If you have a handset that only works on 2G and 3G frequencies, don’t bother buying a SIM card from DITO Telecommunity. The third telco in the Philippines only operates on 4G and 5G frequencies.

Specifically, you need to check if your phone’s specifications mention compatibility of the following bands that are licensed to DITO:

• 700MHz Band 28
• 2000MHz Band 34
• 2100MHz Band 1
• 2500MHz Band 41 LTE/LTE-A/LTE-A Pro
• 3300MHz Band 52
• 3500MHz Band n78 5G

Also worth mentioning is that not all cell sites of DITO Telecommunity use these frequencies. And if you’re using a Nokia 3310 or any other legacy phone, you can forget about DITO.

That said, the company’s initial list of compatible handsets enumerates a variety of phones. There are the expected high-end devices from Samsung and Huawei, such as Galaxy the S20 series and Mate 40 series. But there are also more affordable, compatible units from Vivo, OPPO, Cherry Mobile, and more.
