Does anyone know an european mobile carrier who offers free roaming just like we were living in usa?
a couple of years ago i experienced a too high price to get maps and voice over gprs around europe
good news
It looks like h3g is offering free 3g data roaming in italy and uk
I've seen the xperia z will be on 3, O2, car phone warehouse, phones4u and Vodafone but so far no word from EE? Does anyone know when or if ever EE will be getting it? It is Sony's flagship for this year and is 4G enabled so it's odd they haven't announced it yet, I did ask an EE worker in one of their high street stores and he was wording things carefully as it was evident he was specifically told what to not say etc. he ended up saying that officially they have no idea but it is extremely likely to happen. Anyone got further info for this yet?
They should have them around the release date in march, phones4u will start selling from the 1st of march so there's no reason why we cant get it on our network
It's being listed as 4G compatible on CPW so EE must be getting it.

Found a blog post on sony's site stating that it is intentionally compatible with EE spectrum's so it is seeming really likely. Hopefully they dont wait too long, i really so want this in february...

Yes it will be coming to the UK with 4G enabled, frankly enough this doesn't bother me because EE's UK coverage is pretty weak and their deals are rather extortunate if you ask me, whats more interesting for me however is the 4G frequencies that the xperia Z supports. It supports the following frequencies:
LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - C6603
Vodafone and 02 Plan to use the 800Mhz - 2600 Mhz - (2.6Ghz) frequencies in the next 6 months for 4G, so this is great for those who will buy this and upgrade to 4G in the coming future, when it comes out in summer.
EE and 3 and orange and Tmobile currently use the 1800Mhz - 1.8Ghz frequencies, which the xperia Z also supports!
In total the 4G frequencies for the UK will be 800MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz and 2.6GHz bands which means its future proof for 4G and 3G which is a Deal winner for me ! - Source

So threes xperia Z's not the 4G model?
the phone i think can connect to both frequencies so should be 4g compatible when three release it and just saw today they said they will be bring 4g network at end of the year and giving everyone unlimited data on it. btw just preordered xperia z

That's a brilliant tarrif, WOW!
Hi all,
Has anyone got any clarification from 3 if the Z will support DC-HSDPA? Just as I haven't seen anywhere that states it supports DC-HSDPA only 4G (LTE). I'm only asking as I am in dispute with 3 atm as they sold me the Note 2 (7100) on the basis of it being 4G enabled, I spoke to many of their advisors and managers and they all confirmed it was, I knew that it would as the 7105 supports 4G, but I played dumb just so I can get it exchanged in the future when they release 4G......it's just I have since fell in love with this beauty
Cheers

I was looking forward to a 4G experience until I too realised the questionable prices for what you get for being on EE (especially data-wise). However, with my contract up, I had my pick of the Sim-only plans, of which I was looking to spend around £30 - £40 per month. Saw an EE 12-month contract with unlimited texts and minutes along with 5GB of data which I thought was great. Then I discovered that the 4G in my area wouldn't be great, and at the same time saw a 12-month T-Mobile Full Monty pack providing unlimited everything for £21 per month... :good:
I jumped on that deal, and pre-ordered my Xperia Z from Clove...
The thing is O2 data Is a Bolt On, it's not part of my Contract, so when they Roll out 4G do we just swap one bolt on for a 4G one?

Hi I know some body posted a white paper some where before that shows the difference between different variations of the Z. Can someone show me what are the difference as the search's been down for past 2 hours for me.
I am also planning to pre-order it from Clove, do we know what variation they'll be offer already? Anyone from the US planning to import it and use it with AT&T?
Much appreciated.

they have the c6603, the 3g won't properly. It has the 850 frequency but it is missing the 1900 frequency radio. i recommend that you get c6602 or wait for the c6606, the c6602 is the hspa+ model and the c6606 will be lte enabled that supports at&t lte and 3g.
Gotcha, thank you!

if I want the free speakers from the clove pre-order, can I still use the c6603 on ATT with HSPA+? I don't really need LTE.
will LTE-enabled devices like the c6603 have less battery even if i'm not using the LTE?

it'll work in some places
use this map to find out whether or not it will work where you live.
(i don't know how accurate the information on the map is) (http://www.cellularmaps.com/att_850_1900.shtml)
Do you think, I will be able to use the US LTE version of the Z in Germany? If not, which US version will work in Germany?
I'm planning to buy it in the US since I have to travel a lot and will be 'round the globe for the next few years. Is the Dockingstation usable with 110V and 230V or do I have to use a power transformator?
Thanks so far.

There is no power supply in the dock - you will have to connect an external.
Hi!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
So I guess the OEM power supply will be Europe-compatible?

