From the list of 10 or more countries/locations - the United States is the only option that works.
Why would you populate this list if the other regions don't work?

Hi gsuttie, thanks for your question!
All but our telephony solutions work in every region listed when creating a resource. You can still take advantage of calling, chat, and network traversal without the Data Location being set to US.
Azure Communication Services is a global service. When you create an Azure Communication Services resource you select a Data Location, that indicates where your data will be stored at rest. In order to keeps communications low latency, calls might be mixed and routed in a region that is different than the Data Location you selected. You can learn more about data handling here.
