        @melu9wuv VoLTE is not currently working with any carrier. There is a project to fix that. But, no results so far

            @melu9wuv Any GSM carrier will work for phone calls, and we can add Verizon once VoLTE works.

            For AT&T - Red Pocket, H2O, Straighttalk. Some have had success with Cricket.

            For T-mobile - anything is good. Mint is cheap, US Mobile, walmart family mobile, just about any will do.

                @melu9wuv Still being worked on.Those who have had success, have done so with AT&T MVNOs with cellular set to 3G. But, we're very close to fixing the problem with all GSM carriers.

                  @rocket2nfinity thank you. I wish to be as helpful and informative to others one day, assisting others in their flight from big tech to open source like UBT. Power to the people.

                    @melu9wuv note that in the US, any T-Mobile or AT&T provider seems to be working well now. You can keep cellular data at 4G mode and send / receive SMS and MMS reliably, and of course calls are working fine. What doesn't work is MMS when on wifi, this is a separate bug broader than just Pixel 3a phones.

                        @rik messaging on my 3a through RedPocket GSMA is send only--not receiving. Have checked MMS and AT&T internet (and unchecked latter, also), stopped wifi, set to 3G and slower, all to no avail. Do I need to change APN settings or what else could I try?

                          @melu9wuv Are you using Ubuntu Touch from the devel or rc channel? Stable (default) doesn't have the fixes in yet.

                            @fredldotme I'm not sure which is which--I downloaded and flashed my phone from the Ubuntu Touch site for GP3a.

                              You can see it in settings for updates, and even more precisely in about settings :

                                @keneda I see better now. It is on stable. Should I try Development or RC instead?

                                  @melu9wuv yes, you need RC (changes less often) or Development (changes daily) to get the fixes for SMS when you have 4G / LTE enabled. So from the screenshot where you see "Canaux - Stable" click there to choose RC (recommended). After that, go "back" and it should prompt you to "Download and Install" (will then reboot and install RC).

                                    @rik Thank you! I had no idea. Like I said previously in another thread, I hope to be as much help to others soon as you are to me now!

                                      @melu9wuv Sorry I didn't have my notifications set up correctly, I wasn't intending to ignore you. Anyway, please move to "RC" channel and let us know an update.

                                              VoLTE is not already working on any phone or carrier.
                                              On day it will.
