They will work outside of Europe according to their website. Also it says on the website:
The initial sales markets are EU, UK, Switzerland and Norway. Entering other markets, such as the U.S. and Canada are to be decided due course based on potential interest from the areas.
We will design the cellular band configuration to enable potential future markets, including major U.S. carrier networks.
does VoLTE work? Basically all carriers in the us use this and we knocked down all of the old tech towers. My understanding is the EU still has all the old towers up for just voice calls and don’t need VoLTE to work.
Quick web search suggests it is a “beta” feature at best currently :(
In the EU VoLTE seems to work with most providers but there are issues with some providers. I think the sailfish OS forum has a compatibility list. Not sure how the situation is in the US as, this does depend on providers.
Ordered a Jolla phone with their SailfishOs (linux based). Time to leave android
Would these work outside of Europe, say in the U.S. or Canada?
Possibly at a base level, but not well. Most US carriers have a white list of devices certified to use their networks.
