All these useless bloggers.

Electronzeez:
Your phone is UMTS supported otherwise 3G. Huawei phones that are LTE supported has suffixes of this form

ALE-L-- GRA-L-- etc.. it means U in your G750-U10 Is for 3G category, when you buy an Huawei phone that has L After the - , it means it's one of their LTE category device .

Which phone are you using?

This doesn't seem to work on windows phone 8. It simply won't browse after changing the apn to either of the two. I guess it only works on Android, maybe iPhones also.

souljaboi51:
Oh okay. Who uses band 20

MTN

donphilopus:
I think so. I was charged nothing for migrating twice this night.

That's cool, man.

donphilopus:
Why are you misinforming the public? I migrated to the Biz Plus and I was charged 40k/s. Here you are telling us it's 11k/s right from the very first second. Anyway, I've migrated back to XtraPro.

So migration is now free no matter how many times one migrate in a day?

souljaboi51:
mine is the E5573s-606 modem. il try to unlock it

This particular variant of E5573 supports band 28. I'd have gone for it if not that it doesn't support band 20.

Osyxcel:
Yeah... Samsung S7 too support all bands.

Not all the variants, though. This is where Apple has the edge over other OEMs. Apple devices support a whole lot of lte bands

olurotimi1:
Alcatel pop 4s is the way to go man

How much is it?

ollah2:
Samsung S7 edge
BlackBerry Dtek 50

I guess you didn't read the OP very well. The OP clearly said, phones within the range of 40-50k, and you are mentioning S7 and Dtek50?

selfmadeOLX:
Its the MT7-TL10 brov pretty bad

I don't even really like using mobile network on phone - drains battery faster, makes device hot

Its still locked but the seller - my friend will be unlocking it before I pay
Guess the Smile router will solve my device problem of not supporting most 4G bands available in Nigeria then

Before you buy it, find out what other bands it supports apart from 20 (800).

I'm looking to buy a mifi or router, but it has to be one that support band 3, 7, 8, 20, 28 and 40.

Marcus2:
mine supports mtn and glo

Which phone?

bigtt76:
Exactly. To see the supported bands, I went into the Engineering Mode of the phone and selected the Band Mode option. The supported bands were checked while the others were greyed out.

Aha... that means the online specs aren't correct.

bigtt76:
Yea I know. Only sad its still running Android 5.1 no upgrade to 6.0 or 7.0 in sight

Oh, i see, that's quite saddening. Brands like UMI would rather make new phones with the latest OS than update existing ones.

By the way, how did you know what bands your phone supports? I'm asking because a quick specs search indicates it only supports band 1, 3 and 7

bigtt76:
Na one akproka phone o! UMI Iron

UMI Iron is a nice phone. LTE Band 28 is one of the most uncommon bands, even among top devices, so you should be happy your phone supports it.

bigtt76:
Band 28 lonh lonh? Thank God my phone has 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28, 38, 39, 40 and 41

That's cool. What phone is that?

bigtt76:
What band is Glo transmitting on pls?

band 28 (700mhz)

olurotimi1:
Please list of cheap band 28 not some 80something abi 90something

That is the problem with lte band 28... You can hardly see cheap phones that support it. It's one of the most uncommon lte bands, and stupid Glo chose to go with it.

I'll create a thread soon, listing other phones that support it.

seunmsg:
Thanks kahal29 for this thread. It is good that you quickly put a lie to the earlier misleading thread which has the highly discredited vanguard as source.

Justice Onnoghen is not the target of the recent crackdown but corrupt Judges. Nothing whatsoever must derail the appointment of Onnoghen as the CJN for the next 4 years.

But you were quick to believe the lie.

freshvine:
I was of the opinion that people voted for CHANGE to stop the impunity or was it for revenge?

Damn the change to hell. What Nigeria, as a country, needs is rough handling.

onward4life:
Come around Banex! There are outlets selling. But I have is Spectranet if u change ur mind

Thanks. But this is the specific one i want.

Does anyone know where I can buy the ZTE MF970 MiFi in Abuja?

Segunagagu:
Will this work for Samsung note 4 VERIZON. ...

No, since it doesn't support the band at all.

souljaboi51:
This was actually the first thing I checked. Mine is SM-G928F 64gb and yes it supports band 28

Indeed, your device supports band 28. Maybe glo 4G just isn't available in your location.

rman:
They do...the move to acquire visafone is strictly to have access to visafone's 800 band to roll out LTE. They are silent about it because NCC didn't want them to call it MTN LTE but visafone LTE. In fact, their 800 band LTE has been ready since June. However, both mtn lte and visafone lte require mtn sim. I do not understand why NCC cannot just let that go.

eraly:
I can authoritatively tell u dat MTN has 2 bands on their 4G LTE network. Band 7 and Band 20.

I see. If true, then it's good news to those with devices that support band 20, as they would enjoy better signal quality.

By the way, which variant of S6 edge plus do you have? Just to be sure that it actually supports band 28.

You may have to force your phone to assume 4G LTE. Don't call it a scam just yet, because some phones assume the network type with best signal strength, hence why your phone hasn't shown 4GLTE.

Now, on your dial pad, dial *#*#4636#*#*, now go into Phone information, scroll down and select LTE Only.

rman:
MTN has 800 band too. MTN LTE has both 800 and 2600 band...

How are you sure MTN is currently using band 20(800)? Because band 7(2600) is the only band MTN mentioned on its website and everywhere else. Though, initially, MTN said it would deploy its LTE over band 20, but since its deployment, only band 7 has been mentioned.

barackodam:
What does it mean then?

I have clarified it for him.

tico1212:
It doesn't mean you are browsing on 4G. my samsung has 4G on glo since i bought it. E slow pass gprs.....Btw there's diff between 4G and 4Glte

Your Samsung has had 4G since forever simply because you are using a T-mobile variant of Samsung. T-mobile USA coin its 3.5G as 4G, for marketing purpose. That's how their variant of phones are.

barackodam:
Oh, m3mini, Gionee

Cool.

barackodam:
And what's usim?

Usim(Universal subscriber identity module) is an advanced type of sim card, with better security, able to handle more contacts, it can encrypt calls and data, and so on. It's the standard sim for accessing 4G LTE.
