Fairphone user here

Hi,

I’m not living in USA (Switzerland), but a Fairphone 4 user too…

I will be travelling to Montreal / Canada this summer, and maybe spend 1 or 2 days in the neighboring New York State.

Do Fairphone devices work well in north America? Is the Fairphone 4 compatible with American 5G networks as well?

Thank you very much!

Tmobile seems to be working fine. I heard att and vrrizon may have problems with 5g coverage.

If you need more data points … https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fairphone-owners-in-the-usa-fp2-fp3-fp4/5083 (for Fairphone 4 experiences perhaps begin browsing through it from the end)

Thank you very much.
In brief: In USA, seems FP4 works well on /e/OS (and LOS) as some troubles with VoLTE / VoWiFi are experienced on stock Fairphone OS…

Hi, I’m in the Boston area running a Teracube 2e I purchased from Murena with /e/OS pre-installed. I was interested in a Fairphone but didn’t have the courage to figure it all out on my own. Maybe if I get too frustrated with the Teracube I’ll ping this group about how to get a FP and how to install /e/OS on it. The Teracube’s camera is pretty bad and the processor is pretty slow, but it gets me in the /e/OS door.
