I need some official info/specs of which 3G (WCDMA for europe) bands are supported by the VZW G3. Is 900MHz supported?

Google "lg g3 verizon" will get you to the official page, where you can find the spec:
Network
Network: CDMA/GSM/WCDMA/LTE
Frequencies: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, CDMA 1.9 GHz CDMA PCS/800 MHz CDMA, LTE Bands 4/13
Data Transmission: EVDO, EVDO Rev A, 1xRTT, LTE
IS 800MHz a 4G band, and what operators use it?
I am in England and i am looking at buying a phone that doesnt have that band, but it has WCDMA 900/1900/2100MHz, FDD-LTE 1800/2100MHz, TDD-LTE 2600MHz, GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
Hi, last week I was given a Moto G3 XT 1541 from Spain. The problem is that it doesn't connect to argentinian carrier's 3g or 4g bands, it only works on 2g. A friend told me that I could work it out flashing the firmware of another model like XT1540 which works perfectly on 3g and 4g. Is it a firmware block? Can I solve it flashing another model's firmware? If I flash it, will my phone work or it will be a stone? Thank you ver much.
Yes, you can.
Moto G 3rd generation does not have capability of 2300 MHz bandwidth.
Requirements for a4G
1. A handset that supports 2300Mhz.
2. A 3G plan.
3. USIM (they provide free upgrade)
4. 4G network coverage
I think even HSPA or HSPA+ might not work for me on this phone. I am using a T Mobile family plan here, and comparing th bands given on the website:
"4G (HSPA+)
With 4G, theoretical maximum download speeds range from 21 Mbps up to 42 Mbps. You can take advantage of incredibly fast download speeds, and even use voice and data services at the same time.
Frequencies: Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)
3G (HSPA)
With 3G, theoretical maximum download of 14 Mbps. With 3G, you can use voice and data services simultaneously.
Frequencies: Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)"
"Moto G (XT1550)
LTE (1, 3, 7, 8, 28,40) UMTS/HSPA+ (900, 2100, 850 MHz)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)"
It seems that the uplink is unsupported by my phone and so the phone is unable to use the HSPA/HSPA+ bands. I think the only way to use it is to unlock the 1700 MHz band on my phone.
XT1541: GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 - UMTS/HSPA+: 900, 2100 - LTE: B1 (2100), B3 (1800), B7 (2600), B8 (900), B20 (800)
Argentina UMS/HSPA+ works on 850 and 1900.
This phone will only get 2g where you are. Flashing another firmware will not fix this.
I have t-mobile. I still don't understand what bands need to be covered for t-mobile. I'm thinking about buying a Xiaomi Redmi 4 prime. I live in the USA, I want to know what bands should be available for me to use the phone. I already checked http://willmyphonework.net/ and the Redmi 4 Prime is not listed. The bands on the phone pulled from gsmarena are:
Technology
GSM / CDMA / HSPA / EVDO / LTE
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
CDMA 800 / 1900
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO & TD-SCDMA
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)
Speed HSPA, LTE
GPRS Yes
EDGE Yes

According to this page:

I could see that Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 has the same 4G bands as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, and the first answer which marked as the Correct Answer says that it won't get any 4G support With T-Mobile
I have a new unlocked S9+ China (SM-G9650/DS, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845), and I'm trying to figure out if it is fully supported by T-Mobile in the US. I've done some Googling on this, but I'm not sure I understand the results. The supported band specs for the phone, and the T-Mobile frequencies used, are below. Can someone confirm or comment whether the phone is fully supported, or if not what's missing? Thx, Gus

It will work on T-Mobile frequencies but you won't get Wifi Calling or voLTE. The stock CSC is TGY - Hong Kong, T-Mobile is TMB. I haven't found any way to change the CSC even with custom ROM, but assuming one became available you would trip Knox and lose Samsung Pay, Samsung Health, Secure Folder, OTA Updates and Factory Warranty. Some members have posted in regards to changing the CSC Code in the link below but I'm not certain it's working out. Good luck!

baring any unforeseen hidden stuff, you should be good to go for Tmobile...Minus the new Band 71 on the 600mhz spectrum. Honestly, unless you live in the area that will get this deployment, this shouldn't be of concern. As long as you can use Band 2/4/12, you will be ok with Tmobile.
I almost went with this route as well since I wanted to get a Snapdragon version with larger storage size. But I chickened out because I've been reading people having bad signals/not having full LTE speeds with their imported S9+ on TMOUS.
Good luck and let us know!
I used CT Excel Americas (T-mobile mvno) and it worked on CHC firmware. But I forgot to test volte etc.

Please post steps for this. I would like to get VoLTE and Wifi calling
