    Yes...I searched before posting.

    Okay. so I got my Z10 today and everything is working great...except...I can't tell if I'm on h+ or LTE.

    I was getting "4g" so I called ATT and they put the IMEI on my mobile share data plan. Restarted and now shows "4G" but not LTE.

    Problem is I live in Bloomington, IN and the LTE speeds here suck big time. I'm only getting 1.6GB down but that's unfortunately not unusual for here on LTE.

    Anyone with unlocked on ATT showing "LTE" on status bar?

    I highly doubt you're getting LTE service at all. Your "4g" display is AT&T's HSPA+.

    As it stands, AT&T is claiming they cannot register the Z10's IMEI because it's "not a supported device." As a result, they're not able to put you on a compatible LTE plan because one doesn't exist. The 4g service you're getting is more than likely the same plan your prior BlackBerry was using.

    I've spent almost 6 hours on the phone with AT&T in the past week dealing with the same issue.

    Best of luck.

    I am also on AT&T, but I am getting LTE. The store I went to set me up on a generic LTE smartphone plan with a dummy imei. Everything is working great.

    Interesting. I've been using iPhone since 07. I suspect you are right, even though she assured me she registered the IMEI. After it switched from 4g to 4G, I opened Blackberry World and the AT&T Featured Apps showed up. The max download speed I'm getting is ~3.6MB. Hopefully I'll be in Indianapolis sometime this week to do a proper test. On my iPhone I'd get 32MB down on LTE. I just don't know since LTE is not displayed. AT&T Rep said she can't comment if it "should" read LTE since it's an unlocked device.

    I got my unlocked Z10 a couple of weeks ago and immediately ran to my AT&T store. They could not provision it as a Z10 since it's not yet in their system. The associate took another workers Android phone and used it register and get me a plan. My status bar shows 4G LTE. He told me to come back after AT&T releases the Z10 and have my phone "corrected" in their system.

    The Z10 says "LTE4G" in the status bar when you are on LTE.

    Ok. So here's the latest. Spent 45 minutes on phone with ATT. We switched the IMEI to my old LG Optimus G, put me on android LTE plan. STILL NO LTE?!?

    I'm assuming that my model (Z10 STL100-1-Regional Middle East)(RFG81UW) makes no difference. I should be able to access the LTE radio and get LTE.

    Starting to get frustrated!

    The model matters, it has to have Att LTE bands.

    Uh oh.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think your device is LTE ready. If it is, I'm fairly certain it will not work on the AT&T network. I hope I'm wrong for your sake. I really do.

    No. You will never get LTE on that phone. You should have done your research mate. The STL100-1 is HSPA+ only. You should have got the STL100-3 for LTE to work on AT&T.

    Damn. A couple of options:

    1. Contact the seller and try to get a refund. If your situation is like mine, that's unlikely.
    2. Sell it on eBay fast. Price is coming down by the week.
    3. Deal with H+ coverage.

    Best of luck, Mike..

    It was listed on eBay as 100-3 and stated LTE support. I'll get my $ back and buy the -3 model.

    I found a Z10 on Amazon that I'm considering buying but not 100% sure on somethings. Someone please help...it says its a International Unlocked Z10...I have ATT as my carrier, would this international unlocked phone work with ATT 4G LTE here in the states? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Returned the 100-1 and finally got my 100-3 Z10 today and WOW! Very fast LTE speeds and working like a charm. The 10.0.10 update is downloading as I type! I'm a happy boy!
