Not so much in terms of 5G standards, but rather what frequencies (or bands) your provider uses. ATT uses specific bands and it it not very common for other carriers to have all the same bands in their network. This device is cheaper because the bands on this device are specific to ATT, and is much fewer compared to an unlocked device like an MR6150 or MR6550.
