Does the Mudita Pure work on Telekom?

Last checked 23 Oct 20266 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Yes, for now.

Works with caveats

Calls and texts can fall back to 2G. Telekom plans to switch 2G off completely by 30 June 2028. It supports 4G Calling, but we haven't found confirmation that it's enabled on Telekom. Its 4G bands match (shared bands: 1, 3, 7, 8, 20). There's no mobile data on the phone itself (Mudita only allows USB tethering to a computer).

It works today, but calls on the Mudita Pure rely on a part of Telekom's network with a switch-off on the way. Check the dates below before you commit for years.

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

Telekom (Germany)

  • 3G: Switched off in 2021

Mudita Pure

  • 2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
  • 3G: 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1700/2100 (AWS) MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz
  • 4G bands: FDD 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28; TDD 38–41
  • 4G Calling: experimental – MuditaOS 1.11.0 added VoLTE as an experimental feature for Great Britain (and DK, NL, CA, AT).

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