No, then I lose all my old Signal messages. I have to try to get this phone fixed. Even if I get a new phone just to save the day, I cannot install Signal on the new phone without trying everything possible to salvage the old one. No back up option in Signal means this.

Eek, now I have to *walk* to an Apple store without Google maps for direction. Anyone who has seen me try to find my way anywhere knows what this means. If I am not heard from, please send Google Maps.

Not everyone who uses Signal needs highest security; a backup option—especially if turned on contact by contact—would accelerate adoption. Most of the time, that's why I can't get people to use Signal at all, which hinders Signal for the truly at-risk.https://twitter.com/hibaymj/status/996024523727233025 …

Also, to get into my iCloud, I need 2FA with ... my non-working phone or a text to my phone. (I'm getting around this with a temporary phone at the Apple store at the moment but I guess I'm testing out all the 2FA hard problems in one go!)

Does anyone know if buy an Apple iPhone (SE) in Europe and find that the different antenna configuration degrades performance too much in the US, I can return the phone in the US? (SE has different versions with different LTE antennas). Asking for .. nobody in particular.

Also, does anyone, ahem, know if iPhone SE (Model A1723) which isn't optimized for T-Mobile or AT&T in the US but will kinda work degrades terribly because of lack of the exact optimization of the right antennas? I know it will work but how much of a performance loss?

Per https://www.apple.com/iphone-se/specs/ … it looks like the only LTE bands missing on A1723 versus A1662 are 13 and 29, and per https://www.phonearena.com/news/Cheat-sheet-which-4G-LTE-bands-do-AT-T-Verizon-T-Mobile-and-Sprint-use-in-the-USA_id77933 … neither AT&T nor T-Mobile uses those bands.

Yes, though my understanding is that they're mostly in rural areas + relatively lightly used at the moment. AFAIK no Apple device supports 71 and only the 8/X support 66; if you need those I'd probably wait for the SE2.

Ah, sorry. But TBH, unless you plan to spend a LOT of time in rural areas and are totally confident you want T-Mobile (and not, say, willing to get a prepaid AT&T SIM for occasional rural trips) I wouldn't wait for the SE2 just for coverage; good chance even it won't support 71.
