Will Check The Band And Update You

In ur cases it is showing Band 1, which is 2100 MHz which is primarily used for 3G (UMTS/HSPA) and sometimes for 4G LTE in certain regions.

So we can say same 3G network they are upgrading to 4G without any Band change.

Generally, 900 MHz is a 2G band, used by all operators in India, barring Jio.

3G is obsolete, So can be discarded except for BSNL (2100 MHz), still in use in some areas.

850 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz and 2500 MHz bands are all used for offering 4G (or) 5G NSA (non-standalone).

700 MHz, 3300 MHz and 3500 MHz bands are used for 5G SA (Standalone).

Incase of BSNL, they are using 700 MHz for 4G first. Once they refarm 2100 MHz band from 3G to 4G, they'll use the 700 MHz band to offer 5G SA as well.

850 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz and 2500 MHz bands are all used for offering 4G only
3500 is used for NSA/SA NSA for Airtel/VI(some places) and SA for Jio
