I bought my Xiaomi to use Telegram and Google Authenticator. However I then realized I can't unlock my phone without having a phone number. The only reason I currently pay for a sim card is so I can unlock it when I find the time.

It does not feel like MY device at all.

My device required an agonizing 30-day wait time after unlock request. De-Googling worked, but it was a bumpier ride than my previous OnePlus and Samsung devices.
