Okay I think I got a way to salvage this.What I'll do is just setup like a pbx system in my house and connect it to the phone network somehow... will need to look more into that.Stop paying for this sim in the pixel. Because it's basically not going to work or it's not going to be cost effective to fix. Use graphene as a glorified ipod touch.If I'm out and about and need to make a call. I can just use my feature phone with a pre paid sim.

@splitshockvirus why not swap to a better carrier? I've never had an issue with Verizon or tmobile

@splitshockvirus I don't use a smart phone (much) and I no longer have a phone plan. I switched to phone.com as a provider and use their web app to do most of my texts and calls. I use a #corebootbook when traveling and that handles phone calls fine in most situations. Got a US Cellular hotspot with internet only. No phone plan, no contract. It has mostly been working well for me. I do often carry a Samsung Galaxy S5 with @e_mydata on it, which is a #privacy focused version of Android. I have the phone.com app on that and sometimes use it to make calls but usually use my #corebootbook I did end up using the maps and gps features to get to a hard to find place today, but most of the time I have the GPS turned off and the Samsung Galaxy in airplane mode.

@ducky Verizon is the only one I can try next, but I'm not willing to pay what they are asking for service. My MVNO provider is already on T-Mobile's network and I even have a prepaid from T-Mobile.Also I don't think even Verizon has coverage on my block I think the only provider that has cell coverage is AT&T and they refuse to activate my devices.

@splitshockvirus I make the vast majority of my calls from my desktop computer with a USB headset. Best new tech purchase I have made in a long time (I usually buy almost everything used). Texting from a full desktop mechanical keyboard is also so much better then from a phone that I rarely use the Samsung Galaxy S5 for texting.

@retroedgetech @splitshockvirus That one Youtuber with a beard did a video about setting up a pbx at home. Maybe his name was Chuck?

@syscrash @retroedgetech 3CX looks easy AF to do on prem but it's proprietary If I was to use it I think I'd rather do an AWS instance.
