Does the Nokia 8210 4G work on 1&1?

Q: Does the Nokia 8210 4G work on 1&1?

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: 1, 3, 7, 8, 20).

Yes, for now.

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 1&1's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.

3G: No 3G network
