before i buying a Rino3 Pro 5.8 I confirmed with PM that it was compatible. I was told it was.
So bought the phone, bought the sim card and paid for a plan. I cannot connect.
I printed out the chat and I saw that the PM chat guy had checked on Reno3 Pro 5.8 not Rino3 Pro 5.8. So my question is will this Rino3 Pro 5.8 work on the PM network?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Third party resellers can use a store like Walmart that has a good reputation and get away with dumping their products.
The store's reputation is only as high as the people that they have selling for them.
unless they give a full refund.

@Girpee if Walmart sells it in their store(not online), then it should work.
*I just looked it up on Walmart's website. it's being sold through a third party seller. I don't think you will receive a full refund if it doesn't work.

thanks a lot for your feedback..it makes you wonder why walmart would sell this.

It seems to be a pretty obscure phone. Alibaba suggested it had 3G WCDMA 850. That's one of the two minimum required frequencies for PM. Although even there maybe it could say UMTS.
I don't think the phone will work here.

thanks for your reply..no, its not on the list. I see that now. I took the information from PM chat guy as being accurate. First mistake.

@Girpee I would have to suggest purchasing a phone that's known to work in Canada. what is your budget on a new device?

According to https://shopee.ph/Rino3-pro-mobile-phone-5.8-Inch-Smartphone-3G-Network-4GB-RAM-64GB-ROM-Mobilephone... , the Rino3 Pro 5.8 should work as they list the network types as "Frequency: GSM850/900/1800/1900MHz, 3G: WCDMA850/1900/2100MHz". However, I have no way to check the accuracy of that website, and don't have much confidence in that information as it also says that the screen size is only 5.0 inches.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it. Check the site below to see the list of compatible devices:
