Does the Nokia 2780 Flip (US model) work on Vodafone?

Mostly, with a catch.

Works with caveats

Calls and texts work over 2G, which Vodafone keeps running with no switch-off date announced. Its 4G bands (2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 41, 66, 71 (US bands)) don't match Vodafone's, so expect no 4G data.

Fine for now. The catch is how calls get through: if they ride on 2G or 3G, they stop when Vodafone switches that off.

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.

Vodafone (Ireland)

  • 3G: Switched off (October 2024)

Nokia 2780 Flip (US model)

  • 2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
  • 3G: 850 MHz, 1700/2100 (AWS) MHz, 1900 MHz
  • 4G bands: 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 41, 66, 71 (US bands)
  • 4G Calling: unknown – Built for US networks; no UK/PT VoLTE confirmation found.

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