Is Asus Zenphone 2 (ZE551KL) compatible.

My phones IMEI is listed as not found with the Public Mobile checker.

I read here that as long as the network frequencies match the ones used by Public mobile, but I want to check that the Asus Zenphone 2 (ZE551KL) shown here is compatible before I sign up. 

The Zenphone 2 uses these frequencies: 

3G :

WCDMA :(US version)
850MHz(5)/900MHz(8)/1700MHz/1900MHz(2) /2100MHz(1)

4G :
LTE Bands: (US version)
2100MHz(1)/1900MHz(2)/1800MHz(3)/1700MHz AWS(4)/850MHz(5)/2600MHz(7)/900MHz(8)/700MHz(17)/800MHz(20)
SIM1 Support2G/3G/4G
SIM2 Support2G/3G/4G

Will my phone work with first mobile?

i ran my IMEI and it detects this phone on the PM website.  This phone has 2 IMEI because this phone is dual simed.   only SIM 1 can be used for data.  SIM 2 is for voice

Weird that they only list half of the AWS band 4 frequency for LTE... they should list both 1700 and 2100 (usually "1700/2100") for AWS.  But it sounds like you should be fine, which was my understanding previously as well.

As a few others mentioned it does work. I also own this phone and can say it's 100% fine.

www.willmyphonework.net is an excellent reference site to check phone compatibility.  

PM operates on 850 and 1900 for 3G and LTE band 4 (1700/2100) plus the band 17 (700) for LTE-a is being rolled out in some areas.

Hi @deereb!

Looking at the band frequencies you have posted, YES this phone is compatible with PM.

It needs to be unlocked.  Hope this helps.
