      For what one data point is worth, I do it to my phone carrier all the time.

      They should not care as long as it has a compatible SIM/modem combo.

        Yet…. Just wait until they require an approved OS for “safety” to activate a SIM. Just think BF6 and Secure Boot.

        I’m so upset that this isn’t all that matters. Carriers usually setup really nice contracts with manufacturers for things like exclusivity and marketing.
