Hi all,
Do you know if Nexus 5 is 100% compatible with AT&T. I know a lot of articles state that Nexus 5 will work with AT&T, but that is not saying that it will work with all of the AT&T frequencies (ex: Voice and Data (2G, 3G, 4G (HSPA and HSPA+), & 4G LTE).
going thru https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/14213d9b713c65ce it looks like Nexus 5 is not compatible with AT&T HSPA network.
Here is a frequencey comparision by one of the Google group posters (credit to Chad Tulp)
"4G LTE-
Looks like AT&T uses LTE bands 4/17/29/30
The Nexus 5 can use any of these 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
So a Nexus 5 on AT&T can use bands 4 and 17 for LTE
3G-
AT&T uses UMTS bands 2/5
(UMTS uses wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA))
The Nexus 5 can use any of these WCDMA bands 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
So a nexus 5 on At&T can use bands 2 and 5 for 3G"
Here is another post (credit to Darren Harper):
"I've looked at the AT&T frequencies (AT&T Mobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) and it looks like the GSM and most LTE frequencies will work. The only problems I see are with the 3G HSPA+ protocols and the new LTE 30 band, which isn't listed as supported by the Nexus 5. If you don't have full 4G LTE coverage where you are, I would wait for official confirmation."
Any ideas suggestions etc., Thanks.
