No longer using a traditional phone carrier. I bought a used phone with cash and did the rest paying with Bitcoin. I've set up my new phone to work by using CalyxOS, a silent. link eSIM, and the XMPP protocol. The instructions I used to use XMPP (via JMP. chat & Cheogram) are here:

I'm sure there will be lots of headaches, but so far I've been able to use it as a daily driver and spend less than I did with my old phone plan.
