Not exactly, but kind of. A couple of years back AT&T decided to implement a phone white list where if the phone model you were using wasn’t on the list then it wouldn’t work on their network even if it was technologically compatible. You could bring your own device, but only if it was on that list. The phone I was using at the time (and every phone after that) was not on the list, so I switched to a carrier that did not have that restriction.
In my original comment I was being kinda lazy because I didn’t want to type the above out.

That’s insane. Didn’t know that was a thing.
As long as I pay my bill I don’t get why they should even care what phone I have.
