Does the Nokia 8000 4G work on Free Mobile?
It works, with caveats.
Works with caveatsWith 2G being switched off, calls and texts fall back to 3G, which this phone supports (900 MHz, 2100 MHz). Free hasn't announced a 3G switch-off date. We haven't found confirmation that 4G Calling works on Free Mobile. 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 7, 28).
Expect it to work, but read the switch-off dates below. That's where the catch is.
We worked this out from the phone's published bands and Free Mobile's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.
