Does the Palm Phone (PVG100) work on TIM?
It works, with caveats.
Works with caveatsCalls and texts work over 2G, which TIM keeps running with no switch-off date announced. Its 4G bands (2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 17, 66 (US bands)) don't match TIM's, so expect no 4G data.
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 TIM's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.
