I've been interested in switching over to a phone that isn't a gold mine of my data for random companies etc. I've seen stuff for calyx, fair phone, graphene, and Linux phones. I'm curious as to how I would go about switching over. As of right now I use Android and mostly message through signal unless it's for work and I'm unfortunately on Verizon. Which privacy first smartphones would people recommend for US users and how does it work putting it on a network? Do they go on the regular networks like at&t, sprint, Verizon etc? Or do they have their own or privacy first networks? Sorry if these are dumb questions I'm just interested in switching and figured this would be a good place to find info.

I'm going to begin by saying that this is my band just so everyone is aware. Dunno how people feel about dropping your own stuff in here. Anyway I was just curious what people think cause we haven't been able to get any feedback or constructive criticism anywhere else. A lot of the people we know irl aren't into industrial and I am my own worst critic. So yeah if dropping links to your own stuff is forbidden or if you don't wanna listen I totally understand I'm not doing it for the purpose of self promo I just wanted to get some idea of what random people would think about our stuff. Thank you either way.
