https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ says "Works with 2G/3G/4G, GSM, UMTS, and LTE networks" -- does that mean it doesn't work with Verizon?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_Wireless#Network says it is LTE.
Correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm definitely not a cellphone expert, but my understanding is that LTE is data only (4G?). So the Librem would be a neat PDA, but wouldn't work as a phone (voice and SMS) over Verizon anywhere. In the major cities where there's good data coverage, it would work like a tablet, and you could probably make VOIP calls, but you wouldn't have that in most of the state. ...Akkana
