Hi Guys
I am thinking of purchasing this phone but i have a question about the 5g part. On the box it says EE. So does that mean the phone will only work with EE 5g. I am planning on using vodafone 5g. If the phone is unlocked, does the 5g work on other networks?
Thanks
Also,, does that mean the phone is locked to EE
Can you unlock these phones?
I have one from EE. It's not locked and I use it on another network.

Where did you purchase it from?
I purchased one from EE and it's unlocked, was extremely surprised.
The only thing it's not dual SIM.
Sim lock
I bought mine from cEx £415 EE green, but tried my Smarty (Three) sim in it and it works
happy days, just pray it's not blocked wihin my 2 year warranty period
How is the battery life on this phone?
Anyone got any reviews on the 5g version of the phone?
I've ordered the oppo Reno 5g from ee expecting it Monday to be delivered.
Not exactly upgrading as I have a Samsung s10 plus.
I've just decided to pay me contract off to reduce my monthly outgoings , I was only 8 months into my 24 months and there was 500 to pay so I've sold my S10+ and ordered the Reno 5g because I've managed to get it for £25 a month
I just hope it's not crap ?
Reviews are mixed and there isn't many of them either

Please give me an update comparing the Reno 5g to your s10+. I am really interested i what you have to say.
Thanks
Does that mean my unlocked oppo 5g handset will work on Vodafone 5g or is only one EE?
Does anyone know about the 5g part. Surely I can benefit from another networks 5g other than EE?
OK I am quite annoyed because I emailed oppo and they said the 5g signal was will only work from EE. I had no idea the handset will be locked to only one networks 5g signal.
So frustrating
Does anyone know if oppo will ever allow us to use 5g from a different network?
Any reviews of EE 5G signal?
Cmon surely some people must own the 5g version of the phone.??
I've got 2 of them but i'm not in UK. My Reno's 5G are not locked. Why not asking directly EE to know ?
Does anyone actually know if the oppo reno 5g handset is locked to 5g service only. I am currently using it on vodafone but i never get 5g signal on it even when they tell me that 5g is activated. o2 are starting to get 5g and my contract finishes in December. I am debating whether to stick with vodafone or move to o2 but i want to be able to use the 5g service due to the fact i have a 5g handset. EE is really expensive for sim only so that is why i do not want to go with them.

Is 5g network rolled out in all areas where you live. I can tell you know that where I am in Australia, there is barely any 5g network, so best I get is 4g
Hope someone can give me advice. I have 5g in my house, my wife uses an IPHONE 12 promax and it can detect 5G but my device cant. can anyone help me please?
I'd like to up this too. I bought a Korean single sim phone with band n78 but it cannot detect 5g while my wife's IPhone 12 can. Any advice? Tried doing the quickshortcut app technique accessing the 5g signal manually but it won't select it for some reason
Check your SIM card or contact your carrier for help.
hi! Globe uses 5G NR/NSA n78 Band, which the korean varian SM-N986N supports.
Globe also provided information for foreign visitors who would like to hook to their infrastructure while visiting Ph. (see link below. don't mind the partner carrier)
5G Technology for Mobile - Globe
5G technology is the next generation of wireless internet connectivity that offers faster speed and more reliable internet connection than ever before.
www.globe.com.ph
if SM-N986N can't see the 5G network while other locally bought phones can, chances are 5G NR/NSA n78 band isn't available in your area and other phones hook through other 5G bands, or your sim card does not support 5G services.
i wasn't able to verify this when I went back to Ph, since my current provider's partner network is Smart

Pretty sure att still has fake 5g running. Not fully deployed. They got called out a few times for falsely saying they did. Did you get a 5g Sim card from them? Is your apn set correctly?
Brand new Sim card 1 weeks ago from att store attached apn auto configured when popped in Sim as you can see from Screenshot it shows lte
Have at&t note 20. Call (not chat) customer support and ask them to reprovision your sim card.it should be the enhanced phone APN, not nextgen phone. You may need to escalate beyond basic support.
Hello, so my Oneplus 8 5G show me the 5G icon even when it's just on LTE but the LTE tower also support 5G nsa. I find that pretty annoying that the device is lying about the connectivity.
Anyway to do so? I don't mind solutions that need root. Thanks
I'm traveling to the US soon, and i find out most companies like t-mobile verizo and at&t don't list the phone as compatible with their networks, and more over, when putting the IMEI on those websites, it just says not compatible.. any of you has any experience in the US with this specific phone? Global model ofc
I have it here in the US and I use t-mobile. I do not get good service and do not have VOLTE or VOWIFI. I did get missed calls time to time but it still worked.
The Realme GT2 PRO has compatibility issues with T-Mobile. I'm currently using mint mobile which is an mvno of T-Mobile and the service is pretty bad. In fact mint mobile says that the Realme GT2 pro is not compatible although it does work... barely. Unfortunately I had to buy Pixel 7 for use at work which is fine because it takes so long to charge that phone I end up using the GT2 pro at night for media and gaming. It's not a band issue as much as US carriers simply don't want to status the software.
Hopefully this will change soon. I haven't tried an att mvno but that's definitely on my to do list as the 5G and 4G band compatibility is better than T-Mobile.
