I am a PhD student in Japan and I will be in the USA in March. Therefore, I would like to use my phone with an T-Mobile sim card for temporary purposes (especially for internet connection, call is not necessary) during my trip to the US. However, I would like to know if my phone compatibility with the T-Mobile sim card network. In addition, my phone company told me the phone is a domestic phone based in Japan. We converted it to sim free. I am looking forward to your reply.

No, this device will more than likely not work on T-Mobile USA.  It is a device primarily aimed at the Asian market.   It has a couple of bands T-Mobile does use in select locations, but Asian implementations of VoLTE are not compatible with T-Mobiles.  No VoLTE, no calling functions would work.

no worries..the site here has a decent amount of tools to use….that link i provided as well as one showing what all bands TMO uses..biggest one will be if the phone has VoLTE (Voice over LTE) or not..if it doesnt they wont allow it on their network anymore.
