Been putting a lot of work into degoogling my life, and I’m looking to move to GrapheneOS at some point in future. Still a total noob when it comes to tech, but more to the point…

I’ve been a Google Fi subscriber for a few years at this point, and was always a fan of how strong the cell service is. Now that I’m trying to drop google wherever possible, I feel kinda lost when it comes to what cell provider to switch over to. I feel like most everyone I’ve spoken to has a laundry list of complaints about their providers having terrible cell coverage or overpriced data rates. What do you people use for cell service? What’s the best option if I’m looking for security and privacy as well as a decently strong cell coverage?

    Like Google Fi, it’s a VoIP (voice over internet protocol) service so coverage should be the same as Fi.

    Strictly speaking Google Fi is a MVNO. After losing Sprint/US Cellular access a while back nowadays they are a T-Mobile reseller e.g. you’re getting access to T-Mobile’s network and coverage with Google Fi.

    For what it’s worth my Google Voice phone number does show up as being classified as a VoIP number so that might be more along the lines of what you’re thinking. The phone number I have on Google Fi does not show up as VoIP.
