Ive been using google's services since 2017-2018, now its time to finally depart from that. I just got it in the mail yesterday and I'm already in love with it. So much lighter and easier to carry than my samsung galaxy. Gonna transfer everything over in a sim card, switch to Tmobile and ill be good to go. ๐Ÿ˜

my xiaomi has been a pain in the ass. i need a phone number to request an unlock from xiaomi, but none of the us carriers will let it on the network anymore; or at least long enough to let it have a number that i can use for xiaomi registration.

Dang that's unfortunate. I thought t-mobile and atnt network bring your own phone type services will work, as long as they provide a microsim or esim.

It used to work, but T-Mobile made a huge update to thier blacklist and it was clear that it was targeted at Chinese branded phones, but not the ones that share hardware w other brands like Oppo.
