I’m happy to report that after one week with the new Brax3, I can only give it an excellent review. Everything works as expected. The phone not only looks good, it performs beautifully. There is a small learning curb, specially finding FOSS applications with privacy in mind. By the way, I am using Tello as my phone service provider, which uses the T-Mobile network. The only thing I have not figured out yet is visual voicemail, but is not a priority for me. Enjoy yours!

As a Mint user, we load T-Mobile Visual Voicemail to get that functionality. Maybe that will work for you as well.

Thanks for the feedback. I had tried that and did not work… I will research this a bit more.
I installed the T-Mobile Visual Voicail app. It worked. And now it doesn’t. I think the refresh is getting blocked by the iodé security app. I have poked around in it, but it’s not self evident what item to be allowed to use by T-Mobile.
I would prefer not to use the T-Mobile app. Instead, I’d like to k ow of the Voicemail feature of the pho e app can be co figured to work.
So funny thing. I was playing with that this evening, and it told me I had to upgrade to “Premium” to get the transcription.
So, like yourself, I see no value in that app, over just long-pressing 1 to get into voicemail, and listening. So I deleted the app.
On Android, you either old-school listen to voicemails, or pay a premium I suppose. Others may be different, but Mint seems to require that app, and Premium to work.

Hmm. I had T-Mobile and later Mint on a Graphene and Linage phones. I didn’t install any carrier app. The phone VM feature never worked. I figured it was due to using degooed OSes.
So I just pressed 1 for VM. It’s not a big deal to not see the text of a message in the phone app. It would be nice. But Mint would send text messages.
