Hello, I am about to move up to Canada(Toronto specifically) and I want to figure out if my phone will work with the needed frequencies. I plan on getting a simcard and using just the data option.
This is the phone that I have but I have had seen contradicting information regarding the frequencies.
Instead of trusting this. I downloaded Mobileuncle MTK and use the band mode to take a look at the bands that are on my phone:
Does this look like this would work for me? Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.

Your phone will work with any network in Canada for both voice and data, but Public Mobile is great for reception and value.

How is the camera and display? Is the camera good in low light and is the display sharp and colors accurate?
Thanks.

Well, Ive had the phone since April and I really like it. I live in the US and I have a wifi hotspot so I hadnt bothered with a sim card. I do really enjoy it so far. I had a Note 2 when I lived in Korea and when that I broke I decided to give this chinese phone a try. It has a little more weight then my note 2(I dont mind) but feels very solid and looks nice. My only real complaint is the speakers are a little low. When talking on the phone(I use hangouts for US and Fongo for Canada) I have no complaints. If the Sim works from PM everything will be perfect for me.

@jsphonorio And let us know how the phone is.. like in a mini-review because it seems like a really good phone for the price (I'm assuming it's USD I'm looking at).
Thanks.

UMTS at 850 and 1900, LTE on bands 2, 4, 7, yep you're golden. I don't think Telus uses 17....actually they may be. The primary band is 4. 2 and 7 are defintiely used in some areas but 4 is the main one everywhere LTE is available.
Welcome to the community, @jsphonorio!
EDIT: @imm1304 and @ckl beat me to the punch by minutes. Ah well. Welcome anyway! 🙂

From the pictures, it looks like it will work. PM uses band 4 LTE off the top of my head.
BTW, that looks like a nice phone.

@jsphonorio, Hello from Toronto!
Welcome to Toronto and PM 🙂
The frequencies needed for PM are WCDMA: 850 and 1900. 4G/LTE: Mainly Band 4 (1700/2100), also band 2, 7, 17 in some regions.
From the attached images, I can see that your phone looks fully compatible with PM. Make sure you unlock your phone. Fell free to post here again with any questions.
