How To Know if Your Phone Is Compatible With Faiba SIM Card | List of All Phones

Smartphones Compatible with Faiba:Faiba is one of the best voice and data provider network in the country. However if you are planning to buy a Faiba SIM card, it is important to find out if your mobile device is compatible with Faiba and  can support the FAIBA Network.

There are two factors that will determine whether you can use your Faiba SIM Card on your phone or Not.

Determinant Factors For Faiba Compatibility with your Phone

One of the factors that will determine the compatibility of your mobile handset with Faiba is Connectivity. Faiba runs on the latest 4G network. Therefore your smartphone should be 4G lite enabled for the network to function on your phone.

The second and most important factor is the  Frequency Spectrum of your smartphone.

In Kenya, the Communication Authority is the one that regulates and licences firms to use different parts of the spectrum. Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom Kenya have licenses to operate their 4G networks under BAND 20 (800MHZ) and BAND 2 (1800MHZ). And for the first time a mobile network has been given the BAND 28 (700MHZ), which is seen as the best band since it is good for rural areas and good for crowded areas as it penetrates buildings really well.

Most mobile phone devices on the Kenyan market don’t support the BAND 28 (700MHZ) range on which Faiba 4G operates. Most phone manufacturers have never added support for this as many Mobile Network Providers around the regions (and the world in general) haven’t been operating on this spectrum.

As a result most gadgets on the Kenyan market are locked out on Faiba Network compatibility. For your phone to be compatible with Faiba Network it must support the BAND 28 which is equivalent to 700HZ frequency that Faiba operates on. Unfortunately their is no settings to switch to the BAND 28. You are required to replace your gadget to be able to enjoy these.
