from my experience when I first got the unit I tried using an AT&T; sim card. The unit did not work as it was supposed. I wasn't able to control it remotely from my cell phone. I called the seller and they advised me to use a t-mobile sim card. I then went to t-mobile and activated a prepaid SIM card and then the unit worked as it was supposed. from my understanding AT&T; no longer has 2g capability but T-mobile does. Hope this helps. The seller's customer service is also pretty good.

Yes. That's what I got and it works. Sends texts when you arm or disarm. However, texts aren't consistant.

Did you read the specifications for it?? Yes it has GSM,, BUT!!!! You really need to look at the radio frequencies it works on and then check the radio frequencies of the service provider you want to use it on.For example. Here in the USA both AT&T; and T-Mobile use the GSM system, BUT!!! T-Mobile uses a radio frequencies for their LTE or 3G service that the table doesn't accommodate. So using the GT-P6800 on T-Mobile limits it to 2G (<.7 mpbs max speed) service while using it on AT&T; at least lets it get the faster HSPDA+ (~ .7 -1.5 mbps) service even though it doesn't get AT&T; LTE service.So, look at the radio specs and check the carrier requirements.

Hi. Idk if is gonna work or not, I tested with the Tmobile 4G LTE broadband sim card the speed is slow on this device, I mean is very. ... very slow, on the monitor show only 2G speed, not 3G as advertised. I guess you can contact the seller, maybe they will give you the answer.

Yes it will take a T-mobile Sim card. I use a Simple mobile Sim card now I no longer have T-mobile as my carrier but both carriers use the same network. I had to upgrade my plan to Simple mobiles Blackberry plan in order to use all the functions the phone has to offer. I suggest you find out if T-mobile offers a Blackberry plan as well and see if you will have to upgrade to that plan if you do not already have a Blackberry plan. I hope this information was helpful. Have a blessed day!

Yes Obito,my carrier as well as many others piggyback off of T-Mobile,all you need is a Nano SIM card and you're up and running. Obito,congratulations if you're thinking about getting this phone because it is very good I would say ideal if it had Adobe Flash Player,which is something most people want,but if you can do without it or when you put your sim into the phone from your previous one then you're set,I hope I've given you something to think about as you decide whether or not to purchase this phone,have a blessed day.

I just receive this phone, after I put the T-Mobile SIM card in, and I turn on the phone , it show I need to active the phone and press the call key. it connect to Verizon. and Verizon told me since I am not Verizon account, so cannot active the phone for me. so I cannot use this phone for T-Mobile SIM card. anybody know how to active this phone with T-Mobile SIM card?

As of right now, I have not been able to get the LTE to work, but I've heard it's optional. Also, I got it working on T-Mobile just fine, I just took it to a store to get a micro sim card to put in the phone.

You will only get 2G DATA, not 3G and not 4G on T-Mobile. T-Mobile requires WCDMA frequency 2100 AND 850 (both must be present for high speed data), this phone does not support those frequency's.

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.

This is carrier specific so it utilizes tmobiles frequencies 850/1700/1900 for service. If the device is unlocked you can use it on any operator that uses the same frequencies in that country it's just a matter of getting a sim card.

You can as long is it the standard size and not a micro sim, it is already set up for T-Mobile

The Q10 requires a micro-size sim card; mine did not come with one, but any T-mobile store will happily furnish and install a sim card at no charge for T-mobile users.

This phone has 2 slots for sim card. One is for regular, and the other one is for micro sim. Both should work with 2G and 3G/4G (also called HSPA+).I'm using mine with my T-mobile micro sim.Also, to Emery who answered before: you phone is probably defective. Both slots should work perfectly with T-mobile. But anyway, I don't think it bothers you.

Julie, I don't know what you mean. As previous responded, you have to go to a T-Mobile or an AT&T; module in order to purchase the SIM card.Cheers,

You can also take your SIM to Tmobile (or most phone stores) and have them punch your regular sim down to micro size. Most newer sims are actually microsims in a "wrapper", so there is a little punch that will make it the right size.

Yes, you can use your T-Mobile SIM card, virtually you can use any SIM card from any carrier. Unlocked phones can be used anywhere in the world.
