If you already know please list Country/Carrier/Phone Model and specifics.
I personally am asking about the US Market with a Ubuntu Ported Nexus 5 that was on T-Mobile
#Phone #Carrier #Service

Or another related question is: Easiest carrier to activate on?

I use Straight Talk in TN USA. Get a sim card in walmart.
Usually 3 in a pack, at&t,tmobile. Etc. All sizes in there.
Freedom pop, not good,40 minute for a text to go 2 miles -
@marathon2422 Nice!

@marathon2422 I can confirm that h2o Wireless works on the Ubuntu Nexus 5 port. It was easy to manually configure via Apn settings. This model is an ATT /Tmobile model me thinks. I will try tonight with Metro PCS using the same phone.

@marathon2422 How did you get Freedompop to work? Did you have to download anything or did you manually config?

@kedesh99
Straight talk $45.00
10g data
You can go up from that,( unlimited ) 60g,then they slow it down.
Good luck -
My wife has been using Ting since it was an "Ubuntu" phone. She has had a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 5 with no problems at all. Since the sim card is activated online, it doesn't seem to care about the phone and OS. For the first month I turned off data at the Ting dashboard to force wi-fi connecting at all normally visited locations. Since she is mostly text and talk she decided not to turn it on unless absolutely necessary and rarely goes over $23/mo. (USA / Central OH)

Freedompop activates on line BUT BUT BUT, i do not know how it would work on UBports.
I have a Pro 5,it did not work on it, But it worked on Flyme on Pro 5This is why its not UB. Compatible
It uses its own messaging app,and receives,text and calls on that,and you need to use that to make out going calls, a total pain in the ass.
some android phones it will work on the installed phone app, but which ones. I don't know.
If you do use it, be careful what you click on or hover your finger over, once it has your credit card details
Don't ask me how i know that. -
@marathon2422 That's the same thing I was thinking. I have used Freedompop for over 5 years and getting FP on a Ubuntu Phone is pretty impressive seeing that they use their own messaging app. Impressive

@dshimer Nice! I was wondering about Ting
-
So I got the phone to work on Metro PCS - Lte, however Only works so far for calling and texting. Was not able to successfully get Data in and out but will keep trying.
