[00:13] I can't imagine the OS matters. You can put a SIM in a laptop to get online even. [00:22] so, as someone who knows nothing, I can buy any Linux phone verified to be good in 2020 (ie, a recently made one) and EXPECT Verizon and AT&T to support it? [00:22] I know that carriers have "discontinued" lists, I'm not asking about that category tho [02:19] AT&T should be fine, GSM is used everywhere. I would verify some of the individual bands the phone uses are available in your country. Verizon might be trickier, I may have heard they have a whitelist of devices, also they're CDMA which is not as friendly. [02:20] Similarly to AT&T, any other GSM network, such as T-Mobile (or something that uses the towers of one of the former two networks) should work fine. [02:21] Verizon might be fine, I just don't know myself, and I would be at least a little worried if you were planning to go with them. Do they use SIM cards yet? [02:22] When I get a new phone (I'm on AT&T) I can just move over my SIM and it works fine. I don't have to go talk to anyone, they don't care what phone I have. I believe all GSM networks should work this way.
