OH NO!
And I have 'ordered' my Neo900 with WCDMA, 2G, 3G only!
What should I do now? Do you think I can still change my configuration so late?


(and nothing one could use on Jolla or any other SFOS device for the matter; as there's not VoLTE yet on those devices...!!)

LIke the Jolla 1, the N900 lacks the proper 3G bands to work with AT&T, and Ma Bell cut off 2G a couple years ago. T-Mobile maintains some 2G coverage till 2020, I think for data users like old-but-still-working embedded devices: lojack, bathroom scales, burglar alarms, etc. And T-Mo's 3G bands should still work with AT&T.

Hmm, sorry to be the bad guy:
But only as long as you do not switch on data connection and use it. Then you will need to carry a power bank with you...

Peter is being gentle..

Just make sure you DON'T have the n900 plugged into a wall outlet when you turn the data on...
If you do...
half of Europe may go dark ...
Hahahahahahaaahahaha

Actually pretty good.
Too bad you cannot experience it yet as the test devices we use are not yet on the market. (and before you ask, nope, you are not going to get a loaner from me, no.)
