I'm using a 9 year old phone rn now and I've got zoomers oooing over its "minimal" design (lol it's just old). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] janus2@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago (1 child) I had the perfect phone. Sony XZ2 Compact. released in 2018 so not even that old 5" screen. No headphone jack, but I was honestly just glad to have a screen that small. Ran LineageOS like a dream. Then came the 3G tower shutdown. Now, the XZ2c is capable of 4G LTE calling. Lineage even had the settings option for it unlocked (as opposed to stock). So I call up my carrier and ask them to please enable 4G LTE calling for my phone so that it'll receive calls again. Turns out, the major carriers in the US decided not to support 4G LTE calling for the XZ2c. There's a line of code sitting somewhere that could be flipped to "true" and my perfect phone would work again. But no, fuck me for wanting to resist CONSOOM NOO FONE EVERY SIX MONTH.
