My guess is that AT&T; is locking you into a long term contract where they make back the discount in monthly fees. T Mobile isn't a long term contract so that take their cut up front, but you can cancel anytime. And yes, essentially, it is all the same GSM network. Technically different towers and different antenna's are owned by individual companies, but they basically eliminated "Roaming" over 10 years ago.

I guess carrier set their own pricing. I an with Sprint so I couldn't tell you.

where are you located, depending on the mobile carrier you can get a data sim card and a monthly contract and an allotment of gb, or you can use the SIM card with prepayment. Beware the E568 does not work on Tmobile US, It may work on ATT, I use it in the UAE mostly using a local datasim card and buy 2 gb each time

It has all the holes and cutouts for your sensors and mic, etc..EDIT we have the T-Mobile version. Can't say ATT won't be the same but I cannot see why it would be different.

Newegg has the same phone, known as the "Huawei IDEOS U8150". The only difference is that no telco touched it, so it doesn't have a T-mobile sticker, or any form of carrier lockout. After you lose the T-Mobile subsidy, the price comes out to $8 less. Strange things happening in the cell market, nowadays.Edit: found out why - it was a SECRET refurb! Newegg never said so on their listing, sneaky guys.

Hello Marcia, I have two daughters that have this phone. One uses AT&T; $25 monthly service and the other uses H2O $50 monthly service. The cheaper AT&T; service is perfect and clear, the more expensive H2O service breaks up and fades out. I don't know what service your using, but for us there is a difference. Hope that helps.

Not sure I think its a small hardware difference between the Verizon and t-mobile versions

Good afternoon. The phone I purchased was unlocked. I'm not sure about the sim, but thought it was called a nano sim. TMobile provided it at no charge when I took my phone in and signed up for a plan. "up 4G signal?" That's not really a question. "is the one shown in the photos?" -- again, that's not really a question, but a fragment. If it helps, my phone looks exactly like the one in the photo.

I'm not with T-Mobile. I'm with H2O which is affiliated with AT&T.; My service has been great, I'm sorry that I can't help you out about T Mobile

If you're getting this phone, just pop in the sim and get the $10 unlimited medianet plan from AT&T.; Same exact internet and the IMEI number sent to them is labeled as an unknown phone, so they won't know the difference.

As it turns out, my T-Mobile service worked awesomely and I haven't activated service on an at&t; network, which I thought I'd need to do for 3/4g. I believe that means that at&t; will be as good as or better than the T-Mobile network. Overall I'm more and more impressed with this phone!

I've had the phone for a couple of years now. It was locked to tmobile, which was fine with me. People don't seem to pay a lot of attention to their listings and there are frequent errors. You do have to ask questions.

It's a GSM phone that was branded/sold by T-Mobile. By default it's locked to T-Mobile but it can be unlocked. I unlocked mine with a $5 code on eBay. Still, it's limited to EDGE/2G data on AT&T; because it does not support the correct 3G frequencies. It only supports AWS 1700/2100MHz 3G, and AT&T; is PCS 850/1900MHz

Unless they changed it, I got the tmobile grey when I ordered it. Not the international black unlocked gsm version.

I use Tmobile on mine. Ive seen complaints on this phone about 4G not showing on the phone, that it has hspa+ which is basically the same thing, at least in my area. we dont have "true" 4G here, but it works great on the 3G network we get.

The phone I purchased is not unlocked. I just needed a micro SIM card. They can either cut your older SIM card or issue you a new one. There is no charge if you have an att account.

How about TRD Trading? Do they send the correct i9020a version for AT&T; US bands?This posting from Amazon is so broke it's not funny. Its a lottery of what version you get despite the listing showing i9020a...
