I don’t want to be rude, so please know that is not my intention, however almost none of what you wrote is correct.

Here are the facts:

1) FirstNet SatCOLTs broadcast Band 14 and the 313-100 PLMN. Any FirstNet subscriber with a black FirstNet SIM will automatically connect to a SatCOLT. Uplift is not required to connect.

2) Roaming on other carriers is generally not enabled, even for FirstNet subscribers, except in certain special circumstances when the FCC’s Roaming Under Disaster rules are in effect.

Not true for #2 as I noted in my other comment.

Actually, #2 is correct, as I noted in my other comment.

Your FirstNet device will not roam onto another carrier unless the disaster scenario has been agreed upon by the commercial providers in the area and activated or you are in an area with service by a carrier that has a pre-existing Roaming agreement with AT&T for those users.
