Samsung A51 PM compatible?

Clefort88 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 15:26:52 GMT

Heya!
I’ve just purchased a Samsung A51; noticed now that I clicked the international version instead of Canadian one.
do I need to cancel my order and try again OR will it work with our network?? Very confused about the GSM factory unlock and the various bands of networks.

thanks 🙂

@Clefort88 I would cancel and grab the Canadian version just to avoid potential problems. Since you're buying the phone outright, it should be unlocked and ready to go!

@Clefort88 What's the submodel of this phone? Thanks. Stay safe.

@Clefort88 If you have a choice always select the Canadian or North American version.

It’s the SM-A515F/DS.
it’s unlocked from Samsung as well, I just didn’t notice that I had opted for the international version.

@Clefort88 Just checked the specs and that phone model will work without any issues. Note that model does not support NFC so you will not be able to use with Google Pay.

Oh thank goodness haha phew. NFC is not an issue for me at all. I don’t use it and don’t plan on using it.

Thank you SO MUCH for checking. I got so discombobulated looking at bands and frequency things that I honestly wanted to give up the whole order, period lol
