Importing phone

Hi so I've been looking into a couple ulefones releasing soon, the power 5 and t2 pro, I wanted to ask beforehand if they'll work on the telus network I'm in Alberta Canada, the bands are in the following links

Have you reviewed the ‘Will My Phone Work...’ article?  It should answer your questions about alternate supplier phones.

Power 5: No.

T2 Pro: 3G maybe. No LTE.

One rule of thumb is that if it has a MediaTek CPU in it, there is an extremely high chance it won't work in Canada.

I had figured they would since they list 850 for 3g and 2100 for 4g is there something I'm missing with it?

3G/HSPA/WCDMA: Band 5 (850 MHz), Band 2 (1900 MHz) Band 5 and Band 2 are not both present on all towers. Some locations have only one of the two.

LTE: Band 4 (1700 MHz / 2100 MHz), Band 29 (700 MHz) Band 4 is a paired band. Both frequencies are necessary for your phone to work. Band 29 is not present on all LTE towers.  Band 7 (2600MHz) is also not fully deployed.
