I bought a refurbished Pixel 6 Pro, carrier unlocked, for around $250. I also switched to an MVNO called Tello, and couldn't be happier. If I should need to switch carriers, it's going to be to another MVNO. I'm done with the major carriers.

    Another good MVNO, for privacy, is Phreeli. Louis Rossmann (on YT) created a MVNO which collects no data from you, you can even pay cash-by-mail anonymously and with crypto.

    Pretty straight forward value proposition: You pay and they provide phone services, don't sell your data and design their systems around not collecting your data in the first place or, if collected (like payment information) is used for the transactions and deleted.

    The only information you provide is a zip code (optional, but ties the phone into your area's 911 system if you're into that kind of thing)

    I am not an ad bot(OR AM I?)
