Hey guys and girls,
My name is daniel, i'm from israel.
I'm not a technical user, but the idea of free and open source software is deep in my heart and i believe in it
I dream about having an foss phone and from time to time i check on the internet about the progress the different projects are doing in this field...
I'm checking out the pinephone pro and i'm very curios
First of all will it work in Israel? i couldn't find any information about the worldwide compatibility
Second of all, i'm a really minimal phone user
I can use my bank web app, i just need calling and sms and web browsing to work
And whatsapp with anbox
So what do you think, can the pinephone pro work for me?
I will be very happy to hear you opinion
Thanks in ahead!
Daniel/Dani

Regarding the carrier support you can check which bands are supported by the modem and which your carrier is using, most times this should be fine as the modem supports a wide variety of world-wide bands. I still would say that the PinePhone Pro does not suite you. WhatsApp will not be usable in Waydroid or Anbox (no sensor access, various issues, suspend, no notifications etc.) and various features such as calling are still in a very early state in the Explorer Edition. The warnings everywhere must not be taken lightheartedly, such aus:
"The PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition is aimed at Linux developers with an extensive knowledge of embedded systems and/or experience with mobile Linux."
Please make sure that you saw https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_P...e_software.
You best follow the discussions around the device in the community channels for some months before buying it prematurely, https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Main_Page#Chat_Platforms
