   Random tip for people going to non-stock phones...
   If your new SIM card won't work in your non-stock phone, put the sim in a stock phone, let it activate, and then move the sim to your degoogled or alternative OS phone.
   I keep my old stock Motorola in a drawer for exactly this.
   Doesn't matter what stock phone it is, as long as it's compatible with your carrier and has some sort of data features.

     Another use for your old Android or iPhone... If an account you use suddenly won't let you in because of stupid ass Google shit, having your old phone around is an easy way to load the app and close that account. I had to do this on one of my debit cards when they abruptly decided to require attensation or some Google API shit.
     I used the app via my old phone on WiFi to transfer out the balance and tossed the card in the drawer with the phone. lol.
