This is what the original article is mostly furious about.
The way this has been implemented by at least some of the carriers is:
1. Do we sell this device AND we know you can use VoLTE to call emergency services with this: allow 2. computah says no.

A functionally equivalent iphone might be from an IMEI prefix that was not sold by that operator and denied even tho everything would work.
