Galaxy A11 A115W (Canada) compatibility

[RDamm]

Hello,

I just bought a Galaxy A11 (A115W). This phone is not on the list of PM compatible phones and I want to know why?

You gotta know this is intentional by the big providers in cahoots with the manufacturers to muddy and confuse the waters for consumers and also to control the market. Corporations fptpftqtpsptspt!

Yeah back in July when I was searching for just the right phone I remember with a smile gpixel4 calling it the unicorn. True dat.

The compatibility checker seems so out of date that it is becoming pretty much useless.  My preference is to seek out the phone specs from the oem or reputable third party sites like gsmarena and then comparing it to the wiki information on the Telus network.

Was it ever up-to-date? There are just too many phones to have them all in a single database. There's also the problems with users possibly seeing a model name mentioned in the compatibility checker (any compatibility checker) but failing failing to realize that there could be different versions, some which might not be compatible.

Hi @RDamm ,

There are many models not on the compatibility list shown here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/ns/get-started

I like using this website to check: https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/CA
