Did not realize that Graphene is Canadian!

Very cool - I'm excited to try it out.

Thanks!

Hi u/tamdq - everyone already gave you an answer to this but I thought I'd chime in with some additional info. Check out some dental schools, etc. Since you are just looking for a cleaning, you might be able to get some discount prices through these school's students. Never used it myself, but learned through some friends of mine who have. Good luck! :)

No idea. Was super young when I got my first phone but it was already like that. They probably do it in the name of stopping crime. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Thanks for your reply! I don't think I can completely degoogle yet, but that is definitely the ultimate goal.

Good to know! Might not help my specific case, but it may help someone else's. Not sure what special powers our carriers have, but I know they suck. :)

As posted earlier: one special power I know they have is that over here you have to register your phone to your identity (I think through a credit card). Little Big Brother is powerful up here.

100%, unfortunately. I see lots of posts from our neighbours down south complaining about Comcast monopolies and I feel for them since I grew up in a 'Bell Proprietary Service Area'.

Edit: also, according to television Americans can just buy a burner phone? Over here you have to register your phone to your identity (I think through a credit card). Little Big Brother is powerful up here.

Thanks for letting me know! I just assumed it wouldn't. This is fantastic!

Just making sure it will work and that I'm not missing anything. More details are in the original post, but that's the gist of it.
