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

Last checked 23 Oct 20266 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Yes, it should.

Works

Calls and texts work over 2G, which TIM keeps running with no switch-off date announced, and 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 7, 20).

You should be able to put a TIM 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 TIM's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.
