Thank you for the positive comments on the new phone compatibility checker. As you may know, we partnered with willmyphonework.net and utilize its extensive catalog of mobile devices. With that said, you’ve highlighted to us that there are devices that are not captured still, and we want to keep track of that here to provide feedback on a regular basis.
Please comment below your phone make and model that wasn’t found on our checker and we’ll be sharing on a monthly basis back to our partners.
Public Mobile/Telus doesn't have a 2g network. Quad band GSM (not used at Public Mobile) and pentaband LTE is irrelevant if it doesnt' have UMTS 850 or 1900MHz (bands 5 or 2) because phone calls won't work. Pentaband LTE doesn't mean anything other than 5 bands (doesn't mean those 5 are good for Public Mobile).
The specification link that you've provided also points to a phone that is virtually unusable at Public Mobile. It absolutely will not work with phone calls (if those specs are accurate), and data and text messaging services will have very poor coverage.
In short, someone should not buy this phone to use at Public Mobile, nor should anyone really purchase it to use on any Canadian carrier.
i have a oukitel k10000 pro from china its not on your list can you put it on your list for me
If you have a version of this device that works for Public Mobile, that's encouraging, but a quick look reveals that there is at least one version of the Oukitel K10000 Pro that does not work at Public Mobile for voice service. Some sellers of this are stating the UMTS frequencies of this phone as being 900MHz and 2100MHz.
That isn't a Galaxy S4. That model number is for an S3. It would be quite something if the checker was missing devices that Telus has sold themselves before.
I'm noticing many people trying to help out by sharing details of devices that they have tested as working on Public Mobile. Unfortunately, the list will never be 100% complete as there are always new devices coming out, some that some people might never even have heard of.
I wanted to add the importance of specifying not only the marketed model name, but also the variant name/version number/exact model number. Simply saying Phonebrand A1 is not always enough. While there are devices with model names that have many different (or even all) versions work at Public Mobile, there are also devices with model names that have versions that do not.
