Samsung Galaxy Note 5

[merchantmike]

Annoyed Samsung won't sell the Note 5 in Europe and looking to import from the US or Asia.

Can Vodafone state what variant works and is compatible with their 4g bandwidths so I know which part of the world to shop in.

No problem - thank you for your patience whilst I did some digging to find out what was going on.

Drey_p you are right. I've got a Note 5 dual sim and in Farnborugh where I live I only get h+, but if I go in to London I got 4g.

The only solution so far is to switch to EE or 3G.

@Noru85   That is because Vodafone use 2 different frequencies for 4G.  They use 800MHz in less densely populated areas and 2600MHz in more densely populated ones.  Your phone probably isn't compatible with the band of the 800MHz frequency which is why you can't get signal in Farnborough.  But the handset is compatible with the 2600MHz that is transmitted in London.

As you will have seen in this thread, the best thing to do in the future is only buy a handset that was specifically designed for the UK market.
