And it's working with your Glo 4g!?

I haven't tried glo on my phone yt cos d sim is a nano sim.

wolfenstein:

Make I burst ur bubbles small, that's my phone

That's an AT&T branded device that displays 4G when you're using 3G. Airtel doesn't even have 4G yet

haven't tried it but wen I do will let u guys know

dustmalik:

Your phone is an at&t variant, hence why it's displaying 4G instead of H or H+. At&t coin its 3.75 as 4G, for marketing purpose.

Your device doesn't support any of our network LTE bands. Here is your device bands - LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 17(700)

Yeah. Those are all USA LTE bands. Slight correction though, I am an AT&T customer. In the USA on AT&T, if your phone displays 4G or LTE, it means you are connected to their LTE network. The international phones, like my ASUS Zenfone 2 displays 4G when on the LTE network. Phones sold by AT&T proper will actually show LTE. I have several phones on AT&T so, I know this for sure.

Reediano:


Except this site is giving me a wrong info

Yea, check it from Tecno official page and see

Reediano:


None of those three phones is supported...

BTW... It's Lenovo p1 m not Lenovo pm 1

Do your research before you spill man... Am using Lenovo A7600 and it is 4g enabled

According to GSMArena, that phone is NOT 4G enabled - http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_a10_70_a7600-6282.php

It's very easy to check what band your device supports yourself. Just go to GSMArena and type you phone model in there. It's the most authoritative website as far as phone specs are concerned.

Also, if you are already connected to LTE, or of your phone is showing 4G, and you are not sure if it's "real", Android users can download "LTE Discovery" or "Signal Check". These apps will tell you if you are connected to LTE or not, and what band you are actually connected to. Depending on where I am at, and the time of the day, my zenfone 2 shows between bands 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), and 17(700) when I check via any of these 2 apps.

henryobinna:
ok,
3G is the basic H is 3.5G and H+ I think is 3.75G

that's something like their hierarchy. 3G is less than H which is less than H+.

that means more phones would support 3G and/or H than would support H+.

I once used a phone that the highest I could get was H and no H+.

I concur

Reediano:


Before telc. Operators in Nigeria upgraded from 3G to 3.75G, most China Smartphones designed for Nigeria were designed for only 3G.... But they had to upgrade to the H+ later on.

So don't be surprised if you grab some old China android phone and there is no H+

I concur on this also

This Glo 4G is something else... I got their sim today, later sent a text to 4G to 400 to confirm. I was told my sim is 4G ready but need to change my phone... I'm using IPhone 6... I guess I'll have to stick with MTN

Femmywilliams:

Bros E neva reach fight na ...


Btw... Why don't you insert a Glo 4g sim inside your phone and try enabling 4g

Gsm arena isn't always right.

dustmalik:

There are actually diff variant of that device for diff regions..... And they all don't support same band

This is very common among top Brands like Samsung, iPhone etc.

Hope you have updated to iOS 10

Reediano:
4G LTE network is currently dominating the Nigeria telecom and while most network providers are transmitting with popular frequency band like band 3(1800MHz), 7(2600MHz) and 8(900), Glo on the other hand have decided to settle for frequency band 28(700) which is not supported by most affordable 4g smartphones in Nigeria. which means even if you own a 4g smartphone, there is still a great chance that it won't work with the Glo 4g network.

So if you happen to be a Glo user, one of those you will always have in mind when searching for a 4g smartphone is to look out for the one that will be compatible with the network band. So below is the full list of 4g Smartphones that supports band 28(700) and will definitely work with the Glo 4g network.

Yea ... You are right... But that model us actually region based

dustmalik:

Gsm arena isn't always right.

But they still retain the no 1 position

There are different versions for different regions. Yours just happens to be for the region that does not need that band 28.

Compared to all the other sites out there, GSM Arena is the most authoritative and accurate.

It does not support 28(700) band

You are welcome sir

Please can someone confirm that this Glo mifi is E5377 and it is easily unlocked?

Seems to support all 4G networks. MTN, GLO, Ntel, Spectranet, Swift

it has bands 7(2600), 28(700), 3(1800) and 40 (2300).

Thank you.

I'm thinking of getting the 4G LTE Mifi, but I'm still not sure if it's worth it, given that it costs 25k, and knowing how slow Glo is on 3G. What is your experience so far? Is it really fast on 4G?
