Your frequency check link is to a TD-LTE edition which is designed for the Asian market. We work in FDD-LTE here. The Asian models also use different frequencies for 3G. The only compatibility is on 2G which this service does not offer. That said, the model you linked on Amazon is labled as global version. Whenever I see B4 LTE, I think of North America compatibility as this band is only used here and I think a few South American countries.
If you feel uncomfortable with going by the details on the web page, post a question and see if other customers can weigh in and give you greater assurance. Alternatively, if you are willing to pay a bit more you can go with the Redmi Note 5 AI model that is provided in the community forum link in my earlier post. The extra cost is well worth it. The Note 6 designation does not make it better than the Note 5 AI which was released only 4 months ago. The Note 5 AI is a premium edition that uses the snapdragon 636 CPU instead of a mediatek CPU intended for the North American market. Mediatek models are usually intended for local consumption as a ultra lost cost option. If you look closely at the specs, the screen is not even full HD. The cameras on the AI are way better and crucially it comes with a 4000 mAh battery that yields over 10 hours of SOT between charges.
