Why not buy a good phone
I’m doing a data plan and none of the phone I want are one there. Also I’m stuck with iMessage because of my family so all my contacts are iPhone unfortunately
Why not ask them to use a cross platform app like Signal?
They don’t sell Huawei phones in the US anymore, though.
There's plenty of other choices.
I was very satisfied with my Umidigi back in the day. ISTR it had great band coverage, so it just worked when I went abroad; some phones are very skimpy, like they'll only get 4G data on one or two carriers or not in some countries. Fall-induced screen damage made it uneconomical to fix so I got a $150 Nokia and said meh It's enough for Jerboa and a stack of 2FA apps.
The Oukitel designs with dummy thicc batteries look compelling, but I'm not really in the market.