I am thinking on importing one from Clove to the US. I live in North Carolina and ATT recently acquired Alltlel and will have more 850Mhz coverage on the ast coast

If Sony doesnt have any news on C6606 model tomorrow during MWC im going to get C6603 model deal from clove since its the best and cheapest offer available. Expansys USA will carry C6602 model but its a bit overpriced around $770 and it doesn't come with any freebies

It'll be a while before the C6602 and C6606 hit the stores, they're not certified yet (PTCRB), and that usually happens at least a few weeks before the release.
How about for the T mobile U.S?

If you live in the Gulf region, ex. Dubai, C6602 will be launched on Feb 28, they are taking pre-orders at Sony retails such as Jumbo Electronics.
Idk if I'm using the term right, but I'm with t mobile and I know that they will offer the htc one. But that's rumored to be towards the end of march. But appearntly Europe will be getting it the first of march. So my question is: will all carriers be selling the same EXACT phone? Meaning can I get a euro version when it comes out and use it on t mobile, and still get 2g,3G,and 4g (hspa+,LTE) ? I'm very anxious to get a new phone. I'm down to the htc one and the xperia z.
Yeah it's a world phone, it won't be in the market before 15th march. As clove.co.uk states that. IMO Better to get from your carrier if you don't want to face any issues with network. But if you want fast updates, it's good to purchase from uk.

Yes for 2g and 3g, not really for LTE in selected countries... And then I am certain that the LTE band will be tied down to that network provider. I will be amazed if this is not the case because HTC always does this, with exception of the HTC J-Butterfly (only in Japan), the reason behind this is that Japan law requires the phones to have world network support. The Sony XZ defninately covers world support on 2g,3g & 4g
We are in the same boat!

We are in the same boat. I am with Tmobile and have Galaxy S3, but as soon as I saw the leaked image of HTC One, I was instantly fell in love with it and I am surely glad they kept the design. It is the kind of design and material I wanted for a long time. Anyway, cut to the point, I pre-ordered from Clove.co.uk and expansys-usa.com. Whichever can ship it first will have my money. The reason I pre-order instead of waiting is it looks like it will be cheaper this way since I am buying off-contract. Tmobile's phone usually have much higher price than other carriers like ATT. Of course you can buy att one and unlock it, but it is illegal in USA now so that complicates things. Only thing I am worrying about is the compatibility with Tmobile's upcoming LTE network. Since I am living in Houston, TX, it is only logical to think Tmobile's next LTE market will be somewhere in TX if not Houston. But, I saw their LTE band is not the one supported by HTC One. (I saw this in one of forum here. Don't have the link) Tmobile maybe make LTE version of this phone like galaxy note 2, but then that will now complicates the battery life. So I am not sure if I want to have LTE version of HTC One when the battery is not user replaceable. Besides I am more than content with current Tmobile's data speed as HSPA+ in houston area. So my point is if you are sure you will get this phone, pre-order seems the fastest one so far. I picked silver one BTW.
It might sound lazy but I'm actually really confused about the bands for the different networks in my country. I want to get an HTC One but I'm not sure if I will have 3g on my company "VTR", this company is from Chile in South America and I would be really thankful if anyone can give me a hand on this:
The website of the company is: http://www.vtr.com
Please, give me a hand on this as I'm really confused and I have been searching a lot to get more information. This is what I've found:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
VTR is at the number IV AWS 1700
Also I found this:
http://www.telecompaper.com/news/vtr-nextel-win-3g-licences-in-chile--690358
VTR, Nextel win 3G licences in Chile
Chile's telecommunications regulator Subtel has granted mobile operators VTR and Nextel spectrum for provision of 3G services. The tender covered three blocks of 30 MHz in the 1700/2100 MHz frequency band. Nextel won two out of three blocks of spectrum up in the 1700/2100MHz frequency bands, while VTR won the remaining block. Nextel's total offer for spectrum blocks B and C reached USD 14.7 million, while VTR won block A with an offer of USD 3.02 million. The new licences aim to boost competition on the Chilean mobile telephony market, currently divided among Entel PCS, Movistar and Claro. The Chilean telecoms market currently reaches 15 million customers. According to Rene Cortazar, minister of transport and communications, the two licence winners have a maximum of one year – that is by the second half of 2010 – to complete their 3G networks deployment across the country.
VTR 3g frecuencies: 1700/2100
I currently have an HTC Desire HD, however, I'm unable to use 3g with my device. Please help me confirm that the ONE will work on this network, else, I will have to change my network
A little bit more information can be found here:
http://www.apecdoc.org/site/chile/2009/06/11/vtr-sets-up-vtr-movil-to-bid-for-3g-licence-chile/
Thank you very much for all your help
The phone doesn't have support for the 1700 band, but will work on the 2100 band offered by your provider. The biggest problem you face is what is the difference between bands for VTS, typically network providers will offer a faster network and or more coverage on one of their bands. If in Chile this is the 2100 band you are away laughing.
Just had a look at the specs of your HTC Desire HD and the news is bad.The new HTC one will the same as your previous phone on that network.
I don't understand what you are saying about your phone not on 3G, the 2100Mhz network is 3G, however it would seem that your provider is offering it's premium higher speed services on 1700Mhz.
I suggest you go to www.gsmarena.com then search for brands of phones that have 1700Mhz radios. So got to say HTC, and under bands select 1700 then filter, you will find only 13.
After checking this, scrub the above and only use it as a super rough guide. Because it states the Sony XZ as 1700Mhz, but no Sony website claims this that I can see.

