Cellular coverage in the US often sucks with those import phones. They don't implement the same frequency bands as US-targeted phones.

- tomcooks 5y agoBefore clicking the buy button just check if the frequencies match your country and cellular provider by using a couple of sites [1], [2] [1] https://willmyphonework.net/ https://willmyphonework.net/ [2] https://www.frequencycheck.com/ https://www.frequencycheck.com/
- LeifCarrotson 5y agoI'm abundantly aware of sites on which to check the bands - I've also used https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/fairphone-4 https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/fairphone-4 in the past. I'm not claiming it's unknowable, I'm claiming it's often known to be terrible. Purism, PinePhone Pro, Fairphone, Sony Xperia, Nokia 8.3 One, and other desirable phones support maybe half of the bands I need!
