Virgin Mobile is GSM in Canada and Virgin Mobile Canada is what the article is referring to.
I've been thinking further about this....it sounds to me like this will be a Virgin Europe thing....not US. In Europe, Virgin is also an MVNO. They use EE's network, who is a GSM carrier.

Virgin mobile Canada also uses LTE via Bells network. Just have to activate it on your nexus 4.

Rumor has it AT&T's not going to pick it up, so we'll have to see if Sony sells it like they did the ZL on their site. If it goes to (only) Tmobile that could really screw it up for AT&T users like it did the XZ I imagine. Since Tmobile's coverage is getting better and their HSPA+ speeds supposedly blow away AT&T I might be switching.......

U need the c6906 for Att lte. Is the only one of the 3 that supports the 700 MHz band for Att LTE
I've been looking few online stores and so far none of them are advertising it. With the exception of the other 2 the c6903 and the other one. I emailed Handtec let's see what they reply. I asked negrielectronics and they Dont have that model to present order. Let's keep searching.

I think sonystyle is only gonna sell the HSPA+ version, since it's rumored that Tmo is gonna have an exclusive on the LTE version.
Just like the Xperia Z, smh
It could be time for at&t to pick up Z1 because tmo already has Z like GS4 Active is at&t exclusively.

Seems most likely this time, both ZU and Z1's NA variant will be available in Oct.
As I know, C6906 could be confimed with Bell Mobility(LTE) and Rogers(LTE) in CANADA.
No information about the device for US currently
They said its and ocataband LTE phone and that it will work with all current LTE carriers..? At least that is what Clove says. Soo, were not fully confirmed it will have AT&T LTE..?

I wish that was the case, but the one on Clove lists the bands as:
4G Yes
Frequencies Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 20
It is octaband, but we need another band for AT&T. Oh the irony!
Unfortunately for AT&T, we need Band 17.

Hi guys ive purchased this beautiful device which is supposed to be the unlocked version but for some reason im not able to use it as yet. I live in the Bahamas and the network bands we use are GSM 2G and 3G 850 and 1900 according to the specs of the butterfly s this is supposed to work. When I insert my sim I don't get any signal and it says no service and no sim ive even purchased an unlock code but never used it cause I was never prompted by the device to enter an unlock code. The sim works fine in another device, what do you think my problem is and what can I do to have this issue solved.

As a tip, it's just the GSM frequencies that are on 850 MHz and 1900 MHz. HSPA+ is on only 850 MHz.
Hit up daor though, he might be able to get that working for you.
I have a T-Mobile Galacy S5 Unlocked that I am using with my carrier AT&T. Is it somehow possible to remove entire t-mobile software and convert it to a 100% AT&T Phone???? If yes, how???
Post this question TMo S5 forums. You could find better help there.
The best you could do is install some ROM like alliance ROM, use Tibu or some root explorer to take off all TMo specific apps. You could use their on bundled settings, or use Xposed framework to theme it on lines of AT&T.

The phone will recognize a different carrier sim has been installed and will not pick up a network connection until you pay a 3rd party for a code to SIM unlock it or have it on T-Mobile for 45 days (I Think that is the time period) and they will unlock it for free.
When I checked, for a prepaid SIM, you should've recharged it with atleast $100 in total for them to unlock.
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
All you do is put a different micro sim in and boot up the phone. Upon booting it asks for a network unlock code. Whoever the phone is through, call them and get the unlock code for free. I was in the military before and have gotten sim unlock codes for free when I tell them I'm going overseas and want to take the phone with me. You don't have to pay any third party if you don't want to. Just call T-Mobile or AT&T.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That works with proper account history. Like, on AT&T, I can get mine unlocked with no issues just like that whenever I want. But I'm first time TMo user, that too prepaid, there is a cumulative recharge of $100 requirement. If I was postpaid, there would be a 45 day wait. I felt it cheaper to pay 25 for unlock than recharge for 100.

You need it unlocked if you are running any SIM aside from a TMO one, If stright talk uses the same bands as ATT then you should just be able to place the Straight Talk APN and get your signal working
