Does the Alcatel 3080G work on Talkmobile?
Works (on 2G)
Calls and texts work on Talkmobile using 2G. They'll stop working when 2G is switched off unless 4G calling gets enabled.
How we worked it out
- 2G calls: The phone supports 2G and Talkmobile's 2G network is still on (Talkmobile uses Vodafone's network).
- 4G bands: Shares 4G bands with Talkmobile: B1, B3, B7, B8, B20, B28.
- 4G calling: Talkmobile only enables 4G calling on approved phones, and we haven't confirmed this one.
Reports for this network
- Vodafone's device guide lists 4G calling (VoLTE) as supported. Source
Talkmobile runs on Vodafone's network, so it uses Vodafone's masts and bands.
About 2G: Vodafone plans to switch off 2G in spring 2030. Until then, phones without 4G calling use 2G for calls.
About 4G calling: Talkmobile says an Android phone without 4G calling settings isn't compatible.
