Many phones come in different versions and the version for, say, China may
support different bands from the one for Europe or the US.
Even if a phone doesn't support any particular band, there are public
databases that tell you what towers are in any given area.

Also, there's roaming, which enables data on multiple carriers I think:

Anyone can also ask their phone what bands it supports like I did here:

<https://i.postimg.cc/ZKnwPGQ0/bands02.jpg> Hidden Band-Selection Activity
<https://i.postimg.cc/L5CZHt2k/bands03.jpg> Band selection options
<https://i.postimg.cc/dVQJkL02/bands05.jpg> T-Mo LTE bands San Jose
It turns out that the phone I bought was badly advertised and was NOT a 5G model.
I have returned it to the seller, which BTW is very easy on eBay.
