The device claims AT&T and Verizon only, I’m curious about that…

To which device are you referring?

The Fairphone 6+ is compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile in the US and their MVNOs.

Oh this is weird. They have some contradicting information.

Click on “see all tech specs” and under “compatibility” it says AT&T and Verizon.

But it lacks Verizon’s primary band and clearly can’t be used with it.

Likely because Verizon will only let "certified by Verizon" devices on their network, while AT&T and T-Mo will let pretty much anything with an LTE modem connect.
