I have a telstra unlocked model. Looking at the bands supported most other models for other countries cover Uk vodaphone needs, just the telstra doesn't, which seems a little crazy. I can get three 4...

Telstra model, MR1100-1TLAUS, only supports B1/3/7/8/28 but no B20. LTE modem inside the product are different compared to the other models, such as MR1100-1EEUS/100EUS. so you can't expect to enable any bands that is not available physically.

HI
I am getting a little confused. As I said I bought an M1 telstra. I agree it doesnt support Uk band 20 ( 800Mhz), BUT I have three and Vodaphone sims, and trying both I get three ok ( as per your reply needs band 20?), but not vodaphone. In a new list I found all Uk suppliers use band 20, Some also use band 32. I cannot understand how M1 gets three ok and not the other? Three is 4g on band 3 and 20 only per list, but i get it ok.(M1 only supports band 3), Vodaphone is 7 and 20, but have problems. (the M1 supports only the band 7 ),One thing i read says that they can use different frequencys in different areas, would that explain?
Where i am really unclear is how BAND amalgamation works, or if it helps in the M1 or M2 ?
Does this mean that if only one band is present for 4g that the device can use it, and if 2 or more they can cross/amalgamate the bands?
I ask this because looking at the spec on the M2 that device also for Uk does not have band 20 in its supported list//Hence my confusion!
HOW does uk M2 work if still no band 20???
getting my band info from, there seems to be an odd mistake on info between them.
