Their website clearly says it’s not compatible with Sprint and Verizon.

No way, or at least no good way anyway.

It's got a grand total of one CDMA band, which is Verizon's big base, still.
In theory, you could use that and get *some* (i.e. mostly poor) signal on their network, since they have deployed some LTE.

I'm pretty sure I read they were blacklisting them however, smart move really, I'm sure it'd generate way more support contacts than the revenue to match.

One of these days, we'll all be on LTE, or whatever it is by then, and maybe we'll lock all the chipsets to simply support all the bands (at least for the default country), and get away from this headache.
Or maybe pigs will fly, first, who knows.

The Nexus 6P I had was just about the closest you could come (there are a couple about the same) in terms of band/frequency coverage for almost any carrier, anywhere. I'm sure there's some "one off" networks out there, and the new T-Mobile 71 is obviously outside the purview, but it truly was hard to find a place that phone wouldn't get a signal, at least for an "emergency call" (assuming there was one present).

The 5T has an impressive set of (LTE) bands, very close to the 6P, and again missing the new 71, but I'm guessing there's a more interesting reason they made that call. It would be hard to find a place you can't use it, similarly, except CDMA-only areas.
