I’m not a techie - will these OS work even if carriers like Verizon and AT&T “ban” them?

Because you know it’s coming. China’s internet and social-media controls are the model.

You’re correct on the Verizon, AT&T etc but I can also say

I would never pay $2000.00 for a cellphone. Wife and I just got rid of our Samsung Note II’s because it wouldn’t work with Verizon after last month.
We bought a couple Moto G Power for $200.00 ea.

Good point but I believe the data packet carrier code is a uniform standard. I would think it would be difficult for large carriers to know unless they could query and in that case there could be effective countermeasures.

I do not think so. The free market rules.

About half way down the page, see Will my SIM card work... ?

They have a chart and a link to another site to look up the tech your carrier uses. It would most likely work on all the major cell networks.
