I was wondering if Tello(A Phone Service) worked with the Le Eco Pro 3. I did the "check your phone" type thing but it didn't show up. I figured since the Le Pro 3 wasn't that popular, it wasn't on their list. Any help would be appreciated.
There are thousands of phone models missing in the Tello list. This doesn't mean that your can't be compatible. They say that you need any phone with CDMA and free from contracts and say that Tello certainly works if your phone is already compatible with the Sprint network and that coverage is guaranteed if there are Sprint phone towers in the area.
Lex 720 is compatible with Sprint CDMA BC1 (1900 PCS) (US for sure), Lex 727 is not (not out-of-the-box!). I don't know more, sorry! Cheers!

Here's the deal. I'm spending the next 12 months in Canada. I want to buy a phone on the marketplace here and use it this year on a month to month deal with Canadian service. They are mostly GSM on the same bands as AT&T. When I return to the US next year I want to be able to use the same phone on sprint. How do I identify phones that work?
They will say "World Phone" or under the specs you will see GSM bands and CDMA bands. were on most CDMA phone you see "CDMA EVDO Rev A xx/xx/xxx/xxx/" only.
EDIT: You were faster typing eck0728
They are called world phones.
As far as I know Verizon and Sprint have HTC devices that has both, CDMA and a SIM card slot for GSM.
Check your preferred models.
What bands do AT&T/Canadian carriers phones use for full 3g?
Thanks gentleman.

Hey guys, I saw this Global edition is coming out, anyone know if it would work straight up on a GSM network? I'm on Rogers in Canada, same netwrok as AT&T and unfortunately GSM android phone selection blows and I've wanted a Droid for ever. Does the Global have a SIM card slot, would it work as a GSM phone or is it strictly designed to work on CDMA and work on GSM from time to time?
Please for the love of god someone tell me it will work as a normal GSM phone, I want a good android phone
Well here in america I know they have the black berrys such as the storm 1 that are gsm and also have verizon "sim cards" in them (yeah, weird I know..) so I want to assume that the phone will be coming with a sim card slot somewhere but honestly I haven't heard much either about the droid 2 we..when I first saw it I had no idea what a "we" droid 2 was lol...neither did google ...hahah

Hahaha thanks man, I'm going to wait till thing gets pushed out finally hopefully someone will tear it apart.
But if anyone else knows anything else please chime in. This could be sweet if it works
Like the global phones of yesteryear (Blackberry devices, a few Windows mobile ones and some feature phones), they come with a VodaFone SIM for use with global roaming. It is SIM-locked (subsidy locked) however and you'll need to unlock it. Verizon routinely does this for regular customers on contract but if you buy the Pro or D2 Global unsubsidized they generally won't and you'll have to unlock it via a third party.
Once it's unlocked: It's tri-band UMTS. I'm not an expert on UMTS frequencies around the globe. I know it'll work in a couple hundred countries outside North America but I have no idea if it'll work at 3G speeds on US or Canadian GSM networks. It'll definitely work for phone calls and 2G data on AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers, etc since it's quad-band GSM - this is how the global BlackBerry devices work. My old Storm 1 is still in use by someone on AT&T and I intend to sell my current unlocked Storm 2 when I finally break down and pick up one of the new global Droids.
Just got a Droid 2 Global. It has a VZW/Vodafone sim in it, no idea if it's SIM Locked(I'm sure it is). Once you get it unlocked, it shouldent be hard to get working with a rogers sim.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/droid-2-global-motorola-nbsp.shtml
states:
# All–Digital, 800/1900, CDMA EVDO rev A
# Quad Band GSM – 850/900/1800/1900MHz
# Tri–Band UMTS/HSPA – 850 /1900/2100MHz
So according to this, if its unlocked, it should work for Rogers or AT&T 3G
Any ideas on how to get it unlocked ?
i'm sure a third party company can unlock it like how the storm 1s were unlocked, just have to wait and see since it was barely released from vzw.
I got my D2 Global SIM unlocked yesterday. Called VZW Global Support (1-800-711-8300) and they gave me the code (once you put in a non-VZW SIM, it will automatically ask you for the code.) As long as your line has been active for at least 6 months with no late payments, they will hook you up.
HOWEVER, it appears there may be more to the unlocking process. When I did a GSM network scan, no networks showed up. Others on various forums have been reporting the same issue in the last day or so. Normally when you put in a SIM into an unlocked GSM phone, you will see the roaming network options.
It's possible that they have blocked US GSM networks and foreign networks will work fine, but I'm hoping others can shed some light on the issue.

