Sim cards and carriers, discussion

[bcnaz]

Has anyone been able to get a Verizon or Verizon MVNO sim card to be recognized by the Pine phone ?

I guess 'plainenough' did get one going with the help from a Verizon employee at the retail store, but that seems to be the only one..?

So far in the US  it seems just AT&T and T-Mobile and their MVNO's are the carriers who have sim cards that work in the Pine phones.

US Mobile (not US Cellular) is a MVNO under their "Super LTE" branding and I have working calls, sms, and LTE. Tested under Manjaro Beta1 with the new modem firmware.

  IS  US Mobile a Verizon MVNO ?

Then there is only 4g LTE available ?   I believe Verizon has dropped all support for 3g  ?

Using Simple Mobile (MVNO) service :

My PMOS Convergent phone running the Mobian Oct 22 nightly

The data hot spot works great,  I am using my laptop via the pine phone.

Much snappier this way than the onboard browser  !  And a much better screen to navigate...

SMS text works good,  current nightly still has issues with 'sound settings' for voice calls.
