What did I do wrong? I'd like to correct whatever I did wrong so that it won't be auto marked as spam.

I don't know why it got marked. But you got it in here. Clever you. 🙂

This seems to show that it would be fine for 3G here. But not very useful for 4G LTE.

gsmarena agrees.

I see this likely because of the linking of a website that advertises a product.

My 2 cents ....cheap overseas phones are a bad idea. It's a crap shoot between spotty band support, flakey hardware, inexistent warranty and questionable software.

Uh oh, I'm scratching my head again. The link you provided shows different frequency bands to https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09DV1DRDW/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza?th=1 But it seems like the same phone to me.

What is gsmarena? Is it a tool for checking compatibility?

It's just a general website with information about phoen devices. They likely also receive advertising revenue when people visit the website.

It's an excellent reference site.

What site doesn't have ads? Can you say ad-blocker?

@computergeek541

Hmm that's strange because I posted that same website again in one of my replies and it's showing.

@Kristowhy Thank you for the warning, I appreciate it as I know it is very good advice. Without details, I have no choice but must go as cheap as possible.

You are better off with a Moto G Pure or Moto G Play which are frequently on sale for sub $200. Guaranteed band support, warranty, clean Android and no sketchy OS images

Thank you so much for this advice. I will look into it. I thank you again, because honestly I am so clueless.
