Hello, Can someone please post a list of all the Current mobile network bands for Spark (and 2 Degrees if possible). I am looking at importing a US version of the HTC m9 plus, and would like to know if it would be compatible with Spark or 2 Degrees networks, and if i would run into any other issues, suck as SIM or google play problems ect...

Here is a link to the HTC M9 Plus i am looking at: http://www.amazon.com/HTC-M9pw-Gunmetal-Factory-Unlocked/dp/B00XKHDFGG/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1437079775&sr=1-1&keywords=htc+m9+plus

Any help would be appreciated, and i'm new around here. Thanks!
(Im not sure this is in the right fourm?)

[Mod Edit |Stu| Moved to 'Mobile Handsets' as the requested information is for compatibility with different providers.]

Check out the comment section of Amazon - it appears to be the Chinese version since it is linked against the Chinese Play Store so is a high likelihood that there are other gotchas. Personally I'd hold out until the HTC M9 Plus for Europe appears and then see what happens there.

Is the play store location able to be changed?

It appears to have the correct frequencies for NZ. The ones reqd are UMTS 850/900/2100 LTE FDD BANDS 3 28

Should work on all carriers in NZ

You can always sideload apps if there is no playstore.

GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz, UMTS: 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz; TD-SCDMA: 1900 / 2000 MHz, LTE: FDD Bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28; TDD Bands 38, 39, 40, 41.
