3G, LTE & 5G Frequency List for Bell Mobility

I am looking for the full list of frequencies that Bell uses so that I can buy the right phone from China. They don't want to tell me and most agents don't know what I'm talking about when I ask.

Thanks!

U can easily find the brand # and frequency on Google and Bell’s official website! If u have already entered parts of China Under Direct Communist Occupation, anyone can download a vpn its literally free on the App Store.

I've had someone from "Management Office" send me that link. It doesn't answer the question relating to 5G (because Bell's literature is so out of date of course). Is it just n66 for 5G or are there other bands that have been deployed.

You are all just sending me to the same article that doesnt include the band for 5G. I need answers not lipservice.

Hi @raptureboi cc: @AlexS @BellPatricia 

The most recent information for Bell 5G, NR specification:

band n66, frequencies 1.7MHz and 2.1MHz, are active or being deployed.

Just n66.

Hope this helps.

I think you can buy any phone as Bell is still using the old range of 3G so your phone will work for sure with Bell. 

Hello, all

I will purchase a phone from China, The model is missing N78, B2, B13, B29, B46, B66 and B71. 

I would like to know if these frequencies were often used. If my phone does not have these frequencies, will it be a big problem?
