    A couple of CB members bought Verizon Z30s for use on T-Mobile and are not getting LTE. This should not be happening. So I have this poll up. Please vote if:

    You are an AT&T customer (2 choices)
    You are a T-Mobile customer (2 choices)

    I have a fairly decent idea of what the poll results should show for AT&T customers, but it's really T-Mobile I'm interested in. I have enabled multiple choice so in case someone is using both TMO and AT&T SIMs, they can post on both networks.

    My question is this: does the Verizon Z30 have the radio capacities for 1700 and 2100 bands? If not, then it's never going to get the T-Mobile LTE capacity.

    Very good question, and I should have clarified in my OP.

    T-Mobile uses 1700 MHz for LTE (band 4.) Verizon, in some places, also uses band 4, and the Verizon Z30 packs this band. So theoretically, a Verizon Z30 should get LTE everywhere T-Mobile has LTE. However, this may not be happening, which is the reason for this thread.

    1700 downlink/2100 uplink is only for HSPA. I don't think they're using the same scheme for the LTE network.

    Just to confirm, you are using a Verizon Z30 on T-Mobile and you're seeing LTE?

    I have a Z30 and I'm with tmobile. I have an unbranded unlocked Z30STA100-5. I don't believe it is the Verizon model. I do however get 4G LTE.

    I'm interested in these findings as well. Planning to purchase a Verizon version to use on T-Mobile.

    I tested a Verizon z30 on T-Mobile and it did not get Lte. It kept dropping calls and spent most of its time on Edge. It was a very bad experience.

    I now have an unbranded Sta100-5 model on T-Mobile and it rocks. Lte 90% of the time. It has not dropped a call yet. Night and day diference.

    Thank you, Alberto. You were one of two people I had in mind when I created this thread/poll.

    Thanks for those who have voted. Remember, this poll is targeted towards Verizon Z30 (STA100-3) owners who are using this model on T-Mobile and/or AT&T.

    It does, but the unit I was testing never got LTE on T-Mobile. Furthermore, It kept dropping calls and It was spending quite a bit of time on Edge and switching between data and voice only. It was very unstable. I returned the unit today. It may have been a defective unit for all I know. Anyway, I got a white Z30 STA100-5 and its rocking on T-mobile. It is solid. I've never used T-mobile before because of the bad coverage reputation but It seems to be better than AT&T at least here in El Paso. The Z30 is a super phone. Just make sure you get the right model.

    My question is this: does the Verizon Z30 have the radio capacities for 1700 and 2100 bands? If not, then it's never going to get the T-Mobile LTE capacity.

    We should buy a Z30 and pass it around testing it town by town, some of us driving around.

    And I bet you, the data we collect will be more useful than anything the carriers will ever put out

    I have a Verizon STA100-3 and use it on AT&T. 4G so far but no LTE. I still haven't been into Phoenix where it was reported having LTE band 4 which should work fine with my phone.

    Strangely enough AT&T sees my IMEI as a non-smartphone. Not sure why that is happening but maybe I need to get into an AT&T store and get a new SIM. But as I said I'm getting 4G so I'm not sure if there is a problem or not.

    Thanks. And you're in a confirmed TMO LTE market?
