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.

You no sabi English? The article says CONFIRMED to use 4G LTE. Its the first confirmed to work. Tecno users need not go for other brands again. Because, the new Phantom has got what it takes. Premium features.

Before! In 4G enabled areas too.

If it Walks like a Duck, Looks Like A Duck and Quacks Like A Duck, Definitely It Is a Duck


Give a Pig Good Name, Dress It in a Nice Looking Suit and Place It in a Cool Looking Environment in Banana Island. Bro. Na Still Pig Character Hin Go Exhibit.

I can't do this argument again.wen u gat d phantom 5 put ur mtn,airtel,glo or etisalat sim and start using ur spiritual non exixtent lte.

This is good news . had been anticipating the DAY I will be able to use my spectranet on mobile phone. no more to mobile networks cheating with expensive internet.

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.

OK didn't see that.but if its smile then its limited to only browsing.and will probably only function in some states.plus there are many other late smart phones in Nigeria that can use smile lte

Impressive. So sweet. Top notch. But this price mehn. Only for the rich. The broke ones shouldnt come out and start dissing this mighty giant oo. If your money no reach go buy Camon

Nice one

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.

Gbam! Exactly. I bet this could cause 4G networks to start selling Sims apart from modems

Youngpo413:

Fresh one. TECNO dey try. God sef dey their back.

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

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.

Yes ooo. The 4G stuff is very cool.

hahaha MTN will have your head for this post. The 4G is cool though
