Will an unlocked S23 ultra work with Koodo's 5G plan?

K

Saw a brand new unlocked S23 Ultra from walmart, was wondering if it can utilise the 5G network or will it be limited to 4G and LTE?

It should be supported on bands n66 and n78 for the 5G network.

Was it a Canadian model? That model should technically works on 5G but as it wasn't from Koodo, there's a slim chance it has other issues.

A Koodo customer, opinions are my own.

Im assuming it is a canadian model as it is from a canadian walmart, though it doesnt specify. It does say this "Samsung S23 Ultra 5G(vary based on your carrier and location) Dual Sim(international version) 512GB"

That is not the Canadian version. We will need the model number to figure out the bands and frequencies. Are you able to ask the seller?
