For a network like MTN, Glo, Etisalat, Ntel etc 4G LTE to work on a particular phone, that phone must support it's band and frequency, different networks have different bands and this makes it hard for users to get the right phone that would support all the 4G bands.
A device is 4G compatible does not mean it would work with any 4G Network, There are some Technical terms that determines a device's compatibility with a 4G Network, These Terms are what you would understand now and you should then be able to pick out the 4g Network(s) your device supports.

Term 1; BAND
Every network operates on a particular Band although multiple networks can operate on the same Band, Now your Device should support a particular Band that matches with the band that the 4G network you wish to use operates on in order for it to work.

That is to say- A device that Supports Band 3 and 7 would not be compatible with a 4G network that uses Band 20, And so would a 4G network that uses Band 3 not work on a Device that supports Band 7 and 20, Hope you've Understood?

Term 2; FREQUENCY
Has the same study as Bands as they both work together, Your Device should support your 4G Networks frequency for it to work.
Nevertheless, If your device supports your Networks Band then the rest assured that it would surely work. That is to say - If your Device supports Band 3 and your 4G network runs on Band 3 then you shouldn't bother checking the frequency cause it would still match.


MTN 4G LTE Frequency: 2600mhz and 800mhz
Band: 7 and 20
ETISALAT 4G LTE Frequency: 1800mhz
Band: 3
GLO 4G LTE Frequency: 700mhz
Band: 28
AIRTEL 4G LTE Frequency ?
Band?
NTEL 4G LTE Frequency: 900mhz and 1800mhz
Band 8 and 3
SMILE 4G LTE Frequency: 800mhz
Band: 20
SPECTRANET 4G LTE Frequency: 2300mhz
Band: 40
INTER C Frequency: 800mhz
Band: 20


Those are the bands and frequencies for all the 4g networks in Nigeria, all you have to do is check the operator your phone supports it's Band and then get it to enjoy 4G Internet Speed.

Nice write up but during the era of 3G I didn't experienced this as most phones are compatible
