Compatibility

[IsabDenm]

I would like to know if the Samsung Galaxy A20S is compatible with this service?

@IsabDenm 

For best results a phone needs to support B2 and B5 for 3G and bands B4 and B7 for LTE/4G.

@IsabDenm Yes, the phone is compatible with PM. My friend uses the phone with PM, and there was no issue. The database is a bit behind since Samsung A20 is still a quite new.

@IsabDenm Yes, this phone will work with this provider, don't worry and go for it! Welcome to PM.

@IsabDenm It will work, but isn't 4g LTE compatible. You will not get data on 4g LTE and no emergency alerts. You will only to get data in 3g. Welcome to PM. Stay safe. See link.

@IsabDenm I believe it is but you can go to this website and check if it is compatible on the telus network.

You will need your IME# 

Get this by dialing *#06#
