regrettable for you but it will probably work on AT&T, not the best.

Thanks for explaining, Bill.

It is odd, though: when mobiles started there seemed to be 3 types of network (or was it simply 3 frequencies?) and you could buy devices in the UK that would cover all three. I think that there are 4-band devices available now.

I find it very difficult to understand why the USA hasn't continued along that route. Come to think of it, I don’t know if my iPhone SE would work everywhere in the USA.

Chris,

Welcome to the free market economy. In our ongoing move to fascism, where the government is owned by private businesses. Our governmental agencies that are responsible for standardization have allowed two different kinds of cell phones to be sold, like AM and FM radio. So, if you go from AT&T to T-Mobile or something similar, your phone won't work. I suspect that the carriers like it that way because when you change carriers, they can sell you a new phone, or lock you into an eternal lease.

I’m confused, Ken. Why did you have to get a new mobile phone on changing your carrier?
