Does the Palm Phone (PVG100) work on Vodafone (VodafoneZiggo)?

Last checked 23 Oct 20265 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Mostly, with a catch.

Works with caveats

Calls and texts can fall back to 2G. VodafoneZiggo hasn't published a date, but has told the Dutch government it expects to switch 2G off in 2028 or 2029. We haven't found confirmation that 4G Calling works on Vodafone (VodafoneZiggo). Its 4G bands (2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 17, 66 (US bands)) don't match Vodafone (VodafoneZiggo)'s, so expect no 4G data.

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