Yes PM will work with that brand of smartphone, if you have the compatible model of phone though.

@Lehaha

Essentially, one made for the North American market will be fine.

Don't buy a model designed for the Eastern Hemisphere. Some folks have found out the hard way that good deal from overseas isn't so good when one tries to use it here.

@Lehaha it is not the brand. It is the band frequency.

@Lehaha give us the exact model and we can check for you

generally speaking, if it is a phone that was sold in Canada, YES.

if it is a phone you got in Asia or other countries, then maybe not

Re: Cell phone type

Lehaha — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 02:18:49 GMT

Where I can check the band?

Re: Cell phone type

softech — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 02:21:24 GMT

@Lehaha

PM uses these bands

for your phone, best is to check the product website for specification.

But you need to get the exact model number Remember, many model has different sub-model for regional variants So, you need to konw the exact model/sub-model and research about it

of course, you can go to your phone About screen, and paste your model here. We can try to help

Even Asian branded phones these days are compatible. In fact most current phones with the dual SIM slots pack every band under the sun in the phones, having both FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE.

What model is your Huawei phone?

GSM Arena may be one way to look up phone specs. You might find the phone model number under a menu, such as, settings -> about phone/device. The web site does a good job to list the supported signal bands and frequencies under the network section for the device.
