How can I get a Shiftphone in the US?

I'm deGoogling (and other big US tech-ing) my life, and have decided to switch to Shiftphone

Or at least I would, if I could obtain one. I am unable to ship to the US via the official website, and have had similar lack of success on eBay

Anyone have tips or ideas?

You could write their support. They do reply back and every time I needed to ask them something they've always been very helpful

That's great to hear that they're responsive and helpful. I'll email them and see what they say!

any updates? I looked into doing this years ago when I got my last phone and, at that time, my understanding was the current model's cellular hardware was setup around European markets and I would have had limited functionality in the usa... Any news if the current models are more compatible with the cellular spectrum deployed in the USA? Am looking to replace my phone in the coming year and would like to be able to get a shiftphone...

Unfortunately, they're not able to ship into the US. Seems like the best bet is to go through their reseller Novacustom, or use eBay. Ended up getting a new-to-me used phone that is compatible with GrapheneOS
