Carrier compatibility

This page does not list band compatibility per carrier as carriers can differ on supported bands by region. See Cellular bands for information on supported frequencies by device.

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.

This page is for general information on various carriers and their MVNO's in regards to their compatibility with Garaho phones.

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.

VoLTE whitelisting explained

Some carriers have strict phone specific whitelisting for the registration of 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.

Canada

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 so¹.

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 A202KC².

Rogers (Fido, Chatr)

Rogers and Fido are generally known to have a whitelist in place for IMS registration³. The A20XKC⁴ and KY-4XC⁵ do not seem to be on the VoLTE whitelist⁶. However the 90XKC seems to be able to register for IMS⁷. This may be due to SoC differences.
