Where to order CD20Max / CD12Max from?

New to the FAW game.

i got my cd20max today. I changed the language to English.

Should I test with a ‘burner’ sim card? OR, is there any concern with using my ‘main’ sim to test calls and messages?

I’m fairly savvy, so appreciate any good starting point. I got the 4 pin cable on the way.

You will be fine with any sim to test. Have you global or CN model

judging by second line it is CN
Cn baseband is allot stronger then EU
so it should work with any sim
call is unlikely to work but data almost certainly yes

Thanks! But since I use Google fi I think there is an issue for out of the box. Provisioning requires the Google fi app on Android. I’d love to know if there’s a way around that.

So probably I will need to grab a different SIM card.

My question was kind of on the “apps/background network usage” of the standard rom. Is there any apps that are phoning home or similar that I should turn off.

It is chinese model. I ordered from the same seller that this user did: https://discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/t/where-to-order-cd20max-cd12max-from/74462/97?u=jimmy_james

There are some, more on mimu compared to noemie, but it’s 2026 you don’t have unlimited data?
It’s not gonna be crazy because ofcourse that’s gonna drain the battery and they don’t want that

I don’t think the background data used by the system app is enough to worry about, first the system updater check update, then the launcher will keep persistent connection, then the child mode manager, I don’t think it’ll use more then a few mb if that, not enough to worry about using all your data capacity
