You mentioned the Fairphkne and I’ve been eyeing it too. Has anything changed with how we can actually get it here? Or do we still have to do our homework and check if it’ll work with our existing providers or get a new plan?

How to purchase a Fairphone 5, and get it shipped to Canada: https://www.clove.co.uk/products/fairphone-5-5g.

I have a Fairphone 5, and have used it since launch (2023Q4) on a major Canadian carrier. And before then, I used the Fairphone 4, since 2021Q4.

Thank you.

It's annoying that they won't sell directly to Canada.

Edit: but please edit your post so the period at the end doesn't become part of the clickable link.

I have a FP5 in the EU and I love it. I think you can get a 4, and I'm under the impression the 5 will work on some bands but not others in Canada

I wrote “eyeing” but that’s an understatement — I’ve been mouthwatering. I’m a bit of a sucker for things I can tinker with. I don’t need a new phone at the moment, but the day may come soon.

I’ve looked around and yeah, that’s my impression too, that the 5 doesn’t work with certain bands, but I don’t think I’ve seen a definitive list.

I did see that some people have used some middleman service to get the 4.

I promise I'll post on Lemmy somewhere (whenever it makes sense?) this fall when I visit the US with my Fairphone 5*

*Trip subject to how terrible things are there at the time lol

ran into that when i brought my Canadian S22U to the UK. Often i had perfect high speed service, and other days I just had 0 service.

Still have to check. A colleague is using, an FP4, I think, in Ontario, but I don't know which provider he's on.
