Does the TCL Flip 2 (US model) work on WindTre?

Last checked 23 Oct 20265 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Mostly, with a catch.

Works with caveats

Calls and texts work over 2G, which WindTre keeps running with no switch-off date announced. Its 4G bands (2, 4, 5, 12, 25, 26, 41, 66, 71 (US bands)) don't match WindTre's, so expect no 4G data.

Fine for now. The catch is how calls get through: if they ride on 2G or 3G, they stop when WindTre switches that off.

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

WindTre (Italy)

  • 3G: On 900 MHz only (2100 MHz 3G closed from June 2024); a software-block trial was approved in October 2026
  • 2G: On; no switch-off date announced

TCL Flip 2 (US model)

  • 2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
  • 3G: 850 MHz, 1700/2100 (AWS) MHz, 1900 MHz
  • 4G bands: 2, 4, 5, 12, 25, 26, 41, 66, 71 (US bands)
  • 4G Calling: unknown – Built for US networks.

The same applies to networks that run on WindTre: Very Mobile. Smaller networks sometimes handle 4G Calling differently, so check with them too.
