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.
It won’t.
Or at least it really shouldn’t. I can’t imagine that happening. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it on my own phone.
I would try but I don’t want to disable something if I don’t know for sure that it’s safe to disable.
Disabling something on your phone will have no impact on your account.
Without knowing the phone, and the exact package name, we have no idea what this is.
Get the Universal Android Debloat Utility, it’s pretty good at letting you know what can be disabled.
I forgot to mention these in my previous comment but I’ve added some information about the app in my post. As for that app that you mentioned, I’ve never used ADB commands before and I don’t want to risk bricking my phone, so I don’t know if I’m going to use it.
It’s not the account that I’m worried about. It’s hard for me to explain what I’m actually concerned about. I guess an example would be that the SIM card becomes invalid or something. One of the phones where I disabled Mobile Services has an effectively permanent error at the top of the screen that says “invalid SIM card”.
