Support For Major Carrier And MVNO LTE Bands
The major wireless carriers and their respective MVNO’s use the LTE bands shown below. You can easily see which providers the BLU Studio X8 HD may be compatible with. The more bands that match up, the more compatible the phone will be with that network.
Keep in mind, even though your phone may appear to be compatible with Sprint or Verizon it still may not work on either of those networks.
