With the exception of DirectTV network, you should be fine. Columbia uses bands 4, 7, 38 (DirectTV only) for LTE and the H830 supports 1,2,3,4,5,7,12,20, 29, and 30.

Thanks for the reply. I currently use Claro but could not find what bands they use. Is there a site that lists bands used by carriers in other countries? I googled and I only get area coverage maps but could not find anything on bands used...

Claro uses Band 7

There is a great wiki reference page which outlines bands by carrier and country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Americas
Hope this helps

Canadian service provider Wind Mobile has plans for it:
http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-v20-be-first-phone-compatible-wind-mobiles-lte-network
Found this as well,may have some future benefit/etc..... for US Carriers:
http://www.fiercewireless.com/wirel...or-band-66-combines-its-aws-4-aws-1-and-aws-3
I tried the *#546368#*918#, Field Test, Modem Settings, LTE Band Selection
I see options for Bands:
1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,20,25,28,29,30,40
Some of the bands fail to enable.
Is there some other option to enable/disable to get to Band 66 or is it a collection of bands enabled or ???
Not much more info here either, http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/band-66-disabled-t3491556
Though, this page for LG, www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-H918-Titan-v20, does show it as (is there a H918 and H918 Titan because in my model, it says H918):
GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, LTE Bands 2/4/12/66, Roaming 1/3/5/7/13/20, WCDMA Bands B2/B4, WCDMA Roaming B1/B5
This post says the H915 variant (which I returned since it has a locked bootloader; so much for FREEDOM Mobile) does not show Band 66 either, http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/freedom-mobile-lte-lte-network-t3517501
From Freedom's page regarding their LTE rollout:
Frequency:
• AWS-3 / Band 66 in the Greater Toronto and Vancouver areas, Calgary and Edmonton
• AWS-1 / Band 4 in Eastern Ontario, including Ottawa, Kingston and Peterborough

it's coming as a future firmware upgrade.
Supposed to roll out by January.
It works similar to the Samsung 3 band thing, in which it taps into 3 LTE spots to provide a faster speed, also makes it compatible for people in AWS bands (Wind Mobile / T-mobile)
Oh, good to know then. So, for "Freedom" mobile, only eastern Canada users with Band 7 (2600) phones (and possibly certain plans can get LTE); western Canada users will have to wait for the Band 66 to be activated :/ *sigh*.

I can tell for sure latest update for H915 activated band 66, despite it not showing up in the LTE bands in the modem settings field test menu. If I force the phone to LTE-only mode I can see it trying to connect to B66 LTE in the engineering menu, just cannot connect because I didn't change my plan.

FRD-L04 - Which LTE Bands?

Hi all,
Looking at replacing my Nexus 5X with an Honor 8 from the US (FRD-L04). I split my time between the USA and Australia, and as such I need good band support in both countries.
In the USA, I use T-Mobile which looks as though it'll be fine.
In Australia, I use Telstra. They use the following frequencies:
LTE
Name Interface
B1 (2100) LTE
B3 (1800 +) LTE
B28 (700 APT) LTE
Supported LTE Protocols
Name Generation
LTE 4G
LTE-A 4G
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As well as:
UMTS
Name Interface
B1 (2100) UMTS
B5 (850) UMTS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am a bit confused, because in some places it indicates that the phone does not support the LTE bands in Australia. But according to the HiHonor website, it supports all but one of them.
Any guidance on this? Thanks.
I've posted there details within the forum before, but here you go.
USA Honor 8 radio bands

Hmm, see here is the problem.
According to frequencycheck, L14 supports B1 and 3, but not 28 and L04 supports neither.
But yet according to Honor themselves and even BestBuy, the phone should support everything I need for both Telstra and T-Mobile (except Band 28 which is no big deal for me).
So, which is correct? I'm sure you can see my confusion.

Trust the manufacturer. Honor official site will have correct info
I can confirm FrequencyCheck is incorrect. I can also, however, say I wouldn't want a phone without band 28 in your situation. The lower frequency should have much better coverage.

Band 12 on Model SM-G955F?

