Importing to USA

I did it and it was painless. I had my concerns but someone on another forum recommended a reputable dealer "e-bagel-tw" on eBay. He accepted my "best offer" price and the shipping was free. Since it's an international phone, it has to have AT&Ts LTE enabled after you get it. Some people have been panicking thinking they're stuck with 3G, but it's perfectly compatible once you download and install the right files.
I can confirm that ebay seller "e-bagel-tw" is legit. I ordered my purple z2 from them and had it in my hands in 2 days from Taiwan to U.S. Phone has worked flawlessly for the 2 weeks I have had it.
I'm thinking of ordering as well, I've grown impatient with my handtec order. Did you guys get the noise cancelling headphones or dock charger? His ebay listing doesn't mention either. Thanks.
I bought my phone from this seller too. When I realized that the was no charging dock in the box, I contacted him and he sent me the dock free of charge.
Such a good and honest seller. He deserves your business

I'm also on AT&T. I will say that I'd you don't already have the correctly enabled sim card, the system will give you a 3G only one of they enable the Z2 in your account. I had to go back and get them to fake the system into thinking I siding a different model so that it would provision LTE on my account.
Other than that, turn on LTE in the settings and use the system software to download the Internet settings and you're golden.
FYI, I dealt with the same seller and have the same comments about how great he is.

I wish I was paying more attention at the time. I took the phone to a local AT&T device support location in NYC when I realized I was not receiving data. The tech there couldn't figure it out at first either which is when mild panic started to set in and I backed off to let him fiddle with it. Eventually, he had a eureka moment when he stumbled upon a setting that required the download of a little file that allows the phone to connect to US LTE carriers. AT&T was one of the choices. Now in my phones settings: tools...wireless networks...more...internet settings...accept...and one of the three choices is ATT.

Do you mind sharing what your offered to pay that he accepted?
What were the other carrier options under US? Was T-Mobile one of them?
I saw a few people with tmobile saying they got LTE going.
Can anyone confirm the noise canceling earphones from the suggested eBay seller? Thanks
Yeah, the noise cancelling earphones were included in the box.

I am also very interested in this. I would appreciate the share.
And thanks for all the info guys. Great stuff!
I didn't want to be a time waster and make a ridiculously low offer so, I said $850 and it was accepted.
My Taiwan version will allow bootloader unlock.

In my case, it only took less than 54 hours from the moment I sent payment to receive two Z2 at my house in Minnesota. DHL is lighting fast. I bought from that guy as well1
Hi,
I have the phone from this ebay seller and I can guarantee that it fully works on T-Mobile. Very good reception and LTE1
Hi,
Out of the box you'll get service, to get data there's an option that lets you download internet and MMS. You press the button and does everything for you in less than a minute.
Performance wise is very similar to a Nexus 5 since being very similar to stock. I downloaded the Google Launcher and you can't tell the difference. I had the M8 for a couple of weeks as well before I returned it and I have no regrets. Touchwiz is always going to lag no matter what.
Mine is an aluminum body with the edges surrounding the screen being plastic. I can assure that the phone build is awesome because i dropped the phone 3rd day of owning it getting out of my car :/. It suffered only a couple of scratches on the body.
Is an awesome phone with great battery life and awesome camera.
