If you aren't sure if your device supports band 28/700mhz, send 4G to 400 using a glo sim. 1 Like |

eraly: Thanks for that screenshot. That means I can use all apart from Smile which is on Band 20 (I don't care sef) I searched for 4G networks in Ojodu, Lagos 2 days ago and I saw MTN 4G and one unnamed network like that (something like 62***) My phone supports Band 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41. |

I am thinking this is a deliberate strategy by Glo. To use a very scarce band so that their extremely cheap 4G plans can't be used. Meanwhile they will have it on record that they have rolled out 4G LTE service in the country. 2 Likes |

GLO just rushed their LTE , they are not really ready. What NTel did is called refirming of the 900 and 1800mhz band to roll out LTE. The only opertaor with LTE on mobile with true LTE coverage is MTN. They are the only one that bidded for the 2600 band that u will find on most mobiles. MTN LTE bands is 800 and 2600 bands and they have more than 1000 sites already. If u really want to use LTE without hassles, better use MTN. 4 Likes |

rman: Hmmm.....this is not accurate ntel did not refarm , they deployed 4G technology on their allocated freq spectrum. Any operator can deploy any technology on their freq spectrum. MTN Had bought the Visafone 800Mhz spectrum to deploy LTE but for NCC interventions, that is why they rushed to deploy on the 2600Mhz band 2600Mhz spectrum that MTN deployed is not good for indoor coverage, because of poor wall penetration of high frequency bands. So essentially all the Operators SMILE, Spectranet, GLO , ntel and MTN are all INDEED 4G LTE. The only difference is the band, on which it is deployed on. If you want us to discuss the advantages of each band, then we can discuss further 4 Likes |

this is definitely not true. for the record, i will say that glo az always given data at the cheapest rate and they wont stop doing that. the prices of the 4g lte shows that all dey aim is convenience. alll hail glo the grandmaster of data. timbros: 1 Like |

rman: While i agree with you 100% on the 1800 and 900 being GSM bands, what i am essentially saying is that LTE can be deployed on ANY band. Ntel is using it's 1800 and 900 for LTE, while GLO,MTN ,Etisalat, Airtel are using theirs for 2G/3G; ( Etisalat that is presently refarming 5Mhz out of their 15Mhz on their 1800 Spectrum to deploy LTE ; trial will commence in Lagos soon) 2 Likes |

dustmalik: My brother Glo is not ready for business yet. I was at their center today to activate mine, after doing all the necessary stuff, I checked their menu, only to discover that the supported phones are just very few and expensive. No Tecno, Gionee, infinix, etc. HTC M9 upward is supported, galaxy s6 upward is on the list. IPhone 6 upward is on the list too. HTC M8, Galaxy S5, Note 4, iPhone 5 are not there. And I ask the lady the need for this their so called 4G When most of the 4G enabled phones Nigerians are using are not supported? *modified* Glo is doomed already if they dont reverse this highly ridiculous 4G band. 28(700mhz). what nonsense 4G that almost anyone cant use? so you must own a galaxy s7 iphone 6+ htc M10 to use this adultrated 4G? little wonder nobody heard about it prior to its release. glo is very silly on this one 5 Likes |
