Droid Mini on T-Mobile

thetrickster213 · Apr 27, 2016

Can, when changed to GSM etc., the DROID mini work on the T-Mobile network, and in some areas with Band 4 coverage, have 4G LTE? I just need to make sure I can make calls and use texting and Internet with it on a tmobile sim

It seems compatible,take a look here:

I'd also check with T-Mobile as well,if you haven't already bought the phone,just in case the phone is blacklisted/etc....

I bought the phone off of Amazon yesterday, and the seller (icellsolutions) has 100% positive feedback over 300 reviews.

I checked it on willmyphonework.net and it shows a blue check for 2g, and a yellow check for 3g and 4g. What does that mean

thetrickster213 · Apr 28, 2016

Nevermind I know what it means

Thanks

So all I have to do is change the APN and delete all others. Also, I have to change the networking mode to GSM ETC

Definitely change the default networking to GSM/UMTS/LTE (or whichever the order is) away from the default Global. My first thought is don't worry about the APN changes unless you are having problems with MMS messages and internet/app connectivity through T-Mobile's network. It *should* set up the proper APN at this point.

(I've never used a 2013 Droid on T-Mobile - I have a Maxx, not a Mini, but they are the same when it comes to network functions - but I pay attention to threads like that.)

Ok, I'll post to this thread if I need help. It's still on the way so I'll have to wait

Just know that it uses a nano sim , be forewarned if you try to make a call on LTE it won't work just quickly redial and it will go thru this isn't an issue on 3g/H+

thetrickster213 · Apr 28, 2016

Isn't there a way it can make calls on LTE?

DirtyDee · Apr 28, 2016

Don't worry T-Mobile 3g speed is outrageous fast

thetrickster213 · Apr 28, 2016

Thank God it's fast for calls

I got it to work on T-Mobile. Has 4G LTE too. Thanks
