Only in your country. Here they come from 2 or 3 networks and in
France & Germany I believe you can buy them unlocked, as that option
is required by law.

Do not mistake a local peculiarity of your market for an attribute of
the device.

AT&T don't even operate here. The rest of the world has a grown-up
cell network based on GSM; only the USA is a backwater with a
Balkanised network of incompatible vendor-locked CDMA regions.
