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.

This is the best post so far in this thread.
Virgin mobile Canada also uses LTE via Bells network. Just have to activate it on your nexus 4.

Will there be a Z1 model coming that supports U.S. AT&T LTE?

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.......

I don't care if AT&T is going to carry it, all I care about is sony releasing a model that will work with AT&T LTE lol :good:
Look at gsm arena. There's like 3 different models. Look for the 700 band one then buy that model

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.

ATT has 4,17, 29 bands.
Z1 white paper states that LTE bands 4 and 17 are supported.
thus......

700 is the frequency of the band 17, and not the band itself

Nice, so we are looking for model C6906. And just to clarify AT&T LTE needs the 700Mhz freq. correct?

Yes ATT operates mostly on 700 but in some markets they use 1700 I think. So check which band your using idk how just to confirm, but your probably good

On GSM arena it says that all models support 1700 but like you said AT&T only uses that in some markets.
Ebay sellers asking way to much. Haven't even ask them about the c6906

Sony said it was coming to the US so we might have to wait to get it direct from sony and it should be cheaper too.

Yea. Hate waiting tho. Lol. When the xz came out sony USA started selling it about 2 months or more later. I remember cause I bought the international version
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
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.

Quick question for you guys: does the Moto X DevEd have all the same radio bands as the T-Mobile edition? I'm considering returning my MotoMaker version since some of the bands don't work with T-Mobile and was wondering if I'd be in the same boat with the DevEd; namely that certain 3G bands won't work on T-Mobile? I've been searching XDA and the Motorola website, but I haven't found an answer. Thanks in advance
Looks like they will. Take a look on the specs page

Yeah I'm not entirely sure, the spec page for the DevEd doesn't list the 1700 band, which I think is needed for T-Mobile HSPA+ unless your area has been refarmed to the 1900 band already. So I want to make sure before I take the chance on buying the Developer Edition.
Right here - " 3G UMTS bands
850/900/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps (B5/B8/B4/B2/B1)"

Oh okay great, I was not aware of that. Thanks for clearing that up!
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.
Hi guys. so my friend just bought his moto x but he isnt picking up LTE. he has tmobile and a LTE capable sim card. we have the right apn and we live in an LTE area that has excellent service. we have no idea why it isnt working but it does pickup H+. when we choose the prefered network to lte it doesnt work at all. can anyone help
I had similar problem when I requested a replacement sim card 4g enabled only find that my phone tarrif was not a 4g one. Fortunately my provider (Tesco) was offering free upgrade and was for balance of contract, so no new contract.
