[β] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 months ago (4 children) Any carriers in US yet? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] LodeMike@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago* (3 children) What's up with the carriers? Surely one of the big three have antennas on some channels that the phone have. Surely you can just pay 4x the cost to a reseller on that channel. (In the U.S. the big 3 have to sell their antenna time, it's where all the other carriers are). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [β] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago (2 children) I'm not aware of any carrier that allows Postmarket. I have e/OS and there is only one service supporting that. I think Mint Mobile supports some of the alt OSs unofficially. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 point 4 months ago (1 child) Does the carrier somehow see your OS? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [β] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 4 months ago* I don't recall the exact specifics, but there are limitations. One I think is the support for certain bands. There is an issue with VOLTE requirements, an example you can read about here, although I do not understand what it is. (Sorry for Gitlab lnk.) I've seen it show up on phones where the 4G and 5G indicators are located. Not sure about graphene. I don't think anyone can use most of the Linux OSs here. Graphene seems to do well but you have to buy a Google phone. I use e/OS and as far as I know as of Dec 2025 only Murena and Mint Mobile will support it in the US. permalink fedilink source parent
