Does the Cat B40 work on Vodafone?

Last checked 23 Oct 20264 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Yes.

Works

Calls and texts work over 2G, which Vodafone keeps running with no switch-off date announced, and 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 20, 28).

You should be able to put a Vodafone SIM in the Cat B40 and make calls, send texts and use data.

We worked this out from the phone's published bands and Vodafone's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.
