+====== Carrier compatibility ======
-This page lists carrier compatibility by country.
+<note info>This page does not list band compatibility per carrier as carriers can differ on supported bands by region. See [[radio_bands|]] for information on supported frequencies by device.
-If your provider is not listed, they are likely an [[wp>MVNO]]. This means that they use the network of a larger carrier. This page lists major carriers and relevant MVNO's. If your MVNO is not listed, look up which network they are based on and reference it with the provided info here. Please be aware that MVNO's can differ on connectivity.
+Additionally, if you are looking into a particular device's compatibility on a network, see if the phone has a dedicated page on the subject before reading this page as compatibility may differ by device.
+</note>
-Please double check your city filtering by a provider and by 4G on Cellmapper: https://www.cellmapper.net/
+This page is for general information on various carriers and their [[wp>MVNO]]'s in regards to their compatibility with Garaho phones.
-Bands that carriers use can differ between cities on occasion, and especially outside of cities.
+Some carriers employee whitelists for using VoLTE (4G phone calls), which can cause a non whitelisted phones to not be able to make calls. This and other carrier specific information may be found on this page.
-✓✓ = Very Compatible
+===== VoLTE whitelisting explained =====
-✓ = Compatible
+Some carriers have strict phone specific whitelisting for the registration of [[wp>IP_Multimedia_Subsystem|IMS]]. Without IMS VoLTE will not work. VoLTE is how calls function over a 4G network and so with many countries undergoing a 3G shutdown some carriers no longer support calls at all on some devices.
-~ = Some Compatibility
+==== Canada ====
-× = Incompatible
+Currently in Canada 3G is being phased out, with some carriers already having phased it out of their networks, and the rest are in the process of doing so[(https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/phone/mobile/3g.htm)].
-? = Unknown
+=== Telus (Koodo, Public Mobile) ===
+Telus and their MVNO's do not seem to have a whitelist in place, and IMS has been found to be registered on the A202KC[(https://www.reddit.com/r/dumbphones/comments/1gxfrh9/kyocera_digno_a202kc_working_canada_koodo/)].

+Rogers and Fido are generally known to have a whitelist in place for IMS registration[(https://www.reddit.com/r/FidoMobile/comments/1lv86j9/lte_vs_volte_and_whitelisting/)]. The A20XKC[(https://discord.com/channels/1448460944626684047/1504227896011522080)] and KY-4XC[(https://discord.com/channels/1448460944626684047/1448460945323196569/1517277429075546212)] do not seem to be on the VoLTE whitelist[(https://discord.com/channels/1448460944626684047/1483296895504875591)].
