Hello guys. It has been a while since I have posted here (hope you all are doing well)

I have a specific question regarding LTE coverage in the US compared to Europe. I'd like to be able to use iPhone 5S (t-mobile version) in Norway. The t-mobile version only has LTE band 3 (not 7) while in Norway the two dominant networks use LTE bands 3 and 7. Would 3 by itself be sufficient? Would I notice a difference by not having band 7? Thanks again

It will depend on the build out your carrier has done. You would have to somehow find out which band is more prevalent. I know most carriers in Europe originally were to deploy on Band 7 (2600MHz) but they also repurposed Band 3 spectrum. Obviously by not having the other band you will be missing coverage and capacity but it's kind of hard to tell without testing it out.
