Скачать или смотреть Phone Compatibility Guide (Cell Networks, Wireless Coverage, and Carrier Compatibility)

Is my phone compatible with a particular carrier? Will my phone work if I switch carriers? How do I make sure I will have good network coverage? What does it mean if a phone is network locked? These questions, and many more, are critical when shopping for a new or used iphone or Android--and I've got the answers for you!

Or questions like: what is the safest way to make sure I will not have coverage or network problems? How can I find out what frequency bands my phone and carrier use? What is VoLTE and why should I care?

You've come to the right place. I dive into the confusing world of cellphone carrier and network compatibility in the U.S. From Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, to MVNO's like Mint Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, and Cricket Wireless; wireless carriers can differ in their network coverage, phone activation policies, and device unlock policies.

So, before you buy that used iphone or Android on Ebay, make sure you won't be stuck with a smartphone that either can't connect to your carrier's network or can only utilize a few of your carrier's frequency bands in the area where you live.
