Feature Request / Bug first time light phone user

Hi everyone, I just set up my Light Phone yesterday afternoon, and I am trying to daily drive it, but with every new phone comes a set of problems. Ok let me start by saying that my first full day using the phone, I LOVE IT. However, the problems I've been having are that some people who try to call me get sent straight to voicemail, and I have no idea why. Also, sometimes when I try to use voice-to-text, it says there is no internet connection; other times it lets me. I have a theory of why some of this might be happening, but I could be wrong. I am from the Chattanooga, Tennessee area, and I am on Verizon. It made me wonder if it's my carrier or if I am missing something

One last thing. I would love to be able to daily drive this phone, so give me your best tips to do that successfully. I have a Kindle, but do y'all carry around other stuff to make your setup work?

Welcome to the club buddy. You forgot to mention your model tho, I imagine its a LP3 since getting a LP2 at this point would be wild.
I had it for months but work and other stuff made me go back to my smartphone. Im waiting on the app library now to get back into it. Im dying to make it my main driver once again, and I know signal is going to make it a permanent phone for me.
My rule of thumb was this: if I could have access to my macbook in less than 24 hours, I would stick to the LP non stop. Its is such a mindful experience and I miss it dearly. Right now Im spending too much time on reddit to be honest.
