No, but I'm just baked enough for the idea to interest me. Like, you have Android phones, you have iOS, but you don't really have any 3rd party shit at all. Just unlicensed versions of Android on cheap hardware.
It would be cool to adapt a way to hook up like old school cordless phones just to troll people.

I don't know tomorrow I'm switching from GOOGLE FI to Mint Mobile. Mint is cheaper going to save about 10 bucks a month WOO HOO. They are probably just as bad as Google as far as data harvesting but at least it wont cost as much. Fucking phones should be free at this point for the amount of shit they pull from you
Service should be basically free considering the tech it uses now for voice, SMS, and MMS is all internet driven. Like, I get charging a fuck load for the phone, but to charge a fuck load on top of it for service is asinine

I use mint and get great reception in the bay area. even for data. it runs off of T-Mobile. I have G4 phones still so it just works. I dont know if they're G5. unless everything recently went G5
35 a month you can get 5 gigs of Wifi. but that might go up to 8 meaning the 15 plan is going up as well. however, its only 15 a month if you pay 1 year up front. I think its 20 a month. its a bit deceiving.

it took me a while to figure it out. i didnt know why my whatsapp doesnt work on an instant level if its in the background until i installed a firewall/network blocker and read the dependencies of each app.
"De-googled" is a step in the right direction. There's privacy oriented ROM's for Android phones. You just flash the ROM on the phone and boom. I do suggest reading the instructions before you brick anything.
