There are many of us who have ever felt craving for a cell phone model that is not available locally and we must buy abroad or send it in some way. However, one of the most frequent concerns (and with good reason) is whether or not the equipment will work with the bands (frequencies) of the operators in our country. The way to find out is not always so simple, either because we do not have the complete specifications of the phone at hand, or simply because we are not aware of the frequencies used by cellular operators in our country
Already in the past I have witnessed some cases of people who have had the bad surprise of bringing a cell phone from abroad very happy, only to later find out that it is not compatible with the country’s bands, being left with a cell phone that is not useful for make calls.
with Willmyphonework find out if your phone is compatible with your operator
It seems that the team of Willmyphonework a portal dedicated to solving the question of whether your phone works or not your operator, they realized this need, and created this simple and very useful page, in which they collect a large database of phones and their compatibility around the world.
Example: with the Iphone 6 model A1589, Claro Colombia reports incompatibility with 4G networks
The page is very easy to use, it is enough to first select a manufacturer (for example Apple), then a device model (for example iPhone 6), then a sub-model or variant of the device (for example (A1589) which is the step more crucial in the search because the submodels of the same equipment are those that tell you if it works or not in a region of the world. After entering the telephone data, select the country and your operator and press the search button to find out the compatibility.
Example: The OnePlus One model A0001 is fully compatible with Claro in Colombia
The search results that will inform you if your selected model is compatible with your operator’s networks. Willmyphonework administrators warn that they do not have the complete list of equipment and operators, and they invite us to inform you when a device is not in the database to be added; They also warn that although they have done a very detailed work to find out the compatibility of the equipment around the world, they are not exempt from an operator changing their frequencies or having an error in some equipment and the information is not 100% correct always .
Personally, I think that Willmyphonework is a great tool that I plan to have on hand the next time I am encouraged by a device that is not available locally.
