Does the Cat B40 work on WindTre?

Last checked 23 Oct 20265 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Yes, it works.

Works

Calls and texts work over 2G, which WindTre keeps running with no switch-off date announced, and 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 7, 20).

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

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

WindTre (Italy)

  • 2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

The same applies to networks that run on WindTre: Very Mobile. Smaller networks sometimes handle 4G Calling differently, so check with them too.
