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. 😁

T-Mobile isn’t the place to switch to. They went evil.

The US is evil.

You're not wrong, but also, T-Mobile is still evil, and majority-owned by Deutsche Telekom, with plans to merge it and Telekom into a full German-owned property. Which by itself is pretty evil. All while also still making T-Mobile evil.

Unfortunately, they're the only phone company that we have in the states that accept phones like this. Even with what's going on with the dumbphone and Linux phones market, only choice you have is Tmobile or a carrier that is own by T-Mobile.

I've had good luck with US Mobile so far

They use a combination of ATT, Verizon and T-Mobile networks. Will still look into them of course and see if its worth it.

Not trying to shill, but I just switched FROM T-Mobile to Mint. Unlimited data, $15/mo. Same GSM network as T-Mobile with same speeds pretty much.

Works perfectly in my FairPhone 6 with /e/OS.

Mint is owned by T-Mobile I'm pretty sure, but at least for now it is a LOT more affordable. It'll probably be enshittified in the future though :(
