Will it work on AT&T LTE Network?

[CrazyCamel369#AC]

I'm a little confused. I know the device is unlocked and can be used with pretty much any GSM carrier, I have AT&T but according to Google Play Store info on the Nexus 5, it's only supporting Sprint and T-Mobile? Can I get AT&T LTE off of it?

Yes it does. I think their LTE runs on band 4 & 17 which is supported.

I think the carrier listing on there are the carriers that will sell the nexus 5 in their stores.

I wondered this also after I saw the specs. I just assumed it would work on At&t because all nexus phones I've had have. They are still updating their site so all the information may not be there.

Yes it will. Sprint and T-Mobile are just the two carriers that will also carry the device in-store

I am wondering the same thing. It lists the 17 LTE band, but I thought AT&T also used the 700 band. It does not list the 700 band.

According to wiki the 17 band is the 700Mhz band.

Good. Thanks.

Google Product Support says it works just fine on AT&T.

The AT&T G2 is listed as operating on LTE bands 2, 4, 5 and 17. The Nexus 5 also lists all of those bands.

Information is still being released, so exact details should follow.

Do you think you'll have to call into at&t to get a dummy imei so you get the correct data package like we had to do with the nexus 4? Which was a pain.

 

[Shilohcane]

This story says yes... and Sprint will charge $150 for the N5 with two year contract.

Nexus 5 coming to Sprint, T-Mobile, will also work on AT&T's network

 

[austriak]

Will we have to manually fill out the APN or will it automatically recognize that is AT&T and have the right APN?

Only if you are not currently on an ATT LTE plan. If you are just swap the SIM.

I cannot remember with my Nexus 4. But on my S4 Google Edition, it was automatic on LTE.

That's band 4. AT&T uses this band in only a few markets. Most of their LTE network operates on band 17, and this is what the majority of their customers use.

Thanks. Last time I had to do that, it was horrible. I was switching from iPhone 4 to Nexus 4 and they just didn't get it and wouldn't give me a dummy IMEI. Something about it wasn't an AT&T phone they wouldn't do it for me.I never really got the HSPA+ on the Nexus 4, always just HSPA. So this is why I haven't ordered the Nexus 5 yet because I don't want to have to go though this all over again and them telling me that they won't do it.

Should I still order the Nexus 5?