Thanks a lot, I hope the phone gets 3g, however, I know that Entel (another company in my country) will offer the HTC One on the third or fourth trimester of this year and it might allow LTE connection. If that's the situation, I might consider changing my mobile provider
I really appreciate your answer.
Thank you
its not worth buying the international version anymore if the US carrier versions are the same as the international one..
LTE is moving forward and HSPA+ will stop development in a few years once T-Mobile switch to LTE
im sure the T-Mobile version will be the same as the rest with LTE ready
yes i think only small 4g lte variations

Not true, there is three LTE variants in the US depending on the band eg provider The best US is AT&T which covers all of US. It all comes down to what bands your country decides to go with on LTE.
So it is a toss up between AT&T or UK model depending on your LTE band requirements.
HSPA/WCDMA:
Europe/Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
LTE:
EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz
US (Sprint): 1900 MHz
Asia: 1800/2600 Mhz

No worries, it's my pleasure.
As I said before your current HTC phone should be 3G on your network provider because 2100mhz is 3G.
ANd most unfortunate for you in South America is that they use such a mix of LTE bands covering most of the LTE spectrum, in this case you are better off with the Sony Xperia Z, which covers almost all of the used LTE bands.
I have used Claro in South America which has great coverage, but bad customer service, but I guess you always get that with the big players.
Hi,
I'm on a Canadian provider that has a hard time with getting good phones. I'm on Wind mobile and actually those who are on Mobilicity are in the same boat. When HTC One X came out it wasn't available for Wind or Mobilicity, when HTC One X+ came out it wasn't available either. Only the cheaper versions of One S would work on it, other ones didn't support the bands. I can see that for Canada none of these providers are listed to carry HTC One. Does it support the bands that Wind and Mobilicity operate at? Will it work on it? They operate in AWS

There is no CDMA version, and cdma devices do not use sim cards.

Hello
Do you know if the European version of the HTC One will be compatible with the American 3G network (ie : AT&T)...
Because last summer I was in USA and with my old HTC (not compatible with AT&T 3G), I was only able to use 2G networks for internet and it was very very bad...
So I'm asking !

I'm moving to Florida from Canada, and I'm having some trouble finding a good LTE plan there. I've checked out Straight Talk, AIO Wireless and Net10, but none of them seem to offer LTE? Is there a reseller, or a plan available through AT&T that offers LTE and possible calls to Canada? I'm using the Telus version of the HTC One.

Speaking of LTE plans. Is there a prepaid LTE SIM you can suggest that will work on my International version HTC One? I'll be having my vacation in California and would like to have working LTE while I'm there. Grateful on your advise.

As far as I can tell the only carrier that has decent rates on prepaid LTE is T-Mobile right now ($30/month with 200 voice minutes, unlimited texting, 5GB data). That said, they have a very small LTE footprint. AT&T's prepaid GoPhone service now has LTE support but it's a lot more expensive.
Either tmobile unlimited lte for 70$ a month or att which will cost more but you will get better coverage outside of cities. Plus they have plans to call to canda but if you get tmobile you can WiFi call to canada for free I believe with certain tmobile plans. If you won't be traveling on highways or to rural areas get tmobile for sure but if coverage is important for you and you would like speeds greater than edge outside of any major city get att but your looking easily over 100$ a month
Tmobile unlimited everything
And they don't slow your speeds down anymore
You can get unlimited minutes with att if you pay for it but you will not get unlimited data 30$ for 3 gb 10$ a gb after that never gets slowed down either but you pay for overages.
Really it all comes down to were you will be and travel and how important coverage is to you
I have att bit I travel out if cities all the time and go to metros and rural areas so I have to have att I can't be on edge every time I leave the city. You will still be able to make calls with tmobile but forget about getting on internet if your not in a populated area
It all comes down to preference but those are you two best options
Sprint is worse than tmobile for coverage and they don't have SIM cards only t mobile and att
My personal opinion to you though is if money isn't a issue get att you will get way better coverage and way better lte
I'm talking 60mbps + dl 20 + ul
Depending on area of course but I've never seen tmobile with these speeds and I live in Oklahoma city Oklahoma so if I get that here with att image what att would be in Florida
