bought like they have the regular version at NUMBER_TOKEN and the convergence version at NUMBER_TOKEN and those are already things and they started years later and they got done faster like it just seems not the best option plus also purism started the awesome nvno reseller service where the cost of the mobile service is twice the price of the network that they piggyback off of but if that's not enough you don't legally own the phone number on the service like there are laws in the united states that uh guarantee ownership of phone numbers from mobile carriers but the way that purism structure that mvno it looks like they don't apply i'm not a lawyer so i don't have any idea really but the way it's worded it kind of doesn't look like it is but again i don't know i'm just some guy on the internet now if these reasons aren't enough for you to have an issue with purism in your opinion maybe the refusal to give refunds could do it because purism claims they are now offering refunds but not too long ago they were outright denying refunds one customer informed me that they were told that they couldn't get a refund until their shipping date was confirmed what does that mean why would you need to have a shipping date for something you're not going to ship that doesn't make any sense and another customer told me actually they posted on reddit NUMBER_TOKEN and a purism forum that they had to contact their state attorney to get them to issue a refund what why would you have to do that it's because you know it's not legal to say you can't have a refund in the us anyway it's not legal to do that so they contacted their state attorney to get them to send a letter to make purism give them the refund that shouldn't have to be necessary so there's these all these different things just cr paint a very bad light on purism to me and i'm gonna end the topic here let me know what you thought what your thoughts are on this topic and i know that some will agree with me and some will disagree with me uh that's a guarantee for this kind of thing but i'm curious do you think purism's delays and the price increases are justified or do you think that purism is kind of a joke at this point let me know what your thoughts are in the comments below i'd love to know what you what you think about this particular topic and also how i covered the topic in the show was i too opinionated or not enough what you know i think i gave you like i also tried to give a lot of history but i didn't want to go into the super amount of details because there's a lot of different issues that come come across the the time frame but if you're interested in knowing more i guess i could make a video about the purism libramNUMBER_TOKEN experience or the history of it or whatever and if you want the more details and that kind of thing because that it's a lot of details that are scattered across many different websites and i know these things because i've been paying attention for years about it so if you want a video about that let me know in the comments below for that too you'd like to learn more about this topic links in the show notes this episode of this week in linux is brought to you by
