    Support for a device on each cellular provider isn’t automatic. There is are certification and approval steps that cost them money upfront.

    Charging fees is unlikely to recuperate their network engineer costs so from a consumer perspective it’ll look like blocking but that’s not the reality. It’s that the device wouldn’t be in their supported device list.
