I am considering buying an Android phone and wipe Android with FirefoxOS using

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/os/devices/

Will installing FirefoxOS change the frequency setting? I.e., suppose I get a Nexus 5 (or another phone) that works on Verizon (or another network). I install firefox OS - wiping out Android. Will the phone still just work on Verizon? Or do I need to fiddle more?

I am not a geek (advanced user) - just like things to work with little hassle.

Thank in advanced for your help.

p.s. I am considering this because I don't like the privacy on Google nor want to use Google software.

p.s.s. It would be great if a tentative expiration date is listed on

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/os/devices/

for each phone.

p.s.s. If you have any phone(s) recommendation on that list, please post. The phone needs to be cheap - used phones are in consideration.
