Ok, I'll bite. Here's what I want:
1. make phone calls with bog standard reliability with a Verizon account
2. receive and send texts
3. take pictures with the phone's camera
4. have a bog standard virtual keyboard
5. read Wikipedia
Can PostmarketOS achieve this on some piece of ubiquitous hardware? If so, which one?
- aidenn0 4y agoMy understanding is the current state is "yes on 3G, but no on LTE" which means (depending on where you live) the actual answer may be "no."
- jamesgeck0 4y agoUnfortunately Verizon is disabling their 3G network at the end of the year.
- CameronNemo 4y agoHave you considered jmp.chat? You'll never have to worry about VoLTE, WiFi calling, or 3G decomissioning again.
- jancsika 4y ago> In case it’s been a while since you checked out JMP, here’s a refresher: JMP lets you send and receive text and picture messages (and calls) Even for $2.99, I'm suspicious about those parentheses! :) How is the call quality? What's the latency like?
- CameronNemo 4y agoCall quality is meh and latency is not that bad.
- jancsika 4y agoIf it isn't "bog standard reliability" then it's simply not usable as a phone replacement.
