I recently bought a new phone while on vacation outside the us and when i came back i put in the t-mobile sim and it says no service. I've tried most of the youtube solutions and none of them are working. The plan i am using is Unlimited LTE but it keeps saying no service on the top right of my phone.

 

Please advise

I agree with you very much. I am also a fan of this product, and I am also a watch fan. I want to buy a watch box recently. Do you have any good suggestions? What do you think of this one?

this is the frequency bands

That shows it should get GSM (2G), but, that's pretty much just voice (and, even then, T-Mobile is pushing over to VoLTE).

3G would be available in some markets.  But, TBH, it's not a lot of markets on 3G on the 1900 band.

Doesn't support 4G or LTE bands T-Mobile uses.

Hey, @xaquaz​!

I have to agree with @smplyunprdctble -- we can't give a 100% definite answer without knowing the what frequencies it supports. I checked out all of the Q&A on the Amazon page you linked to and couldn't find anything there either.

I don't see anything on the amazon page that says what frequencies / bands are supported.

Your symptoms suggest the bands available in the device you have are not compatible with the bands T-Mobile uses.  But, nobody can confirm or deny this suspicion without knowing exactly what bands your device supports.

its this one Honor 9 Lite - 3GB+32GB, Dual Sim, Quad Camera 13+2MP: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

so it will not work?

If this is the phone, it says it's 2G compatible, 3G compatible in select areas, and not 4G/LTE compatible.

I searched it up and  tmobile networks work with honor 9 lite

Have you verified the phone is compatible with T-Mobile's network?

Many foreign devices don't bands required by T-Mobile to work.
