I recently changed from the major carriers to JMP.chat (and now USMobile) because my carrier randomly decided a Pixel5 can’t work on their network. But if I buy a Pixel 5 from them, it works.
JMP.chat pipes your SMS into XMPP, which is awesome, for $5/mo, including phone calls. I just use USMobile for a data connection now.
Yes, but if a phone isn’t on AT&Ts whitelist you can’t even get a data connection. It’s bs for sure (the phone can use the same bands), but it means you can’t register it with AT&T, and I’m not going back on anything like sprint.
I’d seriously add the song xperia vi into that consideration. Solid audio and screen.
Looooove the battery life on the Xperia 1 VI, very good even on 5G. Just a shame it’s so expensive
Does depend on your carrier though. AT&T is pretty much off the table, it’s not whitelisted.

VI isn’t on LineageOS, only V is.
Still good enough, unique shape (nicer in hand), solid build, good-ish snappers.
