Comment on What Phone do you guys use?

I’m on a Z Flip 😅 so nah you’re not the only one on stock Android. I want to grab a Pixel and switch to GrapheneOS, but I’ll have to wait until I can afford a new phone and when this one bites the dust since I only got it about a year ago. I unfortunately only found out about Android ROMs and got into cybersecurity shortly after I bought it

Honestly dude there are allot of compromises that come with it. You right with the system constantly at times and lose it on RCS of you rock it purely de-Google

Well I already fight with my computer constantly having switched to Linux lmao so it’s nothing new. But RCS is the one thing I’m worried about since my phone SIM is fucked up and SMS doesn’t work at all so I have to resort to Google Messages to text at all. I wonder if it’s to do with it being a virtual SIM? Or my phone being unlocked and not from the carrier? idk

It could be that your phone just doesn’t use the frequency bands supported by your carrier. For example, I recently bought a moto g84 5G and had to switch from a Verizon MVNO to a T-Mobile MVNO.

Ooh okay.. well that’s annoying lol, especially since I’m not the one in charge of the carrier plan (we switched carriers shortly after I switched phones). Thanks for the example and article link :)
