FWIW, I have a Canadian telco, and use SMS/MMS or Skype depending on who/where. Recently replacing an Android 5.1 with an Android 9 on the same service, I had a delivery failure receiving an MMS photo, and found that while the old phone would deliver MMS regardless of LTE or 3G network, the new one only seems to deliver on LTE data.

Likely true! I go to a lot of places without LTE or 4G, and some places without any cell service at all. Last time I was up there, SE Oregon had nothing better than 3G along I-5.

Google Messages for Web might help me. Seems good so far.

We tend to go to Cal, between family in the Bay and OC areas, coastal or I5 depending on weather and schedules.  It may be the roaming plan using the old Android 5.0 phone as a USA burner will work best on 3G.  I read that T-Mobile and Sprint will be combining networks.
