My cell provider of choice is TING. They have a compatibility tool that requires the ESN, MEID, or IMEI of the phone. Since I do not HAVE the phone yet, I cannot provide that.
My questions then are:
#1 have we an example number that would give me the information I need to test/predict if the PinePhone Pro will work with TING?
#2 Is anyone else in the USA using TING with this phone? If so, can you tell me a little about your experience?
i cannot directly answer these qustions, because i do not reside in the usa.
pinephone pro uses same modem chip than pinephone, e.g. eg25-g. i put pp's imei number to a website https://www.tingmobile.com/mobile/check_device , and it says "Sorry, this phone is not compatible with Ting". however, it seems that ting uses t-mobile network, what i know t-mobile has been more lenient about letting weird devices in.
(btw, ting website seems to work poorly on firefox).
