Does the TCL Flip 3 (US model) work on Vodafone (Fastweb + Vodafone)?

Last checked 23 Oct 20264 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Mostly, with a catch.

Works with caveats

Calls and texts work over 2G, which Vodafone (Fastweb + Vodafone) keeps running with no switch-off date announced. Its 4G bands (2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 41, 66 (US bands)) don't match Vodafone (Fastweb + Vodafone)'s, so expect no 4G data.

Expect it to work, but read the switch-off dates below. That's where the catch is.

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