Hello Techies
I need to change my phone to a 4G phone,
but all this band and frequency brouhaha dey burst my head.

From my little research, i found out that:-

1. Ntel 4G supports LTE band 3(1800) and band 8(900)
2. MTN 4G supports Band 20(800) i.e. Band 20 Frequency 800
3. Glo 4G supports Band 28 (700)
4. Etisalat 4G supports LTE band 3 (1800)

Therefore to use the above networks on 4G
all i need is to buy a phone that has LTE band 3(1800)
band 8(900), Band 20 (800), Band 28 (700).

The techies in the house abeg correct me if i am wrong?

Suggetions of phones within the range of #40k-#50k
that meet the above criteria is welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

MTN also have band 7(2600MHZ)

4G everywhere but most 4G LTE phones don't support it. I upgraded my MTN SIM to a 4G SIM on my Infinix Note 2 LTE version 2 weeks ago and up till now I haven't seen 4G on my phone o.

fados4sure:

Alcatel pop 4s is the way to go man

Samsung S7 edge
BlackBerry Dtek 50

I guess you didn't read the OP very well. The OP clearly said, phones within the range of 40-50k, and you are mentioning S7 and Dtek50?

Seconded
I'd also like to know if it is a good phone

I shuffle between Ikeja, Anoka and surulere almost everyday and you say it's not in my location!

It seems Alcatel pop 4s is more than #50k.
Since my budget is not enough to get a phone that supports all 4G Bands.
I have decided to relax phone mata for now & instead get a mifi that supports all major 4G bands(Ntel,glo,mtn,etisalat)
& is also affordable.[Around #20k]
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks

Most 4G phones should support all the 4g bands I see above except the rarely used band 28 that GLO is using. I suspect GLO will add one of the more common $G bands as times go on. More than 98% of the phones used in Nigeria today will not have band 28.

Hello
I want to confirm if Glo 4g can work on "Huawei E5573s-320" mifi.
If yes, what is the price range?
I am about to purchase it but need to be sure.
Thanks

The only variant of E5573 that support band 28 is E5573s-606. The rest don't. E5573s-606 is the variant Spectranet use to issue. I don't know if they've phased it out.

I'd have gone for it, but it doesn't support band 20. I'm still looking for a mifi, preferably Huawei, that supports at least band 3, 7, 8, 20 and 28. If anybody finds one, let me know.

I think the Tecno Boom J8 is the phone you're looking for.

Can't work with Glo 4g (Band 28).
This 4g Shit is enough headache.
Glo just came to make matters worse.

1. Huawei E3372h-607
2. ZTE UFi MF970 LTE Cat 6
3. ZTE MF910 4G LTE

Indeed, the ZTE UFi MF970 is the most ideal of them all. Wish i could get my hands on it.

Just found out Huawei E3372h-607 does not support band 20.
i.e Forbids smile 4G network
