I am thinking of trying a new OS on my Pixel 8 pro, and I’m wondering if switching will require me to inform or update my cell service provider, Verizon, in any way to stay connected. When I just moved my SIM card from one device to another, I learned that it activates an anti theft feature after a couple of days of working normally. This was easily fixed with Verizon support, but it was a hassle since I’m still on my parents’ phone plan. Am I likely to have this or a similar issue after installing a new OS, or should my cell service and data continue to work?

    Shouldn’t be any problem. I’ve been doing open source ROMs since android v2 and it works fine on AT&T and Verizon.

    One caveat is to make sure you have VoLTE working on stock android before you flash a new ROM. Sometimes that must be activated on the carrier with stock android to work on LineageOS or GrapheneOS
