Does this Phone work with PM

CPdee99 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 21:43:09 GMT

My father has some phone from China that’s currently being used and wants to switch to PM but I can’t find his phone on List of approval. The phone is relatively new within the last year. It’s a Redmi 7. How can I find out if this phone will work with PM?

Yes, it's compatible, but there's a possibility that there are different versions of this model. I would advise getting the version that has LTE Band 4. For phone calls, ths model has UMTS bands 2 and 5, which are required, but that can also be used for data and text.

If I put my PM sim in his phone and it works is that safe to say I can sign him up with a PM plan?

Absolutely. An exactly perfect test. Calls in/out. Texts in/out. Browse a website. MMS in/out.

Yes, if you can confirm compatibility with an already active SIM card, then there will be zero doubt.

@CPdee99 I would try a PM sim card on it and if it works then its all good to go. Make sure you can call, text and browse internet.
