I am trying to set up a plan with a smaller carrier, but I have a feeling that since they are not on Google’s allowlist (even though I live in Canada), they will not let me use 5G with them. The Pixel watch supported carrier list also makes no sense, because for some reason the new carriers for the watch 2 don’t support the first version? I was thinking about switching to Samsung, but it seems they also pull off shenanigans in the way of region locking. Why are these practices in place?
This seems very weird, as it shouldn’t matter at all. Are you talking about eSIM support, or just 5G?
They may be something with different wavelengths for 5G, but I’m not the right one to answer on that one.
eSIM works, but 5G doesn’t work.
