Does the Nokia 8210 4G work on Vodafone?
It works, with caveats.
Works with caveatsCalls and texts can fall back to 2G. Vodafone ends 2G for customers in September 2028. We haven't found confirmation that 4G Calling works on Vodafone. 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 7, 8, 20).
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.
