AT&T has this feature (they call it "outcall notification") and it's real handy since I can leave the phone off most of the time and be notified with a simple receive-only pager if someone leaves a message. (That feature is one of the reasons I've stayed with AT&T and its predecessors for nearly 30 years now for cell phone service, despite them being more expensive than competitors.)

What about when phones use their cellular data connection for internet hot-spots? Basically any kind of device or browser might be connecting through the provider's network in that situation. How would AT&T distinguish between a Pinephone browser reporting that it's running on a Linux computer and any number of other devices that might be connected via the hot-spot reporting the same thing?

Yep, I mention this in my instructions for adding Chromium and freezing and changing the user agent. Desktop data packets can go against your hotspot data limit if you have one. It can get you disconnected if you don't have a hotspot plan. It will get you looked at if all your packets are desktop instead of mobile all the time. They will thing it's being used for main WIFI. Best to follow those instructions and make sure your user agent isn't leaking with certain carriers and plans. I think that's whats getting people busted on Cricket. They either aren't paying the $10 a month for the hotspot or they are going over their 10GB allotment if they have it. It wouldn't be hard to do it you stream YouTube all day.

Reason: I have 3 Sony phones. 2 on Cricket and 1 on Faith wireless. All 3 will not work on Cricket anymore. Only the 2 older ones currently on Cricket will not work on Faith wireless. The newer one currently on Faith wireless still checks out OK on Faith wireless. I will buy a Pine Phone if it will work on Faith wireless.
