Why are Blackview GLOBAL 5G phones blacklisted?!?!???

Blackview has repeatedly stated that all of their 5G phones are built for GLOBAL use, to include the odd American 5G choice of system... that the problem is not the Blackview phones but the American mobile carriers who choose to lock out the Blackview phones because the carriers don't sell Blackview phones.

They don't sell Blackview phones because Blackview phones are built to last forever and not break the bank like Apple, Samsung, LG, etc.

 

Seems to me that T-Mobile needs to be honest instead of telling people that the phones are the issue when they are guaranteed to be compatible by Blackview.

 

I tend to believe Blackview because their phones have been phenomenal compared to any other brand that I've used.

 

ALSO, I've had Developers from all of the American carriers verify that our Blackview phones can work but have been blocked by the carriers. 

 

But if anyone has any other information, I'd love to hear it! 

 

I know it's been a year and you probably don't care. But in case if you're still pondering this question or if some one else comes across this post I figured I'd give you a good solid response, other than someone trying to tell you that these phones won't work for T-Mobile which is simply not true.

Any ways I wanted to let you know if you haven't figured it out by now that yes you can use a non-us phone on T-Mobile's network. The best thing about T-Mobile if they don't white list stuff. 

My father uses a black view phone and has for over 4 years now on T-Mobile's network. In addition when I still had a T-Mobile cell phone line I used phones from Blackview, AGM, ulefone, ruggear, and etc and they all worked. 

This is the important part that you're talking about. Yes these all these companies for the most part claim that their phones work globally. For the most part all these companies phones do work globally. But they always don't work with every provider in each country. 

For example most of these companies phones only work with T-Mobile in the US. However with that said they don't always support all T-Mobile's frequencies in the US. For example with 5G. Blackview in particular as launched four to five 5G phones. They only work with band in 41 in the US on T-Mobile. So if you happen to be in the area that's not saturated with towers that provide band n41 then you're probably not going to get much service. 

As far as 4G goes most these brands have most of T-Mobile's 4G frequencies covered. I recommendation to you is if you're looking for a non-standard or a non-major brand phone. Is to check your providers website for their service frequencies. One of the few things i give T-Mobile is there very upfront with telling the users their service frequencies. They encourage people If they already have a phone to bring it to them. They want to give you service. I don't think they care if your phone was literally a brick from a side of a house they would probably try to find a way for it to work on their towers lol..

What that said once you find out what frequencies they offer for 4G and 5G go to the manufacturer's website of the phone you're looking for in this case Blackview. Find that particular blackview phone on the Blackview site and look at the specs. See if they match up. Now with that said I would try to insure that the phone is capable of running on more than one of that provider's frequencies. In the case of 5G and n41 and n71 are two frequencies you will want in most cases to insure you have a solid 5G connection with T-Mobile. 

As far as 4G goes I'd do the same in making sure that the phone operates on multiple T-Mobile frequencies. As another side note I would also Google cell tower sites and find a good site that shows you the local towers in your area and what frequencies they run on. This will also help you conclude that if T-Mobile has service in your area what frequencies they offer the service on. Using 5G as an example again I find that most areas are covered with n41 and 71.. however that does not mean always T-Mobile also operates three other wideband frequencies, that a lot of devices even stateside do not offer so keep that in mind as well.

Good luck to you!
