Anyone want to bet Cellular Providers will start blocking or tack on additional network fees for non-Apple/Google phones?
Fine. Wifi calling is good enough for me. VoIP never went away
I bought a CMF1 phone and flashed /e/os on it. Mostly just to run it through the ringer and see how well it works and if it really can be a daily driver. So far, so good. Phone was on sale for 125€ during the last Black Friday. Surprisingly good phone for that price. Been using it with the various privacy focused messengers for voice calls. Haven’t stuck a SIM card into it yet. Eventually I’ll try my banking apps, which might be the sticking point as I’m not sure I can get those outside the Google App Store.
Work in progress, I guess. But no problems so far.

If it has a full compliant web browser, you’d still have the bank’s desktop website available, yes? Though its possible the bank’s website may not be written with context awareness so usability may be cumbersome, but at least you’d still have access to the information.
My bank has a separate Push-Tan app that you use as 2fa for sending money for payments (i’m in the EU). While I’m sure there’s some workaround for the luddites and geezers (or us privacy respectin folk), I haven’t gotten that far yet. But I’ll report back when I do!
