Nope. ATT at the time the iPhone came out didn’t have a whitelist. Any unlocked phone with the right radios could be used. Which is why I used ATT for a decade or so. Then the 5G bullshit came out and suddenly ATT wouldn’t activate a phone unless they blessed it first. So now I’m on Mint which is way cheaper and I can still use any phone that’s compatible. No whitelist.

Telecoms lock out phones and say “To use our network, you must use x.”

IDK the Zune HD was vastly superior to the iPod touch and cheaper.