Not quite. If you look at the D2G user guide on the Motorola website, it says on page 12: "DROID2 Global by Motorola switches effortlessly between CDMA, GSM 900, GSM 1800, and UMTS 2100 networks, so you can make calls in over 200 countries worldwide."
So it seems that VZW has restricted use of the 850/1900 MHz GSM/UMTS bands, even though the device has the hardware to support them. Most foreign networks use 900/1800 GSM and 2100 UMTS but AT&T/T-Mobile use 850/1900, which is why no one has had any success with them yet.
Hopefully someone can figure out a workaround.
Yes - hopefully someone can find a workaround for this. The same is true for the Droid Pro in that even once the phone is unlocked it will not work on ATT networks.
Hey,
I'm not very familiar with how 4G compatibility works on phones but I really want to switch over to this phone. Currently I'm on a 35/2month non contract DATA ONLY plan from Verizon. I see the Zenfone 3 Deluxe Special lists only GSM bands and a bunch of 4G bands. Since I'm on a data only plan and it seems to support the verizon 4g bands (from what I checked/could understand) do you think this setup would work for me? If not does anyone know a similar data only offer from a GSM provider in the US?
Thank you,
Daniel Smith
Here's a simple question that gets shockingly complicated.
I have a xt1644 on AT&T, and have my previous phone (zenfone 2) on T-Mobile.
When I used the zenfone 2 on AT&T I could never get an LTE signal, but when using the zenfone on Tmobile i get LTE all the time.
On AT&T, my zenfone said it was in HSPA mode. Now my MG4+ also shows in HSPA.
Interesting sidenote. I travel across the country, and it doesn't matter what market I am in, same results across carriers (no lte on AT&T, but get it on Tmobile.)
Is there any way to figure out what bands which carriers are using, and perhaps add the LTE band for AT&T to my XT1644 radios???
Yes, even I am confused.. but that's it in a nutshell.
Ongoing question: any good roms out of testing for US/xt1644??
Mark
I am using the Cellmapper app. If you are rooted, it can read the LTE band frequency directly from the Qualcomm radio.
I have used the XT1644 with both metroPCS (T-Mobile) and now Cricket wireless (AT&T) and the latest has more consistent LTE connection.
We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the ASUS ROG Phone II's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.
What I'd like to know since it's related to the subject is does anyone think it will work on Verizon given it has most of the bands Verizon needs. I'm cautious about this. Especially with the tencent version because for example, I bought the Razer phone 2 and it was compatible with their imei system, but would not give me more than a random interval of 2sec data, which making a call would kill said data.
I use att but I'd really like to buy the rog 2 and use it on Verizon if I can..
More info if it'll have bands 66 and 71; if VoLTE is supported, if Wifi Calling is supported would be great. Getting conflicting info.
I have the TEncent edition. Is there any app I could use to find out what LTE bands the phone could support?

I hope they add Band 71. My Razer Phone 2 sports it:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
WCDMA: 1/2/3/4/5/8
FDD-LTE: 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/14/17/18/19/20/26/28/29/30/32/66/71
TDD LTE: 38/39/40/41
TD-SCDMA: 34/39
LAA: 46
4x4 MIMO: 1/2/3/4/7/30/38/66

This does not currently work with Verizon because the IMEIs are "not certified for use on their network". Asus is probably not going to pay to certify the China model so they might never work.
cellular band tencent version 128 amd 512
does the tencent 128 has a different cellular band with its 512 variant? im curious about it since i cant find any full phone scpecification and comparison of those variants from tencent.

I wish that I could cleanly translate their manual. It has specific volte comments in it bc even though it's in Chinese, some phrases like volte are English.

Description: The Nano SIM card slot supports GSM / GPRS / EDGE, WCDMA / HSPA + / DC-HSPA +, FDD-LTE and TD-LTE DSDV network bandwidth. Two Nano SIM cards can simultaneously standby VOLTE 4G call service, but cannot connect two FDD-LTE and TD-LTE mobile data at the same time. Please ask your service operator if your region can support DSDV warnings! Do not use sharp tools or solvents to avoid damage to your phone. ROG Phone (ASUS_1001DA / ASUS_1001DB) requires a SIM card of Nano SIM size, please ask your service carrier. If you cut your SIM card yourself, it may cause a SIM card list.
I don't understand the VoLTE comment. Is that provided on different bands in China than here in the states? Hence why it would be my work here but will in the China?
Bummer, the Asus Rog Phone 2 USA version (ZS660KL-S855P-12G512G-BK) is listed on B&H and still has the same crappy bands listed as the Tencent version.
That means no Verizon, and T-Mobile will not have Band 71 so you won't get the full speeds there either.

On the ASUS website the US version is listed as having bands 12 and 66. Those two bands are missing on the Tencent Version. The only missing band on the US release is band 71.
From what I've researched, T-Mobile only uses band 71 in rural areas and is reserving band 71 for 5G. Bands 12 and 66 might just be enough.
I was bummed after hearing no band 71 - which my Razer Phone 2 has - then found out that the place I go regularly in the mountains doesn't use band 71. Must just be my iPhone XS (which has band 71 and an Intel modem) is worse than the RP2.

Wait.. I thought Tencent version has band 66?
Are you getting band 66 somehow? I have the tencent version and don't receive band 12 or 66. I also looked online again and don't see any mention of band 66.
I think the CN version did not have band 66. The USA version does.
hello any one notice beter reception with phone over older phone you had?

I put in my Verizon sim and it registered with 4G+ data worked, called tech support and they put in a form to add the IMEI to the whitelist database.

That is not correct, I contacted Verizon Tier 2 support yesterday after inserting my Verizon sim, it registered on the Network and gave me a 4G+ data signal.
They indicated after giving them my IMEI that it registered on the network and they submitted a form to add it to the database. The process takes about 3 business days.
NA edition on Project Fi / T-Mobile. 2 out of 3 incoming calls I've had today have NOT been delivered successfully to my phone. On one it came through to my computer (gmail / hangouts) and on the other I didn't know until I got the voicemail. My phone didn't ring and shows no missed calls!
Might have to try a different carrier. What US carrier works best with this phone? I really want to keep it!
Edit - Today (the next day) was better. 4 / 4 got through to me. Mysterious!

It was correct when I tried, back when there was only the Tencent version of the phone. Is yours the Tencent one or international or US?

Did you make sure you don't have Google Voice spam filtering turned on? When I was getting incoming calls from Apple, Google was blocking them all as spam, which caused them to ring in Hangouts on my PC but not on the phone, same as you. See if the numbers show in the voice.google.com call log and if so you can flag them as "not spam" to see if that fixes it.
