Using another carrier?

If you’re using a carrier other than Sidephone Mobile, your carrier may automatically install additional apps when you insert your physical nano-SIM. These additions are controlled by your carrier, not Sidephone.

App Library gets you more.

The App Library starts empty. Scan an App Pack to discover what’s available within it, then choose what to install.
