minus-squareTheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·3 days agoReception is dependent on which bands the phone supports, and which bands your sim contract supports. You can get cheap phones that support all major bands, and the rest is up to the sim

Wasn’t there a thing with one of those iPhones where the reception was drastically worse depending how you would hold the phone in your hand.
