List of GSM Frequency Band in the Philippines

What is GSM Frequency Band?- Frequency ranges are the cellular frequencies designated by the ITU for the operation of GSM mobile phones. In other words, these are signal strength in classification of 2G, 3G, 4g, and 5G in the future, here in the Philippines, we are now using the 4G technology or LTE (long-term evolution) provided by our ISP (Globe, SUN, and Smart), and did you know that LTE maximum down-link peak rates of 300 Mbit/s, and up-link peak rates of 75 Mbit/s, hopefully our ISP will not limit our bandwidth.

Philippines GSM Service Providers


Globe Telecom

GSM Frequency Band - 900 MHz/1800 MHz (Dual Band)

    I have a Globe postpaid SIM and recently bought a S4 Google Edition. The LTE bands it can receive, according to Engadget: multi-band LTE (700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600). Does this mean that I will not be able to use LTE on the unit? And is there a chance that Globe will avail other LTE bands? Kinda sucks that I would have to change carriers just to have LTE. :(

      did you actually tried if your phone is receiving LTE signal? I can't see any problem with multi-band smartphone, and besides Globe won't sell LTE phone if they can't support it. (p)

      It won't work. bands have specific uplink and downlink frequencies. SMART band 1 runs on 1900MHz(downlink)/2100Mhz (uplink) while GLOBE band 3 runs on 1800Mhz(dl)/1700MHz(ul). Even if your Google Edition S4 supports band IV (which runs on 2100MHz(ul)/1700MHz(dl), or even if Smart or Globe run on both bands, it may still won't work.

      Remember that SMART and SUN have merge previously. Putting up another tower for LTE will double the expenses. You can now send SMART to SUN on unli text, and whatever promo. (p)

    Im intrigued about the LTE for SUN. Damn thing cant even give me a decent loading webpage. Not to mention I'm always thrown to 2G at Alabang. After the recent storm I never got to 3g and my best DL speed was 556kbps around Ayala and Makati.. Stupid faking SUN!

      This is because Smart and Globe limit their network speeds they are so slow even when I am visiting from Australia both Globe and Smart Networks are just a joke. They need a new challenger to come into the Philippines and make these companies cry they are all a joke and need a huge shake up!

    A1522 (CDMA): This is the world phone version of the iPhone 6 Plus, it is the one you get when you buy it through Verizon. As all Verizon iPhones are factory unlocked, it can work on most CDMA and GSM networks in the world. To know if it is compatible with carriers in your country, check out its radio frequencies: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev.
