I checked before I bought my Pinephone that PureTalk worked, but now I am running into issues registering on the Cell network. And I found a few posts that make me think PureTalk started whitelisting Pinephones.
So is there anyone currently using PureTalk for voice and messaging in the US? Or does anyone know for sure that they blocked Pinephones?
Thanks.
In my experience, AT&T is the one blocking PinePhones. I was kicked off 2 virtual providers that used AT&T as the backbone.
I have had issues with Verizon also.
I am currently using Patriot Mobile[1] T-Mobile (Make sure you get a T-Mobile SIM. They have both AT&T and T-Mobile)
Check the wiki for carrier support [2]
Here is the Patriot Mobile APN settings [3]

I appreciate the insight. PureTalk is a reseller for AT&T.
I just recently tried changing my PP IMEI to one that I know is good for PureTalk. But still no luck getting it to register on the cell network.
I checked the carrier support WIKI previously, it lists AT&T as good. I also read several posts saying that PureTalk works.
Not really looking to change carriers, so for now I will continue testing and troubleshooting.
