    I doubt it, Orange is not a 4G network...

    So if he/she is in the Netherlands, why are they worrying about getting a Kestral on EE?

    well on the gsmaera site the g6 does LTE 800 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600


    so long as ee themselves dont get huawei to change the radio of the phone to limit it to use only the ee bands which are 800/1800 it will only work on three and ee and tbh thats all i care about but will put a big dent on the resale value

    here is a link to worldwide lte bands

    How do you figure that?

    The 3 UK bands are 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2600MHz, according to your link, it covers all of them.

    800MHz covers O2 and Vodafone (with EE and Three to roll it out later this year).
    1800MHz covers current EE and Three rollout.
    2600MHz is for future rollout by EE and Vodafone (probably urban infill for congestion).

    Notice, EE has all 3 in it's allocation.

    you miss read me 3 run on the 800 band ee dont but ee and 3 run on the 1800 so will work on both only if your area has both frqs running for 4g , by radio i mean bands it runs on, so if ee get it modified by huawei to run on 2600 and 1800 its as good as junk only fit for ee as the other band 3 are on would be locked out and thus 02

    No, but but I don't think you know what you are writing.

    No. three currently run on the 1800MHz band, they have 800MHz spectrum but have yet to publicise when they plan on starting to use it.

    Currently true, but EE will be rolling out 800MHz in the short term future.

    Yes, well done, so why the mistake in your first point? ,

    Why would EE lock out a band that they have a allocation of? That will offer them good rural coverage and easier network integration with the extra convenience of the 800MHz spectrum?

    Completely wrong.

    For your reference and to give you some facts of who has what, here is the OFCOM announcement of which network won what (it obviously excludes the free 1800MHz spectrum Three got from EE, as it was not part of the auction).
