Does the Qin F21 Pro (global) work on MEO?

Last checked 22 Oct 20264 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Yes, it should.

Works

Calls and texts work over 2G, which MEO keeps running for voice now 3G is gone, and 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 7, 20).

You should be able to put a MEO SIM in the Qin F21 Pro (global) and make calls, send texts and use data.

We worked this out from the phone's published bands and MEO's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.
