Sim cards and carriers, discussion

[rocket2nfinity]

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.

Can you provide any assistance for settings? We are hoping to try US Mobile but initial SIM install and activation and have occasional text, no phone.

I use US Mobile for my PP. SIM card works and they have low monthly plans. This was the only carrier I found to work.

Did you have to use a 'dummy' phone? Can't get it to work with ours.

For US Mobile Black SIM APN is vzwinternet

You have to register it with an android phone, then transfer the SIM to your Pinephone
