What's band 13 and why do you need it? I've used my FP4 in Canada in the past without issue.

It's 700-something MHz, a long range / deep building penetration band used by Freedom Mobile. It's the only low freq band they have. The rest are high freq, shorter range bands. I'm using FP6 on Freedom and it works but the experience is like it used to be before they acquired and deployed band 13. Lower or no coverage indoors, more spots without coverage outside the urban core, higher power consumption as the radio has to use higher power to reach the towers. None of that's a problem on ROBeLUS cause they have plenty low freq bands that are supported by the FP. So FP on Freedom is fine but not ideal.

It's the only reason why we don't pay double for our service at the moment.
