It actually means that you may well not get 4G coverage with some networks. Considering this is a 2G phone, that's probably irrelevant...

That's one solid looking phone for the price. Think I'll have to snap one of these up for work

Someone correct me if im wrong but i didn't think IP67 rating was waterproof, its water resistant which is different, the iPhone 7 has the same rating as this and samsung galaxy is IP68 which is better, I know this is much cheaper than both iphone and galaxy but I think this is a bit of false advertising?

According to this IP67 means that it can survive submersion in water for upto 30 minutes

Upto 1 metre, however is not suitable for swimming etc, waterproof is a higher rating which is suitable for divers and anyone wanting to use the electrical for long periods under high water pressure

Bought one a while back, looks good in pictures but all the "ruggedness" is just for show , sold it on and got a JCB one.

Even without band 20 and if it were 4G it would still work fine just not on 4G.
This also won't work on Three or networks like FreedomPop (I think), that use VoIP or 3G/4G is a requirement.

It's a quad band phone will work with all networks apart from 3 unless they turn 2g off but 3g is at more risk than 2g now
