Device Compatibility - Note 9

e11en — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 11:03:28 GMT

Does Samsung Galaxy Note 9 work with Public Mobile? Does it depend on the model, or all models under Note 9 work? Note 9 isn't under Check Your Phone device compatibility list.

It's probably too new to be on the list but if it's the Canadian model it will work for sure

Check your phone bands.

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Discussions/LTE-network-fundamentals/m-p/134356#M5822...

Public Mobile uses the following frequency bands:

4G LTE and LTE Advanced: 700 MHz, 850 MHz, 1900 MHz and 2100 MHz downlink and 1700 MHz uplink (AWS).
HSPA: 850 MHz, 1900 MHz (UMTS).

@e11en If you bought it in Canada from an authorized retailer it will work. If you used the phone previously on any of the Major 3 Telcos or there sub brands then it will work. If it's an International version model Thein it will work. Otherwise check the bands to make sure it's supported.

Maybe post what kind of phone you have right now and someone here will most likely be able to let you know whether it's compatible with PM. It must be unlocked and compatible with either Telus/Bell network.

A better idea would be, if you have a Note 9, and are wondering if it's compatible or not, why not post which model you have, and maybe someone here will be able to tell you whether or not it'll work.

LOL - ninja'd by 12 seconds! 🙄

Haha:) Actually it doesn't matter as this is an old thread and the original OP never came back to update or mark their solution..

According to the specs/notes on Ebay for a refurbished version of this, it is compatible with all the networks here except for Freedom, Chatr and Videotron. Sounds like it should be good but I would wait to see if someone who already has that particular model replies first before buying it just in case there is something else to consider.

According to gsmarena it should work fine. Check Samsung too. You want 3G WCDMA UMTS etc = 850 1900 for voice. And 4G LTE = 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 12(700).

I'll just buy it and report back. Worst case I resell it.

I strongly advise on proceeding in that manner. If a phone doesn't have UMTS 850 and 1900MHz that Public Mobile uses for voice, the reslate value of this device will be next to non-existent. While carriers such as Rogers, Koodo, Bell, etc. offer VoLTE, device comptability for that is also often limited. This pretty much means that UMTS 850 and 1900MHz are essentially a must for cell phone users in Canada.

Can confirm SM N960U talk and text works. Need to wait a few days for my data to reset to confirm that.

Thanks again everyone.

Purchased an add on and confirmed data works as well. PM give me discount now, I'm useful.

Hi there,

Yes this model works with public mobile, phone must be unlocked or locked to Telus/Koodo.
