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. 😁

Cause we got a crazy list of blacklisted phones that these mobile providers refuse to support to decrease competition and diversity. Anything google is heavily pushed in the US market, especially in the workplace and schools. I get the 4g/5g but im more worried about their privacy issues than the bands.

    Even beyond that, most non-US phones don’t support western hemisphere bands. The EU makes some fantastic handsets, but they use modems that limit function on the other side of the pond.

    So it is purely a function of “won’t connect”.

    Although, to your privacy point, perhaps not getting signal is actually the bold move that wins.
