@RezaT it a 3g phone, has no LTE capability. It will work for talking, texting and mms texting.  And you will get access to data where there are 3g bands available. Welcome to the community. Stay safe.

There's this link on the forums of the rugby 2 from last year. Someone trying to set up  APN settings for the phone so I guess it works.
