OK, now to the main topic. What I'm about to post probably won't be useful for USonians or anyone else with LTE/5G-only, but for the rest 3/4 of the globe, I hope it might be useful. Essentially, I'm gonna talk about featurephones that are true featurephones, i.e. not Androids in disguise (like KaiOS ones) and are now completely built upon non-smartphone hardware like MediaTek MT62xx or Unisoc (ex-Spreadtrum) SC6531x/SC770x/UMS9117(L). The UMS9117, btw, supports LTE, so chances are something like CAT B40 may work in 'murica too. Anyway, modern true featurephones are based on low-end MediaTeks/Unisocs, their firmware may contain some trojans (although I hadn't caught Nokia, Alcatel or CAT doing this) but also may contain an autonomous IMEI editor among their secret codes. So lemme repost my codelist and see how censorship-resistant this network truly is.
