my question is more of how people find mints data harvesting to be. from my limited research i found cape which seems to be the most private phone company and then others that are a lil less, but a lil less pricy as well. from a surface level mint seems to be very good considering the prices but of course, those who have used it would know best.
im basically in the process of de-googling and getting some semblance of privacy back largely in part because of the major push for “Real-ID” and this is my way of fighting it. i got the computer stuff down as well as one can have private internet but the phone is new to me so any input would be helpful
One downside for Mint is RCS doesn’t work properly with T-Mobile carriers as they require more privileged access. GOS has talked about maybe providing a toggle to allow this like they do with Android Auto.
Or just switch to Signal
RCS worked fine with Mint on stock android in my experience. No go on GrapheneOS obviously.
Hi OP, I have Mint and use GrapheneOS. No real issues to report related to Mint.
That’s actually interesting because Google’s MVNO is on T-Mobile and Google was pushing hard for RCS.
I can’t imagine Google is losing sleep over this being an issue for GOS users. If anything I’d assume anything that could get people to switch back to stock is what they want.
I’m not losing any sleep over RCS, I assume that the state is just recording EVERYTHING sub-Signal-level paranoid (and possibly super) and act accordingly. Idk too many people who SMS these days, its mostly automated transactional shit from companies and I guarantee you none of those providers bother implementing RCS.
