Amazon has a "no contract" AT&T version but it really doesn't say "unlocked".

Bought mine 2 days ago from Amazon and it's 100% not branded. But i live in Germany and there's no AT&T here.
Thanks for the reply.
Is there anyone else on here from USA that can tell me the difference?
I don't believe nVidia have two SKU for the 32GB version. While amazon doesn't give any detail about the the LTE model, nVidia page specifically says, "Unlocked (compatible with AT&T, please check bands supported)". So it sound to me like even if it's unlocked, but because of the cell band it support, only AT&T will work in the US or even if other cell carrier would work, it wouldn't support most of the bands, so it will be spotty.
I am concerned mainly if additional at&t software is on the amazon one.
Just got my LTE tablet from Amazon today, at&t software comes installed
The North American LTE 32gb shield has at&t software and sim included but is technically unlocked for compatible carriers. The main other option for service is T-Mobile.
Anyone know what the unlocked international variant LTE bands are supported? Can't seem to find a definite answer on Clove or Unlocked Mobiles. I preorded it for use in the states, I'm sure it will be fine on T-mo and AT&T but just for peace of mind. Thanks!

Which one did you order it from? I might get it from either of those unless B&H offers it at the same or cheaper price. But if it comes down to that I would like to know which is more trustworthy Clove or UM?
Hi guys,
I just wanted to share this with you as I've purchased
in the past from these guys and had a great experience!
Right now they have the U Ultra for a really good price:

P.S= I hope this is OK for me to post it here, if not please let me know so that I can remove it ASAP.

Hey there,
Not that I am 100% sure, but I've called this statement into question in another thread, I'll repost here.
In one of the threads here on XDA, another member suggested he ordered the intl. model and it didnt support the right bands for the USA. Leading me to think there were multiple models.
I'm starting to think there isn't, here is why.
1. Michael Fisher (I think he's in Canada) imported a TW market phone for his early review. It appears to have LTE in the film, and he doesnt mention anything about incompatibilities.

2. Jeff Springer (I think he's in the USA) imported a HK market phone, it also appears to have LTE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fclOYUyfxnE&t=522s
I believe the belief that the intl. model doesnt support USA bands (2/4, etc) comes from the practice (poor practice, admittedly) for HTC's Taiwanese website to only declare the bands that it perceives are relevant to Taiwanese users. The HK website suggests the same as taiwan = FDD: B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28 TDD: B38/B39/B40/B41
The UK / India / USA / AU sites all state - FDD: Bands B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B17/B20/B28TDD: Bands B38/B39/B40/B41
With USA & AU not stating support for dual sim, but HK, TW, India, UK do.
I believe there is only one model (with multiple software variations), and the information published being variable.
I now know there are at least 2 model numbers. U-1u (Taiwan and HK confirmed to use this model, dual sim), and U-1h (single sim, AU and UK confirmed). But given the info above (michael fisher and Jeff Springer both importing the U-1u, and seemingly can connect to north american lte, seems to suggest that the band support for U-1u is wider than the official website specs)
HTC U Ultra - got from imobilephonex
Hey there
I got from New HTC U Ultra form imobilephonex
Really good price & brilliant phone :good:
Here is the breakdown officially from HTC's website. The dual band international version is missing 2, 4, 12 and 17. 17 being the most important one.
So get this I wake up to a text from FedEx saying I have a package coming I didn't order anything else so it's out for delivery! I checked the HTC site and it still says it hasn't been shipped and no tracking number!
It's cheaper on eBay (649) and it's from a US based seller instead of having it shipped from Asia. What is holding me back from this phone is the horrific resale value of HTC and LG products. Once the S8 is announced/released this HTC U Ultra can be purchased for an insane amount less than full retail. Apple and Samsung phones hold their value well even used but unfortunately phones like this are not worth buying new for full retail IMO.

Having an LTE sign does not mean it supports the entire range of the network.
This may seem silly because OnePlus Nord is sold in UK as well so there is no need to buy it from India. But there is a bit of a price difference that makes it around £80 cheaper to buy in India and I can purchase it there when I visit soon (all precautions taken during travel of course, given the current situation). So with that said, will the Indian version work in UK? Will it be compatible with the networks here? Is there any downsides? I guess I can expect VoLTE to not work as per another thread. Is that it?
Otherwise, I shall avoid being such a cheapskate and buy it from UK!
India version has all bands needed to work in UK. Specifically band n78 for 5G that is currently used by UK operators. Volte , yes will depend but there should be ways to make it work. Flashing EU build may be one option.
I'm about to take a contract to work in Kuwait for the next year. If I got the USA version, would it work in Kuwait? Is there a different version that would be better to get?
Thank you in advance!
Determine the service provider you will be using, find out what bands they support, and then check the Asus site or the posts about bands to find which version will work best.
