How are folks using the Pinephone (sim swapping?)
#5
Minus 1 week.
Due to government regulation (not "covid"/common cold, restrictions never had to do with that), it has become very hard to get myself a second SIM card.
Because I can visit a Softbank store, but they demand me to muzzle myself or they refuse assistance.

The other option is to have a SIM card shipped to me, the first time the bots were "unable" to "human verify" my government issued ID 8 times in a row, so they ended up just cancelling my order.
The second time they managed to read the same ID card, but refused to deliver again because the post office put 1 character of my name incorrectly on the label of the enveloppe.
Now we're in the 3rd attempt and will be delivered tomorrow, and I hope they finally fixed all the problems already.

I still have my iPhone, Nexus 5, Pixel phone, Lumia phone, and Kyocera Digmo garake, running iOS 13, UBPorts, Android 9, Windows 10, and stock degoogled Android 6 respectively.
iPhone and Pixel phone are for whatever I can't use on the Pinephone, and I leave them at home, and the iPhone serves as a backup plan in case the Pinephone turns out to be not functional enough (it's still in development software after all).
The garake is for TV, since it has a TV tuner inside which allows me to watch live TV even without internet.
And the other 2 are just because I already had them, and are just fun to toy around with.
