Hey guys,

I'm on bell mobility and apparently they do have 2600 mhz LTE.

I purchased a phone online, which is capable of 2600 mhz; however, when I use the phone I"m not getting LTE connection.

When I use another phone, I get LTE just fine, but of course it has other LTE bands.

Is there a way to check what LTE band your phone is getting? Is there a way to select the LTE band?

I'm not sure if it's the phone that's not catching the 2600 mhz LTE or if it's Bell not giving it.

Any help? :nut:

BTW the phone I"m trying to use is Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-7

You can use a frequency counter from an Electronics shop to tell you what the phone is broadcasting, but as far as selecting which band to use I have no idea.

you have to check the credentials in the phone - sometimes they they are fixed to use certain authentication /encryption types types PAP, etc
and then from there or first check your APN access point names data profiles in your phone ie inet.bell.ca or whatever its called

i honestly still use CDMA 3g on bell prepaid works great.
