R800a, R800at, R800i, R800x, Z1i ???
PLUS, are there any others I'm missing here??
thanks
r800a is the version sold by most countries in America.
r800at is the version sold by AT&T (carrier in USA).
r800x is the version sold by Verizon (carrier in USA).
r800i is the international version and is sold in the rest of the world.
I don't know about Z1i, never heard of it.
ok, thanks
Z1i sounds like an xperia arc model not a play.

I am considering getting a Xperia PLAY 4 AT&T for when my contract ends with Verizon. I aw the new T-Mobile plans that were announced on July 1st and am considering going with them, as they have a new plan where if you bring in your own phone their services are really cheap. Anyway, my question is if anyone here is using the AT&T PLAY on T-Mobile in the US if they can tell me how good is the HSPA+ with T-Mobile? I thought I have seen somewhere that TMo and AT&T share the same frequency for HSPA+. Can anyone give me there feedback on this? Thank you in advance.

Edit : I read your post wrong at first. I know my r800a is carrier unlocked and will work for both att and tmobile. But I havent used it yet, If I do though, I will be sure and let you know!
Hate to revive an old thread but wanted to let everyone know I switched from VZ to Tmobile last night, and I am getting 7mbps down 2mbps up on my unlocked AT&T xperia play.
All in all I am very happy.
Kinda off topic but whats the model for the play 4g as I looked it up and could not find it...wouldn't be different then the r800a/i/x/at or is the at the 4g version?

Its AT&T's xperia play (R800at) they call it the xperia play 4G because it has the HSPA+ frequency. So not really 4G, more like 3.5G.

Huh..... I wasnt aware the R800a was also HSPA+ capable.... is the R800a from Rogers in Canada? Because if memory serves me right Rogers uses the same frequencies as AT&T.
I belive the a is for Latin america

The "r800A" and "AT" are pretty much identical. I think the "A" was just sold outside the US. You could get an R800A and flash the right TA file to it and use it on AT&T.

I have an R800a on t-mobile but the hspa is super slow for me, has the big H symbol but its exactly what I expect running edge, something must be wrong, is 120-150 kbps on hspa normal?
Ive searched and do not see any information on this. I want to buy the verizon version (good deal) and then put it on sprint network. Anyone happen to know if this is possible?
Not possible. Moto z play droid only has vzw radios

So i got this moto z2 force from a guy, it is on t-mobile's network. IMEI is clean, t-mobile checked and said this phone doesn't belong to there network anymore. The guy who sold me said it is unlocked. In past of all the phones i bought, whenever you inserted a non-default network sim card it would ask you for a unlock code. On moto z2 it doesn't ask me any code at all when i insert ATT sim card, i did try to reset network settings but still dind't detect. Would like to know if others have experienced this on unlocked phone.

To unlock the phone you have to use the unlock app.

Are you saying you put an active at&t sim in the phone and it doesn't work? Or are you only saying you put an inactive one to test it ?
Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk
You don't have to put a Sim in or have a code. You use their unlock app which is preinstalled on the phone.

Did you unlock it through the Unlock app, and did you input a AT&T apn?

Maybe you can try and call T-Mobile and see if they paid the phone off before selling it to you. If it's legit and paid off maybe they'll be nice and unlock it.

They won't unlock it for a person who has never had an account with them and the device associated with that account.

I'd probably look into returning it before you get screwed then.

Sorry. Realized you didn't buy it on eBay. Then maybe sell it to someone as a T-Mobile only phone. It sounds like it's not unlocked.

I have an account with T-Mobile so it's easy for me. It's just hard for non customers. Former customers can still unlock stuff up to a point.

Sounds like it might be a Craigslist type deal and the guy is stuck with the phone as is. Maybe if the IMEI is good he could at least sell it for what he bought it for or close.
I don't think it's as simple as an APN. I feel like most phones have that sorted out automatically these days. A Verizon prepaid Moto E will connect to TMobile automatically without APN settings. Its not like it used to be.
Sounds like he just got screwed. I suggest for Craigslist deals or things like that you test the sim before you buy.

Well eBay is nice about returns. If it says unlocked and it isn't. He can get his money back.

Appreciate everyone's concern. Should have specified more details. I am currently using MetroPCS on it, so yeah I can use the phone , plus the price that I paid for the phone was very good. I am thinking to get it unlocked I will get t mobile prepaid and add $110 , use it for few days and then try to get it unlocked.
Takes more than a few days i think its 90 days but not 100% on that

Just get a friend with an account to call TMobile to unlock.
But if it's paid off they should unlock regardless...

He's prepaid. Takes a couple says. If it takes longer than that just contact T-Mobile through Twitter and viola. It should be taken care off.

Your friend would need the phone for a couple of days on his line if the phone was never used. It will not unlock automatically without that.

Contacted t mobile thorough Twitter chart, was very helpful. Got $110 on the account, unfortunately TMobile couldn't unlock it because they said when they try to unlock it says it is not a TMobile phone , basically they told me whoever sold the phone probably didn't purchase from them. I am looking other places to unlock.
Finally got my T-Mobile phone unlocked by unlockunit dot com. costed me $70 and they did it in a few hrs after ordering it. Worth the money for me.
Thinking about buying a sprint lg g8 that's gsm unlocked. If I do so will I still get updates when they are issued through Sprint?
