That comment makes no sense to me. My friend has an imported Sony phone and it works just fine on US carriers. IDK if somethings changed recently, but I don't see why it wouldn't work unless the carrier is explicitly blocking them.
I know for example Verizon will not allow phones that don't support voice over LTE. But any modern phone that isn't dog shit should support that. But I'd hope Sony would support that.
Interesting, so that person was probably incorrectly informed!
They may not be wrong, his phone is about a year or two old so things could have changed since then.
But that said it doesn't make any sense outside of the VOLTE thing or some other feature that some carrier requires.
