Re: mobile not compatible with T Mobile works with wifi
Thanks for the explanation but I don't understand anything because I am profane on the subject; In any case, from what you tell me, the most normal thing is that in the Wi-Fi of the hotels I can use my mobile with my European SIM, whether I have roaming or not, right?15Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: mobile not compatible with T Mobile works with wifi

Why do you ask where I'm going? Is there a difference in coverage depending on the city?13Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: mobile not compatible with T Mobile works with wifi

I am profane in this topic and I don't know which bands. I'm sorry but I thought that if a mobile works in Europe it works in the US (for Wi-Fi)11Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: mobile not compatible with T Mobile works with wifi

In my house my mobile uses the Wi-Fi at home. I don't know if this is important. But of course it is the wifi of my house in Europe, not the wifi of a hotel in the US17Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: mobile not compatible with T Mobile works with wifi
Sorry, I know that nobody can guarantee anything, I mean that if here in Europe, our family mobiles work well, and are "normal" although I don't know what bands they use if 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz for Wi-Fi, it is very likely that in Does the Hotel Wi-Fi work, regardless of whether they are not compatible with T Mobile? that's what I mean. We go to Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco.15Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: mobile not compatible with T Mobile works with wifi
so you can assure me that regardless of the fact that my mobile is not compatible with T Mobile cards or to receive T Mobile frequencies on the west coast of the US, in the hotel's Wi-Fi, if I connect through it, I will be able to navigate safely ? thank you17Visto0likes0Comentariosmobile not compatible with T Mobile works with wifi
I started a post that said: "buy t mobile prepaid card to travel to the US" and T Mobile told me that my phone was not compatible with them, but now what I would like to know is if I go with my current cell phone (which T Mobile says which is incompatible) and I go with my SIM that does not have roaming in the USA, when I am in a hotel and I connect with my mobile and my sim to the hotel's wifi, the hotel's wifi will not work for me either? I hope your help. Thank you284Visto0likes12ComentariosRe: buy prepaid t mobile card to travel to USA
HeavenM wrote: Thanks for reaching out! Sounds like we have three questions. How can you buy a T-Mobile SIM card? Will your phone work with a T-Mobile SIM card while you are in the US? Can you use that phone with your original carrier SIM card on our network through roaming? T-Mobile SIM cards are available to purchase through many retailers. I don't think Walmart and Target are international so Amazon may be the bestoption. Just make sure you purchase a United States version and not the German version. Network compatibility can be confusing and changes as technologyevolves. Hopefully I can shed a little light on things to make it easier. Cell towers broadcast frequencies and your phone has to have the right antenna to pick up what is broadcast. When your phone picks up the frequency, the software in your phone has to be able to process it to actually send and receive calls and text messages. I found the specs for theoppo A54S online and it should be able to pick up 5 of the frequencies that T-Mobile uses. What we can't verify is if your phone is capable of VoLTE. If it does have VoLTE, then you can get the T-Mobile SIM card and use youroppo A54S while you travel. If it doesn't, then that phone would not get service with the T-Mobile SIM card. If your cellphone provider and T-Mobile have a roamingagreement, then it is likely that you will get some kind of service while in the US. It is hard to say what will and won't work because the phone is not built with the US network top of mind. You will most likely be able to send and receive text messages and get some data. If the phone is not VoLTE capable, then calls may not go through at all with either SIM card. It is a bit of a long answer but hopefullythishelps. Please, one final question: from what I see I have 3 options. 1) buy a new mobile, an option that if it is only to travel to the US, I do not see it as highly recommended because I already have 2 although neither of the 2 the T Mobile page says that they will work for me 2) risk seeing what happens when I am in USA 3) This is the main question, if I go with my current phone (which T Mobile says is incompatible) and with my SIM that does not have roaming in the US, when I am in a hotel and I connect with my mobile and my sim to The hotel's Wi-Fi won't be able to work on my cell phone either?I hope your help.Thank you6Visto0likes0Comentarios
