Phone & Bands - Will This Work in Nova Scotia with PM ?

[JimgB]

Found the phone I've wanted, but, it's an "international" type phone out of China.

They sent these bands/frequencies that their phone works on.

Will this work with PM in Nova Scotia ?

Frequency:

2G GSM(3/8)

3G WCDMA(BAND1/5/8)

4G FDD(BAND1/B3/B5/B7/B8)

4G TDD(B38/B39/B40/B41)

Thank you for any help.

Supposedly they don't work in the USA, only certain spots, but Canada is supposed to be ok.

These days, you're going to be hard pressed to fnd much that isn't full touchscreen.  Please remember that Public Mobiel is very restrictive about the devices that it allows to use VoLTE.  I would not even consider any device that does work with VoLTE to use at Public Mobile.  For the most part, this means devices that are sold by carriers in Canada or at least sold as unlocked and were intended for sale in the Canadian market at other retailers (other than cell phone carrier stores).

Many thanks

Having VoLTE capability is a good thing.  The phoen that you were looking at won't be able to use the function.  That's not a phone that should be purchased to use at Public Mobile.  Please select a different phone device model.

This phone might work in some places that you go, but I strongly advise against purchasing this phone.   The lack of band 2 on HSPA means that you will almost certainly not get any voice/phone call service in many places.  Also, this phone is going to work on VoLTE at Public Mobile.  On the LTE network, band 2 and  band 4 are important.  In short, this is a bad choice to try to use at Public Mobile.

Forgot to say, I want 4G to work.
