Does the TCL Flip 2 (US model) work on Orange?
No, not any more.
Doesn't workIts 4G bands (2, 4, 5, 12, 25, 26, 41, 66, 71 (US bands)) don't match Orange's, and it has no matching 3G to fall back to.
On Orange this phone can't make reliable calls. Another network in France may still suit it.
We worked this out from the phone's published bands and Orange's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.
