I believe the SIM supports all kinds of rules for what networks and xG should be visible to the user. I know for a fact a local network has 3G here, but it’s not exposed on my phone to choose, presumably because it knows there’s 4G and 5G and carriers don’t want some dolt camping on 3G and eating more mhz/bit. I used to camp on 3G because Canada sent out too many dumb “emergency alerts” for custody disputes 1000km away, but those only operated over LTE, not 3G. People don’t believe me when I say you can see, and sometimes connect to, US networks from a tall building in Toronto from over the lake because Canadian SIMs have rules/conditions to hide them, but if you put in an overseas SIM, you’ll see them on a scan. Have also had a world of a time with a French SIM refuse to connect to a Canadian tower because it really preferred the US towers (lower roaming costs maybe?).
