Does the Nokia 3310 4G work on 1&1?

It works, with caveats.

Works with caveats

Calls and texts can fall back to 2G. 1&1 has no 2G of its own and uses Vodafone's 2G through national roaming, which ends in September 2028. We haven't found confirmation that 4G Calling works on 1&1. 4G data should work (shared bands: 38).

Fine for now. The catch is how calls get through: if they ride on 2G or 3G, they stop when 1&1 switches that off.

We worked this out from the phone's published bands and 1&1's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.

1&1 (Germany)

  • 3G: No 3G network
  • 2G: No 2G of its own: uses Vodafone's 2G via national roaming, so Vodafone's September 2028 date applies

Nokia 3310 4G

  • 2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
  • 3G: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz
  • 4G bands: 38, 39, 40, 41 (TD-LTE, Chinese model)
  • 4G Calling: unknown – Its 4G bands are Chinese TD-LTE bands, so 4G (and 4G Calling) won't work in the UK or Portugal.
