Now I just wish that they would bring their phone to a US provider that is not T-Mobile. I can't buy their phone until it runs on a network that I can use.
Jesus your country is so messed up :(
wat? you cannot buy the phone and then choose the provider yourself?
Yeah most phones in the us are locked to a network. Some of them are unlocked to certain network vendors but won't work with others (for example if a phone works on Verizon its a near guarantee even if its an unlocked phone it won't work on any other networks)
It is a pretty simple thing to look up the bands that the phone supports. All of the providers publish the bands that they work on. This is not difficult. This is a manufactured problem.
It's true. Its not a coincidence the most hostile telecom (Verizon) is also the one that had a former CEO as chairman of the FCC during the Trump administration. It would be very easy for OEMs to introduce more multiband phones to the market but Verizon has some sweet licensing deals on their network brands.
It's mega gross!
Can you not buy the phone and then get whatever sim you want?
