Can anyone make sense of this conversation I had with u.s. cellular?

Hello. Does the LG K8 prepaid phone come unlocked? domestically or internationally or both or none? Thanks.
The that device is unlocked but it isn't a world phone and it can only be used in the United States. ^Andria
Hi thanks for that reply. But in saying that if it is unlocked and it is used overseas on a 2g or 3g or 4g band that the phone supports it should work?
It's unlocked for use with another U.S. service provider but it can't be used abroad because it doesn't have world phone capability. ^Andria
What I can't figure out is does she mean its domestically unlocked but internationally locked? ( that wouldn't make sense would it?)
Or is she clueless or trying to bs me in how I said about the frequencies?
Lol.

She means it doesnt have the bands that support overseas countries.

From gsmarena lg k8 bands:
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800)
In my country we have:
2g: 900/1800
3g: 850/2100
4g: band 3 & 7
So it should work right?

It should

Oneplus 3 N. America model utilizes CDMA...

Anyone else notice the GSM Arena band listings for the OnePlus 3 states CDMA for the North America model? Anyone planning on using this phone for a carrier on a CDMA network, what are your thoughts?

There's no CDMA.

Is there a source? Personally I use AT&T, and I see if it is true what is showing, then it is 3g CDMA data only, but you say just no. Trying to help others who may be interested to know this what they may be getting...

According to the OnePlus website it does include CDMA, but it won't work on LTE on Sprint or Verizon. It does not have any of Sprint's LTE bands and does not have Verizon's main LTE band, and neither carrier would activate it because of that.

My guess is it is possibly for abroad CDMA then.

Mi Max 3G and 4G coverage in Europe

It's one thing I've totally neglected when looking for "alternative" smartphones, and I'm also out of the loop as per current 3G and 4G bands in use... Anyway, how well does Mi Max (or for that matter, any other "unofficial" phone) work on European 3G and 4G networks? I understand most carriers are on 2100 MHz for 4G, but they also use 800 or 900 Mhz. And if I check the specs on GSMarena.com it seems Mi Max supports even less 4G bands than Redmi Note 3:
LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500) for Mi Max
LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 28(700), 40(2300) - Redmi Note 3 "special edition"
LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500) - Redmi Note 3 "India edition" (not really sure which one is distributed to Europe)
LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 38(2600), 40(2300) - OnePlus3 "global"
Which bands are relevant across the EU/EEA countries?

i have the helium version and 3G/4G works flawlessly with different operators in Germany, Poland and Netherlands (countries i am in regularily).
you can also take a look at: http://willmyphonework.net/
select device, select country, select operator - see what bands will work for the device.

I'm in Sweden and here the absence of band 8 and 20 is an issue if you are out of big towns more in the countryside. Then you lose 4G. Also inside of buildings it also seems to lose 4G at times. Other than that data works fine. I don't need 4G at all times personally and on some phones I even set 3G-only.

is there a difference in the hardware between the ordinary and "international" versions of this phone?

I ask because I want the model with 4GB of RAM; I don't care about its colour.
I would hope for LTE 800MHz and LTE 2600MHz as well as other bands which are the "official" LTE bands, even though some operators here in the UK are also using LTE on 1800MHz. It's becoming as big a mess as the USA's frequency bands!

Using sprint galaxy s6 in different country with different network

Hi everyone
I am looking forward to buy a sprint version galaxy s6 which has been unlocked, imported and being sold by someone else. Now the question i want to ask is whether this will work with 4g network in my country (jio 4g)with data and Volte support. The seller tried the sim card in it and it shows full network bars but according to him data and call is not working. Is it something limited to sprint version phones? Should i buy it?

all depends on what carrier you wish to use the phone on and what network the carrier operates on. Do a Google search for the network technology your carrier uses and if it is on the list below you should be fine as long as the phone is definitely SIM network Unlocked and the IMEI is not Blacklisted.

Look cool but disappointed

Sorry I put this in wrong thread. Should be in Question thread.