I cannot get a definitive answer on this. When I check some sites it shows that this international model SM-G955F has band 12 which is what I need for Volte on T Mobile:
https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/G9Yo5/samsung-sm-g955f-galaxy-s8-plus-td-lte-samsung-dream-2
http://www.phonemore.com/phone/samsung-galaxy-s8-plus-sm-g955f/3234
But on the Amazon site to order the device it does not list Band 12.......
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XYKR7GP
Here is another posting of it and this list no bands....
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-64GB-Unlocked-Phone/dp/B06XZRMCS7/ref=pd_sbs_107_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06Y15D6RP&pd_rd_r=S8FN2DDKWM54QN8JXJ6D&pd_rd_w=5nH47&pd_rd_wg=uVQ72&refRID=S8FN2DDKWM54QN8JXJ6D&th=1
SO, does anyone have this actual model and can actually check the LTE bands available on that model for me? I would greatly appreciate it before I spend that kind of money. I definitely want the Exynos unlocked for ROM, root, etc. If you are nopt sure how to check here is an app I found to check what 4G bands your phone supports...

I do not know if the app I posted will work, but try this method if fails:
If you go in to the service menu by dialling in *#*#7378423#*#* then go to service info then configuration. All the working bands are listed there

The SM-G955F? Has band 12. If you plan on using it on T-Mobile you need to make sure it also supports VOLTE on their network.
I'll be getting mine next week and will try to confirm if it has VOLTE on T-Mobile.

well they usually do if they have band 12. I will be happy when confirmed, either way I will be making the leap, getting rid of the t mobile branded and getting the G955F exynos to have some fun on, lol

According to the FCC listing it supports the following US bands 12, 17, 13, 26, 5, 66, 4, 25, 2, 41 so aside from band 30 it has all the bands needed to work great on AT&T and T-Mobile.
It also has carrier aggregation with US bands with the following combinations:
2+12
4+12
4+17
12+12
66+17
41+41
66+66
and 3 band carrier aggregation at the following bands:
4+12+12
66+12+66
41+41+41
Usually the FCC info is the most accurate!
*#2263#
Will like to know as well
I also looked the options.. this is what i understood..
amazon and other ebay list the International version of ASIA where Band 12 is not listed.. and no Region lock.. you can use any SIM on this..
EU version has Band 12 listed, but it has region lock enabled, so you need EU sim and get it activated by making call for 5 min. then you can put any SIM. but band 30 is not supported (ATT)
i enquired on Clove they listed Band 12 is supported.. whoever have the device can confirm on this.

V10 vs View 10 LTE bands?

I think the main difference between Chinese V10 and European/US View 10 is the LTE bands. Do you know if it's possible to unlock band 20 on the Chinese version?
Can the CMDA be used on verizon?
No. No Verizon or Sprint.
Must have t-mobile or at&t correct?
Yes, and any smaller carrier that depends on their bands.

Before buying an unlocked phone to use on a US GSM network, you need to research the 4G FDD radio bands used by the carrier and make sure the phone you want supports those FDD radio bands. (Verizon users, even when Verizon abandons CDMA in 2019, you won't be able to go out and buy any phone with the correct FDD bands and that supports VoLTE to use on their network. Verizon has made it clear that it will only provision phones that it has tested and certified.) Here's a link with US and Canadian carrier bands. https://www.signalbooster.com/pages/what-are-the-cellular-frequencies-of-cell-phone-carriers-in-usa-canada

Best I can do is recommend you search this page by the carrier in India that you use, it will tell you if you'll get 2G, 3G and LTE with the Honor View 10, TD-LTE BLN-AL10. https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/QePYuJz/huawei-honor-6x-dual-sim-td-lte-bln-al10/india

Frequency bands on Chinese Vs European OP8

Hi team,
It seems OnePlus is showing different frequencies on the 5G band for phones sold in China (IN2010) and Europe (IN2013).
IN2010: Bands 41, 78 & 79
IN2013: Bands 1, 3, 7, 28, 78.
Does anyone who if a Chinese phone originally intended for IN2010 bands are flashed the international ROM IN21BA, are the other bands accessible in Europe . Other bands being, 1,3,7,28 ect.
Or is there a hardware lock?
It's technically programmed into NVRAM, but the publicly found version of QPST doesn't support this device, so I don't know of a way to modify the bands.
1,3,7,28 and 20 are 4g LTE bands in France, so Europe. It's not 5g bands
These bands are presents on the IN2010 model too

Shame, when Europe starts using band 28 on 5G, the Chinese imported phone won't support this band then.
Also i recommend compare 4G and 5G Combinations between China and Europe variant:
China: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2010
Europe: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2013

In France B28 used for 4G LTE for now but i think they will transfer it to 5G like other countries. That will be low band 5G for many countries to build coverage.
