FIDO LTE Bands Match

[xtrip]

hello,

Ive been doing quite a bit of research and at this point Im still not sure about the following.

Will an international version of Nokia Lumia 920 will work with FIdo LTE?

The bands of the Nokia lumia thats being sold unlocked online are: LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600 / 900 / 2100

Do all of these bands have to match fido's lte bands? or 2100 is enough? 

thank you

I am thinking to get an unlocked version of Galaxy Note 2. But there are many varieties of them in the market. For example the model N7105 has the following LTE bands including 2600 but doesn’t say anything about supporting AWS. Would this work in your LTE network? If not which model of note 2 is best compatible with Fido LTE?

I appreciate a clear answer as LTE/AWS are really confusing.

• LTE (800/900/1800/2600MHz) +
• UMTS HSPA+ (850/900/2100MHz) +
• GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz)

You'll be fine if your phone supports LTE on 2600 MHz.  Rogers has deployed 2600 MHz in all the markets where they have LTE.

AWS (or LTE Band IV) operates on both 1700 and 2100 MHz (uplink on one, downlink on the other) - if your phone only supports one of the two, you will not be able to use LTE on the AWS band.

Thanks. In this case people who are looking to get their own Galaxy note 2 then the best model is N7105. I just got a new factory unlocked N7105 (with LTE 2600) for $550 US in Amazon.com with no tax and free shipping to my US Address.

I also got an unlocked N7105 but could not link to Lte network. I did a lot research as to how to setup APN and had followed the instructions, but still does not work. Anyone has the solutions? Thanks.
