I just beat this for the first time as well. Please keep us up to date on your Zelda saga. I look forwards to see your reaction to OoT.

There are no open connections around me unless they have an agreement with a cell carier

100% streaming on the web

TV left offline. Small computer(I use linux) attached. Wireless keyboard with a trackpad.

I’ve been doing this for years.

Thank you for your response on this. I’ll dig in a bit to see if this will work or not.

From what I can find Verizon supports n77 , n260, n26, n2, n5, n66.

The listed Specs for the Zenphone 10 shows the following.

US version DC-HSPA+ (DL/UL): 42Mbps / 5.76Mbps ; LTE 7CA (DL/UL) 2.0Gbps / 211Mbps 5G NR FR1 (DL/UL): 4.92Gbps / 0.55Gbps

5G Non-Standalone (NSA): n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n38, n40, n41, n66, n71, n77, n78

5G Standalone (SA): n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n38, n40, n41, n66, n71, n77, n78

FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 30, 66, 71)

TD-LTE (Bands 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

WCDMA (Bands 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 19)

EDGE/GPRS/GSM (2, 3, 5, 8)

Does that seem like enough overlap?

Thank you for your response. Did you have any issues with 5g on any of these phones?

If thats the case then this just made my day! I’m not really sure how to verify that it works without buying one, but I guess I can do some reading.

Verizon. It sounds like they specifically don’t have the 13 band.

So I’m not personally locked into CDMA vs gsm, its just that the carrier appears to be. The exact quote from the device page is

“[US Version] Compatible with GSM Networks including AT&T, T-Mobile and MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) who utilize AT&T and T Mobile networks. This device is not compatible with CDMA Networks such as: Verizon, Sprint and US Cellular”

Looking at it more, it sounds like the problem is specifically the 13 band not being supported by the device.

Its not that I want it. Its what my carrier uses. I would consider changing, but I’d have to get my family to cone with me.
