I recently acquired a de-googled (murena) fp6. I am currently running it via my long time provider consumer cellular, which runs on at&t. I work a job in an incredibly remote location with no cell phone service. I acquired the phone on my week off and discovered upon returning that WiFi calling does not work here, which is important because I also have a business. I have come to understand that this is because at&t has “whitelisted” fp6. I have filed a complaint with at&t and with the fcc, but I don’t expect that to change anything.
I’m not a techy person, but after dedicating a lot of time to finding workarounds I have come up with 3 options and hit roadblocks with all 3. They are as follows:
*Use signal (but that doesn’t work unless others have it also.)
*Use RCS via google messages (won’t run on my phone, I assume bc of murena os)
*get t-mobile virtually over the WiFi via my esim (but all options regarding the esim are not clickable under settings, presumably because of the murena os.)
The only other option I can come up with is to pay google proton to permanently send me my calls and texts virtually, which really defeats the point of having a degoogled phone.
Does anyone else have a fp6 on a non google os that allows wifi calling or adding an esim? I suspect the esim is my best option. If anyone has any insights, alternative workarounds, or thoughts I would be all ears and incredibly grateful.
