🇩🇪 Funktioniert das FP3 in den USA

[Jaques]

Hallo, ich werde vorraussichtlich kommendes Jahr in die USA reisen und wollte daher fragen, ob jemand Erfahrung damit hat, wie und ob das FP3 dort funktioniert. Da ich ggf. länger dort sein werde ist die Überlegung eine SIM Karte vor Ort zu kaufen. Macht das Sinn/hat jemand Erfahrung?
Vielen Dank!

Fairphone 3 on Verizon in USA

Good afternoon, and thank you for looking at my question! I am very interested in getting the Fairphone 3 and want to make sure I am able to do so currently. While I’m in the USA I have connections where getting it to me from Europe won’t be an issue. What could be an issue is that I use Verizon for my provider.

I’ve used my UK registered FP3 in USA in New York & New Jersey. It works fine for access to the internet. I’ve used my normal UK sim card but the results are not great. Next time I go, which will not be anytime soon as the President has banned people from the UK, I’ll buy a US sim. The internet tells me that AT&T is best but I have not tried this yet. Buying sim cards in the States seems more complicated than in Europe.

Fairphone 3 on Verizon in USA

I did try this, and I’ll relay what I remember from when I tried it and then conclude with what I’m currently doing that works. VERIZON DOESN’T WORK Unboxed Fairphone, slotted my Verizon SIM in, and powered on. It looked to show that it recognized a network, but nothing would go through. Not 4G data, not call, not text. What seems to be the issue from that is that Verizon could have it work, but they don’t accept the device on their network. Maybe they do it for security, maybe they don’t have…
