I've been thinking about switching lately because as this phone gets more updates it keeps gradually getting more annoying. Only trouble is my carrier is Google Fi right now and I don't know if I can reasonably continue using that on Graphene without privacy concerns.

Though, I originally started using it only because it was cheap. I could probably afford to shop carriers soon.

You can use Google Fi if you install sandboxed Play Services and give it a few permissions. It's not as private as it could potentially be, but it's still presumably better than stock.

Also, IMO unless you really need the international features, Google Fi isn't worth the price since US Mobile, Visible, Mint, etc. exist.

If you’re in the US, US Mobile comes out to $17.50 a month for the unlimited plan if you pay for the whole year.
