Telstra Network compatibility

[Winnie_10]

Hi! I'm overseas and I'm thinking about buying a new phone (Xiaomi 9 Note Pro). 

Could you please tell me the compatibility with Telstra? (see phone details below)

Cheers! 

NETWORK

Technology	GSM / HSPA / LTE
2G bands	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2

2G is obsolete, we haven't had 2G networks in Australia for a few years now.

3G is OK. Telstra uses the 850MHz band

4G will work in some locations. That phone doesn't work on Band 28 (700MHz) which is the primary 4G frequency in use in most locations. Telstra also uses Bands 1, 3, 7 & 8.

So the Xiomi 9 Note Pro that you are looking at will only work on 4G (and VoLTE probably won't work) where there is Bands 1, 3, or 8 available
