I dunno if it'd help but FuriLabs tries to list out which carriers they work with: https://furilabs.com/FAQ/#faq-189. Seems like a decent variety of countries.
URL as written is 404 for me, but this link works for anyone else who's interested.
Thanks for the list, it's a useful resource. Unfortunately confirms that the phone won't work for me.
Prolly gonna dox myself a bit here but it's a peculiar quirk of my country's emergency call regulations. All phones are required to be able to make an emergency call on any carrier, via roaming if necessary. This is to avoid a situation where you -think- you can call, say, an ambulance, because you can when you're in your carrier's coverage. But one day you end up out in the boonies where your phone has to roam onto another carrier to do it. That carrier -doesn't- support your phone, so you're fucked. Seems like a good idea, but the implementation is absolutely jacked, as is most tech regulation here. Functionally, it means that if -one- carrier doesn't support a phone, -no- carrier can legally support it. This kind of creates a situation where any carrier can stop another carrier from selling a phone just by blacklisting it on their own network.
I'm sure this absolutely never gets abused /s.
Ahh, I think that might be my bad; the URL – as written – doesn't work for me, either. I must've somehow triggered autocorrect or something that capitalized that "FAQ" part.
Ah, that's a shame. Heh, maybe but a basic Google search out of curiosity ended up listing the three very countries first listed in the FuriLabs link so you might be safe (at least for the fairly lazy amongst us).
Heh, I couldn't possibly ever see how…~
