  • Because you bought your phone in the USA, and because “international” phones are not sold by USA carriers because that is how manufacturers create separate markets for smartphones and connected devices, you are very unlikely to have a phone that can work at all in Asia, Australia, half of Europe, South America, and Africa. There are even some incompatible bands between Canada and USA.

    What people are trying to tell you is that unless you bought an explicitly “international” smartphone, your phone will be locked at the baseband level, meaning it won’t connect in the above mentions regions over LTE.

    That means you’ll be likely restricted to WiFi only in those areas.
