Using Nexus 4 on AT&T

Hi, I've tried to research this as much as possible, but I haven't found a thread out there that addresses this key tidbit...

All AT&T reps have told me that if I switch to AT&T that my Nexus 4 will only be capable of 2G speeds. Can anyone help me confirm this? I'm on T-Mobile and I need better service!!

@alanudi,

 

The AT&T reps, are correct. You may have to purchase a new phone if switching carriers.


OK, so I've officially plugged in the AT&T sim card, reboot the phone, and I now have "H" next to my signal, which some people call 3.5G or 4G depending on which day of the week it is.

 

Definitely NOT limited to 2G.  I hope AT&T can update their internal information. This was way too hard to figure out such a simple thing 😛


Can you please let me know what your speeds are for that? I am possibly switching from a contract plan to the mobile share plan, and need a new phone, but I'm not about to pay $500+ for a phone, so I'm considering the Nexus 4, but I'm getting all sorts of mixed information as to how well it works on AT&T. Thanks!

Nexus 4 can run on H, as shown in picture below. Sorry, rooted device, but I did not mess up the signal.image.png
