Hey so now that TMobile owns sprint or the other way around does that mean we can use it on that network now ??? Any body know
Just wanted to add this somewhere because I couldn't find this info anywhere and took a punt ordering one, without knowing if it would work!! I'm not sure how to incorporate it properly because this breaks wiki style rules and I am new to Pine64 culture
Carrier Support in Australia
I am using a PinePhone in regional Victoria with Amaysim, and SMS worked. Phone picked up 2G, 3G and 4G (haven't tested mobile data). Phone calls worked with scratchy sound. An OS crash caused some glitches (lost the call but it was still connected somehow...) - but the issues were just software issues that will be worked out as the OS matures, the hardware seems to all work fine.
Amaysim uses the Optus 4G network - in Australia, there are three main networks (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone) and the others generally resell access to either of those two.
Amaysim says that the Optus network uses: 700MHz; 1800MHz; 2100MHz; and 2600MHz. see https://www.amaysim.com.au/help/mobile/getting-started/is-my-device-compatible
There's an extra step to connect to a "hotspot" in order to use mobile data - there are separate hotspots for "iPhone" and "non-iPhone". Choose the non-iPhone one. (see here: https://www.amaysim.com.au/help/mobile/getting-started/manage-internet-settings-mobile-phone )
