Does the Nokia 8000 4G work on Telekom?
Mostly, with a catch.
Works with caveatsCalls and texts can fall back to 2G. Telekom plans to switch 2G off completely by 30 June 2028. We haven't found confirmation that 4G Calling works on Telekom. 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 7, 8, 20).
It works today, but calls on the Nokia 8000 4G 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.
