<p><strong>Our advice:</strong> There's still no cell phone on the market that's fully compatible with user freedom. iOS and Android are both riddled with nonfree software. What makes matters worse is that all smartphones currently run a separate, nonfree OS commonly referred to as the "mobile baseband," which is responsible for most of the device's communications.</p>

If you're at all able to, and if you find your hardware is compatible with it, we recommend pairing the <a href="https://replicant.us"><strong>Replicant</strong></a> distribution of Android with the <a href="https://f-droid.org">F-Droid</a> app repository. Replicant is the bottom line when it comes to mobile OSes that respect their user's freedom, and is a project <a href="https://www.fsf.org/working-together/fund">fiscally sponsored by the FSF.</a></p>

<strong>This is why supporting the Replicant project is vital.</strong> At present, <a href="https://replicant.us"><strong>Replicant</strong></a> is severely lacking in development attention and hardware support. If you're at all able, please contribute to the project! In the meantime, we provisionally recommend replacing as many common (and nonfree) Android applications as you can with apps from the <a href="https://f-droid.org">F-Droid</a> app repository. Although it's <strong>not currentily usable</strong> for most use cases, Replicant remains the bottom line when it comes to mobile OSes that respect their user's freedom, and is a project <a href="https://www.fsf.org/working-together/fund">fiscally sponsored by the FSF.</a></p>
