Considering the aforementioned options for my next phone, but I’ve heard mixed reports on their compatibility with carriers in the US. Has anyone here gotten either to work reliably in the US and how good is the signal if it’s missing some cellular bands? I’m currently on a T-Mobile MVNO, but am open to switching to whichever carrier that might work best.

Depending on your needs (e.g. not calling emergency numbers, porting number only from US/Canada, not receiving SMS AFAICT) you might want to look at an international (or virtual? not sure what the right denomination here is) carrier with an eSIM (or adapter) instead e.g. https://jmp.chat/
Edit: I’m mentioning this because I recently moved from an iPhone to a deGoogle Android phone which didn’t support eSIM. I found eSIM quite convenient, especially while traveling and when needing only data. It’s not necessarily a solution for most but I find that a lot of people are not necessarily aware of how well it works and that the price is usually comparatively (again, depending on usage) quite low compared to “traditional” carrier.
