Xperia Z 6603 in states? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Oke.... Im from Europe, Croatia and i have local 6603 XZ.... no problems there.... but in a few weeks il be traveling to Florida for a while...
I know that not all operators there work on same mhz, so i need advice/tip on what to use in my euro xz so it can function there... If its even possible...
Thanx in advance guys...

I was in Florida and New York just some weeks ago with a C6603, and everything works fine.
You get 2G and 3G on AT&T, and 2G on T-Mobile.
Local prepaid sim cards are pretty expensive in the states, for me it was cheaper to just roam on AT&T with my belgian sim. Depends on roaming rates of your provider of course, look them up.

If you want to use a local sim, then make sure your Tilt is unlocked, but, to answer your question, yes, it will work.
Yes, confirmed can use, given its quad band capabilities. However, note that I'm using HTC tytn II.
I doubt it will work everywhere. As far as I am aware, Japan predominantly uses CDMA and GSM availability is more limited. If you're in Tokyo you should be fine, but when I was in Osaka 18 months ago I didn't manage to find a signal at all...
You won't find GSM anywhere in Japan but should be able to find W-CDMA/HSPDA almost anywhere.
I am right now in Japan carrying an unlocked phone. It works just as well as anywhere. There is no GSM anywhere in Japan but the Tilt also supports WCDMA which is what is used here. Usual Quad band (850/900/188/1900 Mhz) GSM Only phones wont work in Japan.
Oops that should have read (850/900/1800/1900)
doesnt Japan uses 2100mhz WCDMA band just like rest of asia and europe? The Kaiser's WCDMA band has 850/1900/2100
I just passed through Narita 2 days ago and during the layover I turned on my Tilt. It picked up a DoCoMo HSDPA signal (I was surprised!).
So, I can confirm that at least as far as getting a signal goes, there is potential for it to work. However, I have no ideas about the prospect of getting a prepaid local SIM that would actually allow you to make and receive calls.
Japan uses WCDMA 2100 Mghz. I go to Japan every 2-3 months and my Tilt works just fine, from Tokyo, Shizuoka, Fuji, Osaka, Kyoto, and on and on. Only comment, power draw on the Japanese networks is noticiably higher than US or EU.
This is why I went to Tilt, for use in Japan and South Korea. I have successfully used the phone in Japan, S. Korea, China, Finland, Germany, Holland, France, UK, Poland, Russia, so far so good.
ATT Tilt does work in Japan!
Like said before, it does work.
I used it several times in Japan, on Softbank 3G and DoCoMo.
Note that I had my Tilt flashed with the original HTC Tytn II ROM.
Also, if you want cheap calls in Japan, get a United Mobile +423 SIM.
You cannot get a local SIM if you are not a resident in Japan.
It's free incoming calls and $0.45 for outgoing to most destinations.
Works great. See http://www.united-mobile.com
The ICQ Sim from the same company (http://www.icqsim.com/) should work too, but I haven't tested it.

X1a, 3G in taiwan?

I understand X1a is the north american version which has 850/1800/2100 bands and X1i has 900/1800/2100. 3G will work well with X1a in Canada, but X1i doesn't work too well.
When in Taiwan, I had the chance to test my X1i and it received 3g signals.
I was wondering whether an X1a would be able to get 3g signals as well?
I found a site that lists the frequencies for different countries:
www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
Taiwan uses 900/1800 but it lists 3G as 2100, so I'm a bit confused as to whether an X1i (which has 2100) would work.
Here in my country, both the i and the a have working 3G. It really depends on what the Telcos are using.
Thanks so much for replying..
I'm using Taiwan mobile
A website tells me it uses
900/1800, but 3G is 2100
http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_tw.shtml
Since the X1a has 2100, it is capable of using 3G?
I'm using Xperia X1a and taiwan mobile operator.. and i'm able to use video call,3G and HSDPA connection without any problem..
Thank You so much for this reply!
I'm in Toronto and have an x1i. I'm under Fido, and about 2 or 3 months ago i started up pick up a 3G+ signal. Is anyone else getting this? I don't have a data plan so i haven't check if it actually works.
Could it possibly be that I'm roaming??? I'm roaming icon is always on, but that may be a glitch of a custom rom that I'm using.
Thanks
I'm in vancouver right now and my X1i uses 3G connection. I thought it was because of the olympics that they set that up.

If you have the HSPA+ model, it should work just fine. Seeing as it is not working, you most likely have a different model (the LTE one) which will not work on T-Mobile's network. T-Mobile also has not turned on its LTE network for public use yet.

[Q] 3G phones on a 2 yr contract in UK

Ive just picked up an Samsung Ativ S which is 3.5G (H+) here in the UK (4G Ativ S didnt come to UK only US) and my contract runs for another 22 months, but with all the major carriers talking about 4G LTE and that 3G will be switched off soon.
is that correct or are these sales people trying to scare monger people into spending more money on a 4GLTE contract, which in the UK.. 4G phones are about £50-£100 more than their 3G H+ versions.
Will we see H+ in the UK for a few years yet.
Thanks
First of all, the USA didn't get any ATIV S models at all. I had to import my SGH-T899M from Canada. It sounds like you got the other model.
Second, wether any given mobile operator is turning off a certain radio mode or not is - surprise, shock, mind-blowing revelation - up to that operator! If you want to know what networks will still support HSPA+ in the coming months, why don't you ask *them*? We don't even know what operator you're on now!
Third, the odds of them turning off HSPA/HSPA+ are very slim. There are still an awful lot of phones out there that don't support LTE. I'd more likely believe them turning off 2G/EDGE and re-farming that to LTE.
