talked do Data centre and R800i was in one of the action of Telekom , when i select only WCDMA, i lose any access to the service, carrier told me that it has to do something with the phone.
I guess that there were 3G and 4G versions of Play, not the version without 3G
They already told you: You bought the wrong model.

Perhaps all problems will be solved at once if you bought the correct model?!

The 1800 is listed under both R800i & R800at as 2G frequency. I hate to say it but as its been stated already in this thread you bough the wrong model.

yep, this is what i wanted to confirm
is there any verion of Xperia Play running 3G on 1800 Mhz?
I just bought a Xperia Arc S (LT18a) Unlocked on Amazon.com, and I was wondering if there's anyway to get 3G on my phone, according to GSMArena this are my phone capabilities:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100 - LT18i
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 800 - LT18a
Orange Dominicana is 900/1900Mhz on 3G
EDGE on Orange is so slow.. What if I flashboot my LT18a to LT18i? Will it work?
Thanks
on your carrier, you need to fill the correct APN for the simcard.

Cross flashing between American and International models may cause some problems.. It is better if you don't do any such thing..

Newbie question.
Just ordered the c6506 ZL unlocked. I'm using still my HSPA+ xperia play on ATT. will HSPA work on my new phone? Or do I need to upgrade to LTE4g?
thanks
According to gsmarena:
ZL C6506 HSDPA bands are 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
ZL C6506 LTE bands are 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
Since AT&T uses bands 850 / 1900 for UMTS/HSPA+, it sounds like you'll be fine.
If you want to take advantage of LTE, you may have to buy a new LTE-capable SIM card from AT&T (in case your current SIM is old or something)
And when you get the phone, make sure there is an appropriate APN entry for your carrier in the settings.
Thanks, i ended upgrading to lte.
I got the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra D5303 from amazon and I am in the US using tmobile. I only get edge or 2g? Is there anyway around this? Thanks for any help

Sorry, but no. The radio in the D5303 does not support the bands used by T-Mobile for 3G. You need the D5306 to get full 3G and 4G coverage in the USA for both carriers. However, you should be able to get 3G from AT&T (or an AT&T-based MVNO) on the D5303.
- Bands used by the carriers -
3G on AT&T: 850 up/down, 1900 up/down
3G on T-Mo: 1700 up, 2100 down
4G on AT&T: Bands 2, 4, 5, 17,
4G on T-Mo: Band 4
- Bands supported by the Sony T2 Ultra -
D5303: 3G - 850, 900, 2100; 4G - Bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20
D5306: 3G - 850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100; 4G - Bands 2, 4, 7, 17
For AT&T, as long as your phone has one of the bands, you should be good, as each band is upload/download. For T-Mobile, however, your phone needs both bands (one for upload and one for download).
Thanks so much for your help. would this work on tmobile?
2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, 3G: HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 1700, 4G: HSPA+ HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 1700
Hi...I'm a complete novice to all this, so this may be a silly question.
Can I simply buy a spare radio (either from a D5306 or another compatible device) and swap them out?
Thanks!
Possibly. TMobile is 'refarming' their network to support 3G/4G (HSPA+) over 1900. IF you live in an area that has not been 'refarmed' then you will need radios for AWS which are 1700/2100.

I'm looking to buy a HTC One M8 T-Mobile version, and unlocking it.
I read on gsmarena.com that the frequencies that work on that phone are these.
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - T-Mobile
LTE band 4(1700/2100), 17(700) - T-Mobile
Now the frequencies in my country are
HSDPA 850 / 900/ 2100
LTE band 4 1800
If I unlock the phone will it be open from my LTE frequency in my country, and the 900Mhz 3g in my country,
or are the phones made for T-Mobile only work with those frequencies no matter if you unlock it or not.
Thanks in advance for all answers!

Unlocking it will not add or remove any of the phones frequency or protocol items.
Unlocking merely allows the device to use another sim card from a carrier that it was not branded for.
So if its a TMO branded unit and you unlock it you get all the features that TMO asked HTC to make the unit for them for, but you can use it with your carrier.
