I am fairly certain it physically does not have the other bands, T-Mobile as far as I know does not disable other bands especially since they have global roaming plans.

I am trying to do this
The bands on the phone should not be locked. Please look up the LTE bands on the phone and see if your carrier supports them:

I am pretty sure it's an exercise in futility as T-Mobile does not block bands, the phone either physically has them or doesn't.
Better return/sell it and get the international version.

great job at answering his question
anyways, read the sony whitepaper
6653: only quad-band 3G (no AWS 3G), LTE bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28, TD-LTE band 40
6603: penta-band 3G, LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 20
looks like 6653 could be for a specific network/country (with the TD-LTE bands)

Would the 6653 work with north America?
The reason is because it's for sale here from a local import shop.
Thanks a lot for your help.
It will work fine, on 3G. No LTE. D6653 LTE bands are utilized in India, Asia etc. North American LTE bands are not active on this device with the exception of band 5 which is supposed to be utilized by AT&T in some areas of NYC. AT&T uses bands 2, 4 and 17 elsewhere for LTE.
Is it possible to change the model number from 6653 to 6603? And if so how? Will it make a difference if you can?

If you flash 6603 firmware it will change the model number but no additional bands will be enabled. I gave that a shot last year.
Aww :c is There anyway to Add more bands To the Xperia z3?
I don't believe so. You could try this method:

I have tried this on a couple Xiaomi devices and updated NV values stuck after reboot (requires root). No additional bands were enabled though.
6603 was made for North American market, right? And will work fine on AT&T?

Technically yes. My Xperia Z3 works perfectly on AT&T
Hi guys,
I have been searching for it but I wasn't quite successful. Here my question and the facts:
I bought the XT1040 in Colombia, hoping LTE would work out fine in Europe as well. As I figured out later, the European versione (XT1039) is the only one which would be working on the LTE bands here.
Is there any way to sort of unlock my XT1040 or to make it work with other LTE bands? According to the box it works with bands 4 and 7. I need for cities in Germany band 20. Is there a way to make that happen or should I save money for a new one? Interestingly, HSDPA+ does work.
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
I'm looking at getting a second-hand Z3 off eBay UK and noticed that there is the D6603 and the D6653. I'm aware that each supports different bands, but how significant is that in the UK? I see both support 900Mhz and 2100Mhz, is that alright?
Is there any other difference between the models other than band? Does anyone know what the model would be if I was to walk into a high street and purchase one? Just wondering why there's two different models circulating for the UK?

The bands your posted are for phone connection if i am not mistaken, but what matters are the LTE band that the phone supports for data. Meaning that both models gets phone connexion but not both supports the 3G 4G for data. I think the 6653 is missing the LTE band 2 and 4 but gets the band 28 compared to the 6603. You should check if your LTE courrier what band they use.
Hello friends,
I have an FDD-LTE MI4 and I live in Brazil.
I realized that the MI4 only works in the bands 1 and 3 of LTE, whereas in Brazil using the band 7, is there any way to unlock the other bands in MI4? I saw that this procedure is possible in other cells, but found nothing about the MI4.
I await response, and now thanks.

Pity no one has idea about this one. More xiaomi are vailable now throw sellers but it seems the LTE bands will not satisfy much countries.
I am in France and as you, if I buy I will not benefit from LTE...
I heard non-mtk models do support other bands but are locked because of licenses, don't know if true
I think the main difference between Chinese V10 and European/US View 10 is the LTE bands. Do you know if it's possible to unlock band 20 on the Chinese version?
Can the CMDA be used on verizon?
No. No Verizon or Sprint.
Must have t-mobile or at&t correct?
Yes, and any smaller carrier that depends on their bands.

Before buying an unlocked phone to use on a US GSM network, you need to research the 4G FDD radio bands used by the carrier and make sure the phone you want supports those FDD radio bands. (Verizon users, even when Verizon abandons CDMA in 2019, you won't be able to go out and buy any phone with the correct FDD bands and that supports VoLTE to use on their network. Verizon has made it clear that it will only provision phones that it has tested and certified.) Here's a link with US and Canadian carrier bands. https://www.signalbooster.com/pages/what-are-the-cellular-frequencies-of-cell-phone-carriers-in-usa-canada

Best I can do is recommend you search this page by the carrier in India that you use, it will tell you if you'll get 2G, 3G and LTE with the Honor View 10, TD-LTE BLN-AL10. https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/QePYuJz/huawei-honor-6x-dual-sim-td-lte-bln-al10/india
