tobi2000: Yes, but you will only get 2g and 3g, if the company offers those, which 99.9999% providers does, apart from the weird Ntel network.. 2 Likes |

I don't think so because I was unable to store contacts on the 4g sim (glo 4g lte sim card) but was able to make calls with it. |

Ur answer is YES AND NO. If the sim is any of the popular ones like mtn, etisalat and glo then it would work, u will only get 3g and 2g though. But if the sim is ntel then rje answer is NO. Ntel sims only work on 4g phones and not all 4g phones, the phones must have band 3 and I think band 7 1 Like |

Dam5reey: Why do u need screenshots? Phantom 5 supports 4g. Cmon dude that phone is tecno flagship for last year, even ordinary camon c5 supports 4g. |
Re: Pls Guys Is It Possible To Use A 4G Sim On A 3G Phone by rookidmart: 1:22am On Dec 12, 2016 |
greenhulk:Tecno P5 =! Tecno Phantom 5. The former is a ~2014 device that runs Android 4.2.2 Jellybean, while the latter is the recent flagship. |
Re: Pls Guys Is It Possible To Use A 4G Sim On A 3G Phone by Dam5reey(m): 6:21am On Dec 12, 2016 |

greenhulk: Yeah... Most people get to know about them.. when they released phantom Z..... When they started with T1...see condemnation..but when I talk people will say chinco this, chinco that....then N3..later N7.. M3 and so on... But now people are praising them for Phantom 6 and 6 plus.. |

tobi2000: Ask him how he managed to get the LTE first.. he can explain.. because if you buy Ntel 4G.. it will be useless Try MTN...it will work even if the phone is 3G |

buh wil d 4g show |
Re: Pls Guys Is It Possible To Use A 4G Sim On A 3G Phone by rookidmart: 3:37pm On Dec 12, 2016 |
tobi2000:No, sir. Not on a P5. Some Android phones (ie Samsung) show 4G instead of H+ (3.5G), especially carrier branded ones. But to my knowledge, Tecno phones do not do this. So, no, it won't show 4G. |
Re: Pls Guys Is It Possible To Use A 4G Sim On A 3G Phone by rookidmart: 3:39pm On Dec 12, 2016 |
lordfalcao:Put it in an Android phone you haven't put an MTN sim in before and subscribe, after you subscribe you can change the sim to your regular phone and the device bonus will still be intact. |
Re: Pls Guys Is It Possible To Use A 4G Sim On A 3G Phone by Nobody: 4:06pm On Dec 12, 2016 |
tobi2000:Yes it's possible especially with the recent Glo 4g sim I bought. I was able to browse with sim on my phone bit the speed wasn't encouraging perhaps because it was on a 3g phone |
Re: Pls Guys Is It Possible To Use A 4G Sim On A 3G Phone by lordfalcao(m): 4:28pm On Dec 12, 2016 |
rookidmart:I don't have an android phone that I haven't inserted my MTN Sim in but I do get messages from Mtn about double offers. Any other way round it?? |
Re: Pls Guys Is It Possible To Use A 4G Sim On A 3G Phone by rookidmart: 4:32pm On Dec 12, 2016 |
lordfalcao:You can try to subscribe and see if you're given device bonus. |

Re: Pls Guys Is It Possible To Use A 4G Sim On A 3G Phone by henryobinna(m): 8:03pm On Dec 13, 2016 |
I don't think there's anything like 4G/3G/2G SIM. all sim cards(at least the regular and not cdma ones) are the same, the difference is what network and/or technology your your mobile network supports in your area, if you have MTN's supposed 4G SIM an area of 3G reception you'll only get 3G, if you also used that same SIM in a phone that has only 3G in an area with 4G reception your phone would only get 3G service because it doesn't support the 4G network thing, and guess what? you'll get only 3G on your phone with maximum of 3G while using a supposed 4G sim card. |
Re: Pls Guys Is It Possible To Use A 4G Sim On A 3G Phone by rookidmart: 8:26pm On Dec 13, 2016 |
henryobinna:The bolded is wrong. There is a difference between USim and 'normal' sim. You need a Usim to access UMTS (3G) video call and LTE services. Also there's also ISIM that you can use to access IMS VoLTE. https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/kirank29/sim-card-overview-9106900 I agree with the other parts of your post, I just wanted to correct the bolded part. Cheers. 1 Like |
