For those using GrapheneOS:

what carrier or mobile service do you use for calls, texts, and data? How do you organize your profiles for everyday use? Do you use multiple profiles on one phone, separate phones, or some combination of the two?

I’m especially curious whether separate profiles work well in practice with calls, SMS, notifications, and privacy, or whether having multiple devices is easier.

I use a separate work profile for all apps that use Google services. I call and SMS in my main profile which doesn't have access to Google services. Last I checked, I can't use RCS because it only works in the main profile, and it's only supported through Google message today, which obviously requ...

Verizon and just have two profiles. Main profile and then another that's more relaxed permissions to allow for normie apps like finances and stuff. I have to allow SMS in both because bank apps refuse to use proper 2FA and insist on SMS codes.

One toggle most people miss: in Settings, System, Multiple users, you can allow phone calls and SMS for secondary profiles. That fixes the "texts only hit the owner profile" problem. Also, ending a secondary profile's session fully kills its apps, which makes the sandboxed Google profile setup much ...

I don't use it over broadband. It only connects over WiFi to a mobile router which either is a Mudi or another Graphene that does nothing but provide a hotspot over an anonymous sim. Why do people need a phone number? They don't. If you are in the city you can connect over data to SimpleX. If you...
