Compatible phone?

tuck53 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 17:16:25 GMT

Hi. I am using a moto-G6 on my Public Mobile account, and I am very pleased with the service Public Mobile gives me. My friend would like to purchase a Moto G8 Power Lite phone, and wants to know if it will work with a Public Mobile SIM card. Website says: "Will NOT work with CDMA Carriers Such as Verizon, Sprint, Boost." Should I advise her not to purchase that phone if she plans to stay with Public Mobile?

Does the web site go on to say it works with the likes of T-Mobile and/or AT&T? Oh look...those are the US roaming partners of Public Mobile.

@tuck53 according to this site https://www.frequencycheck.com/carrier-compatibility/83zYfGa/motorola-moto-g8-play-dual-sim-lte-a-latam-xt2015-2/public-mobile-canada it has both the required 3g and 4g LTE bands to work with PM. Stay safe.

My thread is on-going in the lounge. I didn't look if this one had dual sim and nfc and my wariness of Android One if it has it.

I ordered another Samsung A31 from ebay. Dang I hate mail-order. Probably another friggin month before I get it. Covid donchaknow. Meanwhile they have my money. Anyway...no need to sidetrack this thread.

Thanks! Got it for her. Can she use the same SIM card as she has in her MOTO G6, or does she need a new one?

@tuck53 take sim out of old phone put it in new one.most sims are 3 punch so if for example old phone takes a micro sim and new one is a nano just try punching the sim out.

Thank you much! Can she just take the Public Mobile SIM out of her G6 and use it in the G8 Power Lite?
