Nokia 6263
FYI: US-only 3G phone
The phone is listed as WCDMA 1700 / WCDMA 2100. This is kind of correct, but not really. 👀
T-Mobile US's 3G network band is Band IV (four) which is spaced out so much that it uses two bands (1700MHz and 2100MHz), but this is not the same as saying it can work on 2100MHz, known as Band I (one) and used in Asia and Europe. This phone only works on 3G in the US.

No, my understanding is that this phone does support WCDMA 2100 for roaming in Europe and Asia.

Whoops! 🤠I was wrong. It is WCDMA 1700 only. (While the AWS band technically includes some 2100 MHz spectrum, we refer to it as "WCDMA 1700" so as not to confuse it with "WCDMA 2100".)

You're right. I've made the correction. Thanks!
We were misled by Nokia's own spec sheet, which said it supported "1700 and 2100" bands. However we just double-checked and indeed they only meant it supported T-Mobile 3G. It does not support European and Asian 3G.

I heard this phone wouldn't work on AT&T's 3G network. Is that true? What frequency and protocol does AT&T use for 3G? Thanks.
