I want to buy a no agenda phone and put the sim from my metro by T-Mobile in it. will that just make my new pixel with graphene os a metro by T-Mobile phone. I have and iPhone 13 128gb and i want the pixel 7 128gb. so would i also need a new sim? I'm sorry guys I'm so sure this sounds so elementary.

Go easy on me

pindar We wouldn't be able to tell you if your sim is compatible, but if its not, then contact T-Mobile and they can get you one that will work. Had it happen to me with my Pixel when moving (because 5G)

pindar What do you mean by 'no agenda'?

The Pixel has an agenda, and it is to reduce carbon emissions caused by the charging adapter that used to come bundled with the device. It is Agenda 2030 and it is lead by none other than Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum.

raccoondad i have Metro by mobile and they don't offer the pixel at all. and don't do trade ins on iPhone anymore which is bullshit

If you're concerned about your carrier's data collection, here's the faq entry

If you're looking for carrier compatibility, here's the usage guide

So I was correct in thinking i just get the NA unlocked graphene phone and put my metro by tmobile sim in but if i need a nano or E-sim the carrier can provide one?

raccoondad

pindar Metro is compatible with Pixel devices, do NOT buy a carrier device (such as a pixel device from the Verizon store) as it will not work with GrapheneOS

Buy directly from Google themselves (https://store.google.com) and select no carrier in checkout (otherwise GrapheneOS will not work)

You can also buy a pixel at a store like Best Buy just make sure its not a carrier brand

pindar I bought one from Best Buy and boot loaded graphene but now I don't have cellular data or calls from my phone plan. how can I fix this

pindar

also thanks for your time with my limited knowledge. i was getting conflicting info so i wanted to talk to folks operating with one. sorry for blowing up the thread. thanks guys

pindar

raccoondad ok so im just going to buy the No Agenda Phone with Graphene preloaded and put my metro by tmobile sim in it and it should fire up right?

raccoondad

pindar IDK what a 'No Agenda Phone', if its this weird flip phone thing Some1 linked then no.

GrapheneOS can only be used by Pixel devices, if you don't have one then GOS cannot be used

[deleted] I would not trust that. OP you should buy a Pixel direct from Google or Best Buy and flash it yourself with the webUSB tool. It's easy to do and fun. Or wait for the next Pixel sale during Black History Month or the week of Juneteenth.

[deleted] I bought one from best but and installed graphene easily but who inserting my sim it recognizes it but my mobile data and calling won't work. how do I fix that?

Make some time available to start watching the videos posted on youtube created by 'Side of Burritos'. He posted for each of several different Pixel models a live recording of the entire process of installing GrapheneOS.

A year ago the price for the 6a at Target continued to drop and then hovered at $ 300; NoAgenda's fee, until it stopped selling it, was $ 473.90. My Pixel 6a and 7 purchased at b&m Targets had an unlockabled bootloader.

A few minutes ago, Bestbuy's website lists the 7a as instock at various stores in my area on sale for $ 374; NoAgenda's current fee for the 7a: $ 715.27.

Eury I bought the 374$ Best Buy one and it installed easily but my mobile service won't work on it
. like the phone recognizes the sim but says I have no data or ability to call

SPECIAL NOTE: Phones are sold without a warranty as the act of installing GrapheneOS voids it.

Pretty sure this is a lie, this NoAgenda garbage sounds like it's just a flat out scam.

Dumdum is right. There are some inaccuracies on their site. Installing GrapheneOS doesn't void the warranty.

If none of that helps, it would be helpful if you were at liberty to disclose which carrier you ate trying to use and which phone the SIM was in previously.
