your model will not work at all on T-mobile LTE (which needs band 2, 4, 12)
your model will only get 3G in refarmed 1900mhz areas
your model will get 2G/ EDGE
you should return/sell that model, and get another model (wait for D6616 official model with band 12 / wifi callin gsupport), or get D6603/D6633/D6643

Hi All,
Is there any possible way to enable an LTE band 40 on the Galaxy S6 G92F?
My carrier is using band 40 and currently the Galaxy S6 G92F does not have LTE Band 40. Can it be enable or added?
Your assistance is appreciated

MetroPCS is a US prepaid wireless service offered by T-Mobile US. MetroPCS uses T-Mobile US's GSM (1900MHz), a combination of UMTS/HSPA+(850MHz/1900MHz) and their 4G LTE networks.
For UMTS (3G) MetroPCS works on bands 2 and 4. UMTS B2(1900 PCS) and B4(1700/2100 AWS 1).
For LTE (4G) MetroPCS works on bands 2, 4, 12, 66 and 71. LTE B2(1900 PCS), B4(1700/2100 AWS 1), B12(700 ac), B66(1700/2100) and B71(600).
Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955FD supports all these UMTS/LTE bands except the B71(600) band. Usually GSM operators use higher frequency bands like the 2100/1900 MHz bands and rarely they use the lower frequency bands like the 700/600 MHz bands. So your G955FD will work flawlessly on 3G/4G MetroPCS network.
You can use LTE Discovery app from Google play store to check your band online while using your mobile. You get the band number on the Notification bar real time.

Thank you for this very detailed post! I do have one more question though. Do I need to flash any CSC? It seems like I was getting much better connection on my Nexus 6P than I am on this phone right now.
I'm running Renovate ICE 14.1 right now and I'm wondering if its possible to flash Snapdragon CSC on Exynos variants. I have tried it before on completely stock rom with no luck, but I have seen people say its okay to flash Snapdragon CSC on the Exynos variant of this device. Once again I really appreciate all this information <3
Hello I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime, this phone only support the band UMTS 850/1700/1900MHz in 3G and in
(4G) LTE LTE 700 (B12) LTE 850 (B5) LTE 1700/2100 (B4) LTE 1900 (B2). And in Cuba 3G only work on 900MHz and 4G on 1800MHz. I have locking for methods to change this frequencies and I was wondering ?what happen if I use a modem.bin from other J3 Prime from other carrier that work on this frecuencies and I flash it on this phone sm-J327t1 using Odin? I do not have experience doing this process. I need help with this, anyone who can contribute is great.Thanks.
Only for curiosity if I open this menu *#2263# I can change the 4g band if I select 3 that is 1800 y works on 4g but only about 4s.
