You'll find as you go not many or the privacy advocates turn down whatever Google seems to offer
I bought my Pine as my flip/minute phone has become costly and still contains BS i'd prefer to not have
But, I did get a new number until the Pine proves reliable, so far... not so much, issues seem to change day to day, I had an update on Manjaro cause it to longer boot except from the SD which I run

Google seems to invade just about everything these days. I definitely don't trust the new AT&T flip phone but it appears to not be as bad as I'd assumed. I would only use it on a temporary basis if the Pinephone was lost, damaged, or just stopped working. Would be nice to have a spare Pinephone as a fallback but money's too tight for that.
My Pinephone running Mobian has been good for a while now as far as basic functionality of making and receiving calls. I have it running from the internal drive but periodically do a full image backup so I can get back to a working setup if something goes wrong with an update.
