Which carriers for this phone?

Ok ... through email I have been corresponding with some of my fellow posters who were lucky and fortunate enough to be selected for one of the free 15 phones. Oh ... and they are all very smart too!

Anyway, I just wanted to get a list of all the U.S. carriers that support this phone. I know it will work with T Mobile. I think AT&T and Cricket? Who else.

I am with Verizon so I am getting a prepaid SIM from T Mobile for at least a month, since it will not work with Verizon. I also find this an opportunity to check out other service providers because I would love to cut loose from Verizon at some point in the future.

Technically any GSM carrier such as Metro (who runs on T-Mobile) or Cricket (who runs on the AT&T network). Also I believe it would work with U.S. Cellular if that is in your area.

Sadly no support for CDMA/LTE like Verizon or Sprint, but as mentioned you should be good to go with any GSM carriers with these bands (Courtesy of PhoneArena.com)

Does that support T-Mobile LTE?

I wonder if illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup
