How to Check Your 4G LTE Network Band Via Mtk Engineering

1.Download MTK Engineering Mode fromGoogle Play store or search for it on Google
2.Install the app
3.Tap MTK Settings
4.Tap BandMode
5. Select your SIM

You will see a list of band mode, from GSM to LTE,
If you cannot tick the band 28 check box, then forget about using Glo 4G LTE service.
If you cannot tick the band 3 check box, then forget about using Etisalat 4G LTE service.
If you are not able tick band 20 or 7 check box, your phone is not supported for MTN 4G LTE service. If you use Ntel and you can’t tick band 8 or band 3, then your smartphone has no support for Ntel network.

From this above, it is pretty obvious that Tecno 4G phone supports ETISALAT, MTN, NTEL, and SMILE network. For MTN n network you will need to visit any of their care center closest to you for a sim upgrade, but for Etisalat the upgrade has been confirmed in most areas in LAGOS Port Harcourt and Abuja. Other cities should be next….. So guys what are you waiting for, go get a Tecno phone having a 4g network and enjoy the browsing speed of light… Cheers
