Hi. Am a total noob. I want to buy MI A2 for use in Chicago on T-mobile but when I check on Willmyphonework.com
I get "Device does not support 4G LTE bands". Does that mean I wont get LTE? Can somebody that knows verify the compatibility?
From reading some of the posts, it seems there is a whole bunch of issues with this phone? Should I get it anyway?
thanks
Go into some phone store in Chicago and check it yourself, put your sim card in, and see what happens.
Because I don't think that anyone here can for sure confirm you, except maybe someone from USA, like @AsItLies

There is no Xiaomi authorized distributors in the U.S. as far as I can tell.

Hi,
I bought a second-hand LG P970h from someone.
I am a customer of carrier "X" (not real name).
I have inserted my sim card to the phone, but the phone did not recognize it. So I can't use it for calls, messages and etc.
I checked in the web and I understood that my carrier blocked the phone for use with its sim cards because the device was reported as stolen.
I tried to convince the carrier to open the device but I did not succeed.
I tried to insert to the phone a sim card from other carrier, and it's worked fine.
So... what can I do now ?
I want to stay in my carrier and to use the phone.
Is there any way to do that ?
I have read a little about UNLOCK Code... is that the solution ?
Thanks a lot.
Do not buy stolen phones! Your phone could be the next one.
I am sorry, but is not ethical.

The phone may very well have been lost or left somewhere by the original owner, or it may have outright been stolen. Either way, the original owner reported it as lost/stolen.
You have a lost/stolen phone in your possession. If your current carrier "called you out" on the issue, good for them! I'm glad someone actually tracks this stuff. Ideally the phone should be returned to the original owner, because he/she took a soaking on the cost of a replacement phone.
If you can find a carrier that doesn't care, then you'd better get a plan with them for that phone.
I'd also find a more ethical "someone" to buy used items from.
There's no bad on you at this point. You're not the first guy to get ripped off. But continuing onward with something that you know is probably stolen just isn't right.
It can be unlocked with technician
You would check phone thoroughly before buying..

operators in Brazil
use the phone lock code (sim card band)
That does not mean that it is stolen ...
to unlock the use of all bands sim card, needed a software that generates a code w / unlock permanent
some carriers do not release the software or request "note fiscal" ...
if enter the wrong code will often lock the phone permanently
sorry bad english
I am Brazilian
I'm learning ...
* (If you believe the phone was stolen, return and take your way back money!)
noticed US Celluar finally started selling all versions of Nexus 6 in both colors, anyone know if these are locked to US Celluar or can we work around this, especially since they offer prepaid where you can just buy phone outright(for a little bit more $ though)
I am thinking of giving it a try...
Don't know when I may get my 64gb from T-mobile... already have a 32gb.... I guess if it doesn't I can just return within 15-days... thinking of doing it....:good:

Don't know how to confirm...
in the comments of the article below.... this is the only shred of evidence that it may not be... however they checked with a US Cellular CSR... so no telling if they were just reading a stock answer or what... someone physically doing the SIM swap would have to confirm as I am not confident... The other factor to is that it may work going to say t-mobile or att and not sprint or verizon or even vice versa... really need one in hand to test...

So just to re-clarify the Nexus 6 purchased outright from US Cellular is unlocked, free of any carrier branding (on the actual phone and in regards to software)? It is the same as a Google Play ordered phone, correct?
Confirmed 2 Sources

Yes this is the second source that has confirmed this... (found confirmation on Nexus 6 reddit sight as well by a user) however there are things to consider:
1. You have to live in a US Cellular area to buy over the phone or online outright. Billing address & shipping address must be in US Cellular Coverage Area
2. If you address is not in a coverage area, then you must go to the closest US Cellular Store to buy if they are carrying it in that store... for me its 2 hours away so I doubt I will do it at this point... still considering it over the weekend. This also means that they must let you buy it outright as I heard you can hit a roadblock if they just don't want to sell it to you.
Good Luck Anyone Trying... I am going to try to confirm the stock at the nearest store to me... Doubt they have the magic white elephant (64GB in White):silly:
Called my Closest Us Cellular Store.... Tell me you haven't heard this before... None in-store, insufficient quantities at launch, stores won't have them for awhile.....:crying:
I've got mine and I'm on US Cellular. Got it on the 10th. I was the first person to ask because they didn't even know if yet had it yet. Just be persistent about asking if they have it. They had to go look in the back to see if they had it. I'm not sure about it being carrier locked because I don't have a reason for switching...
Nexus 6
Can anyone with a US Cellular Nexus 6 confirm that the phone is SIM unlocked? If so, is this true even if the phone was purchased with a 2 yr contract subsidy? Thanks for your help!
hi guys
I am going to get a second hand Nexus 6 in good condition. However, the device is Verizon and I am in the UAE. Mostly it is a second - third hand device. I need to know what are the measures I can take to not get scammed.
What all do I check before purchasing?
Mostly, just wanted to know if this isn't a stolen device. That's all.
Anyone?
Thanks!

I'd suggest you get the IMEI and check it here....http://www.imeipro.info/ Also wouldn't hurt to check with your carrier to make sure they don't have anything blacklisted. Most carriers have a webpage you can just paste the IMEI into.

I would check to see what LTE bands you need to use in the UAB. The Verizon model is a xt1103 and the international version is xt1100.
Thanks guys ..thanks for the imei pro ...worked like a charm.. It says it's clean ..thanks again
Pdaplaza.net has preorder for smn950f. There arent any reviews about them, guess their legit?!? Im kinda reluctant to give out my credit card. wonder what happens when somebody tries to scam your credit card? anyways the total is $1130 cad which comes out to $930 US.

The number seems legit , SM-N950F is the international version of note8. You should search for reference about the seller on the net (google it)

I already did. found nothing. I wonder if Canada has Better business bureau? Im from US
I have found the following:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...dnight-Black-Unlocked-Pre-Order-/122668730109
I don't know anything about "ISF-Technology" and like yourself, I'm reluctant.
Does anyone know anything about this vendor? My understanding is that with the European unlocked models, that they are still "region locked" and must have this feature removed by first making a 5 minute call with an EU sim, or it will not work in the U.S.
I recently got a CN version Mi 11 Ultra after getting tired of waiting for the 12 ultra, only to find I cannot activate it on the ATT network because it is "not a recognized device". I've talked to 3 backend support people who all assured me it is not a compatible phone, they've had other people ask about this, and nothing can be done. However, I've seen threads here and on the ATT forums where people are able to get it to work quite easily. I've followed the advice about disabling carrier VoLTE check, and am on MIUI 13.0.4 Global, but still no bars.
What can be done? Is there another US carrier I can go with for which the phone will work?
Have you tried settings your APN to AT&T 4G?

Tmobile's imei checker said no, but I called and they said it would work. I'll go to the store tomorrow and ask.

i am on T-Mobile and got an 11 Ultra last week. i popped out the sim card from my iPhone mini and popped it into my new 11 Ultra and it worked immediately.
as soon as you sign up to their service, you should be good to go
ATT is trash. As soon as you switch to the new phone they will deactivate your account and you have to call them to unlock it. Then they give you this bull about your phone being a 3G device that they won't support anymore. I wasn't even with them a month before I dropped them and went to Google Fi. Best move I ever made. All unlocked devices work on G Fi as far as I have seen.
