Does the Palm Phone (PVG100) work on Vodafone (Fastweb + Vodafone)?

Last checked 23 Oct 20264 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Mostly, with a catch.

Works with caveats

Calls and texts work over 2G, which Vodafone (Fastweb + Vodafone) keeps running with no switch-off date announced. Its 4G bands (2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 17, 66 (US bands)) don't match Vodafone (Fastweb + Vodafone)'s, so expect no 4G data.

It works today, but calls on the Palm Phone (PVG100) rely on a part of Vodafone (Fastweb + Vodafone)'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 Vodafone (Fastweb + Vodafone)'s own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.
