The North American Kompakt is better optimized to work with US and Canadian carriers, while the global version should do better in other countries around the world.
However, the global Kompakt will still work in many areas across the USA and Canada. Similarly, the North American version can also be used in various other countries.
How to Buy Either Version
In our store, the North American Kompakt is by default limited to purchases from the USA and Canada, with the global version being available for all other countries that we ship to.
The only way to order the other Kompakt version than the one available in your country is for us to create a custom order for your manually. This is possible if you're aware of the differences and limitations and certain that this version would be better for your use case.
Once the order is created, you'd get a confirmation email with a payment link to complete the purchase.
