I was able to switch from unlimited data to a 3GB/month data plan when I switched to Graphene OS.

Nice! I was thinking about jmp before but read about issues with 2fa texts. My credit card still relies on 2fa texts so I am not sure if jmp would work for me.

Do you have any issues with texts from short numbers (5digit) and 2fa texts in general?

[–] starshadow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

haven't had any issues so far! but I ported my existing number and haven't tried creating any new accounts which is where I suspect most of the issues arise. most carriers give out your name and address to banks so I think jmp is targeted when you are a new customer and they want to verify you through your carrier. i have switched to a local credit union for my cards so if an issue arises I can always talk to a real human to verify my identity

Must not do much with your phone. Or you use it less after graphene.
