Redmi 6

killerofmusic — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 14:59:55 GMT

Hi so a family member of mine bought a redmi 6 from India some time ago. It's only sold in India. It is compatible with all the 4G and 3G public bands(frequency). However, previously a similar phone bought from India did not work with a canadian sim card due to being locked to only working in India. So if someone has a Redmi 6 bought from India and are using with Public please let me know.

Thanks !

@killerofmusic If you know any one with a SIM that fits your phone, borrow and insert it. It doesn't even have to be a PM SIM. That should tell you if your Redmi 6 will work in Canada.

@killerofmusic Are you near them? Put your pm Sim in the phone. If not, tell them to put any Telus Koodo PM sim and see if it works

I did some research and there is a model in India. Here are the specs.

I'd say 3g only, but for most, this is ok. Others may have more informed input.

@killerofmusic , the Indian version of the Redmi 6 will work on Public Mobile. Band 2 and 5 on 3G and Band 5 FDD-LTE on 4G are the compatible bands. Be aware that there may be limited capability on 4G as Band 4 FDD-LTE is the most popular band.

The phone needs to be unlocked to work with PM. That phone will work as long as it's not locked.

@killerofmusic No matter where the phone is bought. If it is unlocked, it will work.

@killerofmusic If you are going to buy a phone to use in NA best to make sure it has LTE/4G B4 otherwise avoid.

@geopublic It has 4G. I have seen it work on 4G LTE in India.

@will13am Awesome. This is what i was looking for. Unfortunately I already gave someone else as Solution and I don't think it can be taken back. Thanks a lot for your help though.

@killerofmusic It has to support band B4 otherwise you will experience problems with connectivity depending on your location.

@killerofmusic The whole idea behind the solution is so that another customer with a similar problem can find the correct solution without having to go through the other posts.

So please go ahead and mark the correct reply as the solution.:smileyhappy:

@killerofmusic , that is okay. I do think you can undo the solution. No worries anyway.
