    Almost every phone have region blocking

    Why?

    1. Celltower channels used on 3G, 4G and 5G communications vary slightly country to country. That’s why some imported cellphones signals don’t work out of the box (until they are configured, if they can be. If not, basically no cell tower communication. You can still use wifi tho)

    2. Vendor promotions and warranties. As you pointed out, SIM/eSIM are locked to a certain vendor CARRIER. Thankfully, Any phone can be unlocked out of this with the right tools.

    3. Application/feature restrictions (eg TikTok and what not)

    I don’t want alarm. It’s to annoying.

    Been though this a while back; Here was my problem:

    I wanted to have a constant reminder after every 2.5 hours, each and every day.

    Used few apps, found one that worked, at least for a few days… started spiraling down…

    Started missing the reminders (i guess it was blocked by “do not disturb” that i soldem forget to disable). I even whitelisted the app to bypass any android blockages ( could be that i missed a few, idk). The app just couldn’t work,

    Ended up using the inbuilt alarm on my phone, added 2.5 hrs from the hour that i wake up, every day (0500hrs) and set them all as alarm ( yeah, each and every one after incrementing 2.5h) upto the time i probably get to bed (2230hrs) With a same custom subtle low-key ringtone on all of them.

    Worked ever since 😊
