I just got a 2nd hand Pocophone, and didn't realise it doesn't support 700Mhz. I'm currently on 2degrees in Wellington. I'm not entirely sure how common each band is to each company, so if someone could chime in and let me know what network would be best to be on in terms of getting the most reliable connection, that would be great!

Does it support band 3 1800Mhz 4G / LTE?

 

Band 28 700Mhz is only used for 4G not 3G / UMTS

 

2Degrees also supports band8 4G / LTE

2degrees uses both of those bands but what 3G bands does the handset support?

Oh no issue, I was just not sure how well it would function on certain networks. Thanks for the help/reassurance!
