Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
 

I know this is anecdotal but I asked on a different site about using the Jolla Phone in the US. T-Mobile was the carrier used.

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
 

heh, i like how one person on that forum KNOWS that the response is factually incorrect but decides to believe anyway.
in case you were considering believing it, 2g will work. 3g and LTE wiill not. {MMS does not require 3g data}.
also, some carriers have plans to abandon 2g in the US sometime next year, so not even that will necessarily work for long.

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
 

I have personally tried a Jolla phone on US T-Mobile and confirm 2G only. As we have rehashed over and over you can only get 2G in the US with that phone. Yes N9 had a pentaband that got 3g any country I went. Yes N900 worked on T-mobile US at 3G but no go on Jolla. You will have to bug Jolla about that for their next phone please vote here https://together.jolla.com/question/...jolla-handset/

In Jolla's defence universal LTE modems were not readily available when they were designing the first phone.
