Alas! 4G Confirmed To Work On Tecno Phantom 5 by Cerebrum(m): 11:55am On Sep 17, 2015 |
So earlier today on twitter, I saw a tweet that the new Phantom 5 works the 4G network effectively, because Smile (pun intended). I was shocked to see someone cut his Sim and try such. Amazeballz. Really looks like Tecno has upped their game. Doesn't look anything like a joking sturvz. Here's what Mr. Mobility says on trying it out. * * * Yesterday, it occurred to me that since the new TECNO Phantom 5 flagship is both 4G/LTE and Dual SIM, it would be great to put my Smile 4G SIM in it and not have to carry a separate mifi device around with me. You see, I love to travel light. The question was whether or not the Phantom 5 supported Smile’s LTE band. Well, you know how we get excited here at MobilityArena.com when we get an opportunity to experiment. So, I set my heart to find out. Today, I cut my Smile SIM into microSIM size, then put it into the Phantom alongside my Glo SIM. The phone immediately recognised both SIMs and asked me to pick which SIM would serve for calls, which for SMS, and which for data. I picked Glo for the first two and Smile for the last. Next, I went to Mobile Networks and pegged the Smile SIM to 4G Only. Then, I setup an APN for Smile (I named it “Smile 4G”), as follows: APN Name: internet Password: Nil (No password needed) Proxy : Nil (No proxy needed) IP Version: IPv4 I then selected that APN, and thereafter turned on mobile data. *drum roll* The 4G icon popped up in the notification bar at the top of the phone and I was connected at broadband speeds immediately. And I, Mister Mobility, lived happily ever after. To God be the glory. * * * God knows I'ld get this device, only to provoke my MTN and Airtel brothers. Yeah! I know, I'm Vain.

What are you insinuating bro... did he tell you that Mtn Airtel, Glo or Etisalat has a working 4G LTE network he was specific with smile which is one of the 4G LTE network provider we have. davthom: |

davthom: Why so slow? How much proof do you require? It works with Sims like Smile, spectranet, swift. Abi you don't know Smile ni? One Sim allows for 4G network (confirmed to work on PT 5) and the other allows for 3G networks like MTN, airtel, Etisalat and Co. Hian. |
Re: Alas! 4G Confirmed To Work On Tecno Phantom 5 by Cerebrum(m): 7:00pm On Sep 18, 2015 |
omoalajah: Gbam! Exactly. I bet this could cause 4G networks to start selling Sims apart from modems |

Re: Alas! 4G Confirmed To Work On Tecno Phantom 5 by Nobody: 8:36pm On Sep 18, 2015 |
Cerebrum:you shed read d comment were I wrote lte sims like smile and others won't be able to make calls and send SMS.if you are phone with that and just want to use it as your browsing sim the prob lem then becomes that lte in smart,spectra net are limited to 2 or 3 states out of 36 states |
Re: Alas! 4G Confirmed To Work On Tecno Phantom 5 by Cerebrum(m): 11:30pm On Sep 18, 2015 |
davthom: Exactly. We all know LTE sims haven't made calls and SMS available in the country. We are only advocating for powerful top notch mobile internet speed, and that's now available. This could very well suggest the call and SMS idea to these companies. Yeah! Spectranet seeing this development could very well increase their bandwidth. |
