The telematics unit probably has most of not all the bands needed for worldwide coverage, but BMW “probably” has contracts with individual countries phone providers. My guess is that those members on this board that have managed to get it working did so because a BMW engineer modified their account to communicate with BMWs network using a roaming profile. It’s probably a pain in the ass and may mean extra expense for BMW. It is easier for them to just say it cant be done and to remind the buyer that they signed a waiver. Such is life I guess.
