I had a question about this phone, Moto G100

makkahn28 — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 16:54:01 GMT

Will this phone work in Canada?

NETWORK

Technology	GSM / HSPA / LTE / 5G
2G bands	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
3G bands	HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100
4G bands	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 20, 26, 28, 32, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 66
5G bands	1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28, 38, 41, 66, 77, 78 SA/NSA/Sub6
Speed	HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps, LTE-A (CA) Cat20 2000/200 Mbps, 5G

These are the specs on GSMArena, But, the Phone is Only available to buy in US, But Amazon.ca has a Refurbished one, But, my concern is whether Phone will work in Canada

Now, When it comes to the Bands and stuff, Canada & US Bands should be compatible correct?

If, example, if let's say you cross border for, Vacation, or Grocery Shopping, Car breaks down. or something, a working phone would super important

As long as phone can handle PM/Telus frequencies, it should work.

https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/check-your-phones-compatibility

3G = WCDMA = UMTS = HSPA. 4G = LTE

Minimum recommended phone specs:

3G UMTS/W-CDMA/HSPA: B2 (1900) and B5 (850)

4G FDD-LTE: B4 and B12

Telus current LTE bands are (in order of band number):

B2 (1900 MHz or PCS)

B4/B66 (2100 MHz or 1700 MHz or AWS / AWS-1)

B5 (850 MHz or CELLULAR / CLR)

As of March 2021, B5 is no longer available in urban Manitoba (Winnipeg and Brandon)

B7 (2600 MHz or 2500 MHz or BRS)

B12/B17 (700 MHz or MBS)

B13 (700 MHz or MBS)

B29 (700 MHz or MBS), for downlink only (SCC for CA only)

B30 (2300 MHz or WCS), for TELUS only (not shared with Bell at this time)

Just inquiring

Moto G100 (128GB, 8GB) 6.55" 90Hz, Dual SIM Euro 5G /Global 4G LTE GSM Unlocked (T-Mobile/AT&T/Metro) International Model XT2125-4 (HDMI + Fast Car Charger Bundle, Iridescent Ocean) (Renewed)

Will This Specific Moto G100 Model work on the 5G as well in Canada, in Theory? Besides the 4G LTE

Also, just wondering, When is Canada planning to phase OUT the 3G Network?

I know in the US it's Happening

If in Canada that occurs too, What will happen with PM Network?

Unless PM's Telus HSPA+ 4G/ LTE is the Network and the 3G is not an Issue

Just inquiring

I do hope though, PM can do more with the 4G LTE and eventually 5G, Plus, using the Wi-Fi as a means to call out too, as more options needed to help keep services perfect, and Bills efficient
