Well, if you buy an unlocked phone, then it won't happen to you either. That's why I bought the Pixel from the Google Store and not through a carrier.

- ocdtrekkie 10y agoAre you sure? It seems like Android 6.0 and up has features to allow carriers to deploy code to devices with their SIM cards: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/carrier.html https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/carrier.html I am honestly unsure of the limits on this feature.
- chrisper 10y agoIt seems it just provides regular configuration stuff required for certain things. I guess they made this so that people get a good OOB experience when replacing sim cards etc.
