putting my brand new mirco-sim card into the phone and I'm getting an "E" & like 4-5 bars of service.
No 2G/3G/4G or anything.
Driving to the T-mobile store now to see if they can help, but I highly doubt it.
I think I got screwed.

[fiddysheqel]

Where are you located?

[lawguyman]

That model does not support 4g at 1700 mhz or even 1900mhz. Where did you get it from?

[lawguyman]

By the way, "E" is 2g speed. It is short for Edge.

Sorry, people really need to wait or make sure they are getting one that matches their carrier and that even if your carrier allows phones not branded by them.

So for T-Mobile you would want the RFK121LW! The RFH121LW is TriBand HSPA without T-Mobile freqs and Internnational LTE Bands. So yep you are hosed! Where did you buy it from?

[freighter1]

Can you edit the apn?
Should be epc.tmobile.com
You should be able to get at least Edge maybe 3G depending on which city you are in

Good luck

[lawguyman]

He is getting edge.

I think you need RFK121LW not RFH to work on T-Mobile.

[dakid72]

This is why I am waiting to see if Sprint will get the Z10 or not, they told me directly (by chat) that they do not support phones they don't sell. If they do not get the Z10 I will take my talented Z10 to some other network, still not sure who it will be, will have to test the waters and see what I can get.
I will not be locked into a contract though, gonna buy the phone outright.

this information couldn't be more correct.
you are a genius!
I bought the RFH121LW from a random eBayer..
Just drove to Connecticut (about an hour away from my house)
to the GSMNation / Solavei warehouse and purchased a model #: RFF91LW for $1k
really nice people over there they actually gave me a $80 discount because of how far i traveled, and now i got my new bb10 working perfectly with 4G!!!!!!.

I will be returning the eBay seller, however I don't think it was my fault.
He should have stated in the description what model the BB10 was.
Hope this thread helps everyone out. before buying an unlocked z10 please know that there are DIFFERENT models!!
I had no freaking idea.
and to the person that I quoting.. this quote is what I should have read before I bought any z10..
now i literally have 6 Z10's I gotta return 5 to eBay, and re-order another 5 from these Solavei guys.

[Silverfern]

do you know if the T mobile you are on is 1700/2100 or 1900?

[lawguyman]

I have yet to hear of a rff91lw that did not work everywhere on 4g on T-Mobile.

[RHDJEEZY]

T-Mobile is on a 1700/2100

[RHDJEEZY]

I have yet to hear of a rff91lw that did not work everywhere on 4g on T-Mobile.

Please read my first post and the title of this thread.
I got a Model #: RFH121LW from eBay, which doesn't support T-Mobile unless you enjoy EDGE speeds.
I went out and purcahsed a model RFF91LW, and is now working perfectly with T-Mobile..
well.. WAS working.. I don't know what I did but read my other thread I made:

T-Mobile is on a 1700/2100

From http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...ml#post7982813 :

... Depending on the device you get, you may or may not be able to access T-Mobile's "4G" WCDMA (3G / HSDPA / HSUPA) network if it's not available through both PCS and AWS yet. T-Mobile is refarming its network to provide 3G / 4G access on PCS frequencies throughout its footprint (taking spectrum availability into consideration).

1700/2100 is AWS. LTE is a different story.

[Silverfern]

i am not too sure what that means, so will the RFF91LW also work with the 1700/2100 AWS from tmobile? or only the 1900?

[SCrid2000]

Sprint isn't getting the Zed and no phones except Sprint phones ever have worked on Sprint, even if they're 100% compatible band wise.

If the model specifications up-thread are correct, then RFF91LW *will* work using PCS 1900 using T-Mobile "3G / 4G" but *only* wherever the network has been refarmed for T-Mobile's WCDMA / 3G / 4G using PCS 1900 spectrum. It will not work on AWS.

but how about those reports of the 91 version working on wind's hspa network? thats whats really baffling me

Can't speak to that. Maybe someone else will comment.

[Marvin-13]

I don't understand why you all keep saying this. Why wouldn't an unlocked version work on Sprint? My sister has an unlocked iphone 4s and it works perfectly fine, so why cant the Z10???
