Getting phone from South Korea, need to know about band connections

Hello @oldboy85,

You can see if a device is compatible with our network by visiting our Bring Your Own Phone page. AT&T’s bands include: 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 17(700); you can find additional information on our bands under the Confirm device compatibility of the same page.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. I hope you have a great day!

Do you as CS reps even know your own LTE bands?  They are as follows so take notes...  2,4,5,12,29,30  band 29 has limited deployment...  And band 12 IS band 17 since band 17 is a subset of band 12...  Also the Ops phone wont work with LTE since att's IMEI database will show it as a 3g only device....

@oldboy85

You will get HSPA aka 3g coverage with this phone NOT LTE....

I am currently using a G1650 on AT&T and getting H+ speed. It works quite well and I really like it.

Would AT&T ever update their database to include the IMEI of the G1650 and other Samsung Android flip phones (W2016, W2017, W2018, G9298) as 4G LTE? Believe it or not, there are some of us relics who really like flip phone styling but want smartphone capability.....or better yet make some them available to us for purchase from Samsung.....Just a thought!

I just got my galaxy folder 2 and while I'm not on the AT&T plan itself but I'm using straight talk on AT&T towers and while its not perfect its the best that is available in the states sometimes calls can take a minute to connect but the calls are clear and don't drop and I get service which shouldn't be possible from the research I did before buying the phone. I wanted a public forum to be able to assure anyone who might not think it would be a good idea to know that if your hesitant and don't think it will work in the USA but it does I'm using it just fine on straight talk AT&T towers. I'm so happy I made the choice as well I love my phone.

You can enjoy for 6 to 18 months, then you must replace it.  Once 3g shuts down you must have a phone capable of VoLTE.  And the Folder 2 is not.   https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_folder2-9331.php
