Say thanks to Juan for the great article:https://pisapapeles.net/bloqueo-celulares-mexico/Sources:(1) https://www.xataka.com.mx/celulares-y-smartphones/zte-b...

I knew devices were getting blocked, but not to this extent. Or the fact that mexico’s own government/regulatory bodies condemned the blocking itself.

Here’s a written article (not English): https://pisapapeles.net/bloqueo-celulares-mexico/

Xioami is the only one (in the list) that sent a notification but didn’t block any function or the device itself: https://www.gearrice.com/update/xiaomi-affirms-that-it-is-not-blocking-mobile-phones-purchased-on-the-gray-market-in-mexico-even-though-it-continues-to-be-a-problem/

        I personally have a dedicated phone just for Android Auto and Spotify for this. It’s my old OnePlus 3T running LineageOS. I hotspot my main phone to my other phone to get data to the phone.

        For those with limited hotspot data plans, there are apps that helps you mask that you’re hotspoting without the need for root, such as TetherFi

        It is still kinda inconvenient though, but better than nothing. I drive a lot, so Android Auto really helps.
