Apparently Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou don't count, because the backups for this backbone of the global economy have to be American?

I do wonder how many of these are supported by common hardware like mobile phones, anybody have a pointer to a compatibility list? I know the Chinese government had been prodding its manufacturers to add BeiDou support pretty hard.
