I'm looking to get a z10 from overseas but I've seen there are 4 models:

BlackBerry Z10 STL100-1 (aka R072): (Started in UAE but now in many other countries)

Quad Band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) Quad-Band HSPA+ 1, 2, 5/6, 8 (850/900/1900/2100 MHz) with support for 21Mbps HSPA+

BlackBerry Z10 STL100-2 (aka R086): (UK version and other carriers)

Quad Band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) Tri Band HSPA+ 1, 5/6, 8 (2100/850/900 MHz) Quad Band LTE 3, 7, 8, 20 (1800/2600/900/700 MHz)

BlackBerry Z10 STL100-3 (aka R070): (AT&T and many other carriers)

Quad Band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) Quad-band HSPA+ support: UMTS 800/850, UMTS 1700, UMTS 1900, UMTS 2100 MHz band (800/850/1700/1900/2100) Quad Band LTE 2, 5, 4, 17 (700/850/1900/1700 MHz)

BlackBerry Z10 STL100-4 (aka R069): (Verizon Wireless)

CDMA/PCS (850/1900 MHz) WCDMA Band 1 & 8 (900/2100 MHz) Quad Band GSM/EDGE (850/900/1900/1800 MHz) LTE Band-13 (700MHz)

If anyone has an LTE version what is your model number please. Wikipedia doesn't mention a 4g version coming to sa.

R086 will be your best bet. I believe one of the SA networks use 2600 MHz for LTE. Scrap the R069 - it doesn't support our GSM-based networks.

From my own research im pretty sure the STL100-2 will work. But confirmation would be great.

The STL100-2 is Available from Vodacom
