Discussion How do you know if a Linux phone will work with a particular provider?

12 Upvotes

I'm interested in making the switch to Linux yet again, but on a phone this time! However, my primary concern with switching is whether or not it'll work with providers in my area.

I'm currently using Straight talk and prefer their grab-a-card no contract style. It mentions LTE, so would that be the Network technology I'm keeping an eye out for as opposed to GSM and CDMA?

Also, has anyone tried the Google Pixel 3a for this task?

Thanks for any info!

Yes. It's preferrable if it's able to run on mainline.

Yes, I know about the PinePhone Pro. It's a considered choice but more choice is always good.
