Droid Mini on T-Mobile

[thetrickster213]

Hi, I just purchased the DROID mini. I know it is GSM compatible, and verizon and tmobile use the same 4 700 mhz 4G LTE bands. Would I still get 4G LTE service, or just basic 4G

You'll have 4G LTE on Band 4.

The DROID Mini doesn't have Band 2 or Band 12 LTE so you might not get as good reception compared to using a T-Mobile phone.

Ok, but 4G LTE will work, but not as good as a T-Mobile phone?

The droid mini has bands 2,4, and 12, but T-Mobile only supports 4, and in the near future could support band 12 in my area

The droid mini has bands 2,4, and 12

Droid Mini = Bands 4 and 13
T-Mobile = Bands 2, 4, and 12

You'll get Band 4 LTE in areas where T-Mobile has Band 4 coverage. You wont get Band 2 or 12 anywhere because the Mini doesn't have them.
