Most of the android phones I’ve had came preinstalled with something called “Mobile Services”. I normally remove it because it just keeps randomly installing apps and games that don’t want but I’ve never had an active phone plan on those phones. If I disabled it from my phone, would I still be able to send and receive calls and texts?
So far the only thing I have found out is that “Mobile Services” is an app that is only preinstalled on android phones who’s carrier is Tracfone.
That is extremely unlikely
Yes but it’s still possible and I have yet to see someone mention that they were able to disable it and still use their phone service.
Yeah and a meteor could smash into your house in the next 30 minutes but I wouldn’t count on that either.
The way apps work on android is, they are compartmentalized, if you disable a system app like this, the worst that will happen is some things may get wonky, if you enable it, it will start right back up again.
It’s just a service, if it was something that tracphone wanted to absolutely keep you from disabling, they would have put it in the bootloader. It’s most likely just a marketing app that they get kickbacks for including on their phones
Edit: Here, exactly like I said. My man you got this idea of a worst case scenario in your head with absolutely no evidence
