it is a Global phone now

2G NetworkGSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G NetworkHSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - LT26i

so if you are in the US you can use this phone with Tmobile and ATT 2G, 3G, 3G+ (faux 4G) but it lack LTE 4G

hi, thanks for the answer.. but no I don't live in the US, but in latinamerica where I normally bought "a" version like my satio(U1a)

but if is it really a unique global version it should work right?? because here we use 850/1900 bands

altough i did find these pages taht talk about the "a" version here are the links:
