        I am having this show on my pixel 3a. It occurs off and on . Usually for short periods like a minute or so.
        (I am at home not moving from place to place.) Trying to call ATT to see if they have any issues My previous phone always had no issues with network access. Anyone else having any trouble like this. Could it be a settings issue?

          @billboy5690 You are not alone in having problems connecting to a cellular network in the USA. I spent a week or so until I got Ubuntu Touch working on a Pixel 3a phone only to find that everything works great except making calls and sending messages. The software looks better than anything else I have ever seen in the mobile space. As far as I can tell we will no longer be able to make calls or receive messages on any network in the USA after mid-July, 2022.

          I am on the Verizon LTE network (via US Mobile). The problem seems to be that all of the US based networks are requiring VOLTE (Voice over Long Term Evolution). Before I installed UBuntu Touch on my Pixel 3A I tested the connection with the Sim card that I have and it worked perfectly. However, neither my phone or a LG Nexus 4 that I purchased with UBuntu Touch installed will connect to the network. Although the physical phones implement VOLTE, UBuntu Touch does not, so until the UBuntu Touch team can implement the standard, everyone in the USA is out of luck.

          You may be getting an intermittent conection because AT&T still has some 2G and 3G networks running for a little while longer.

          I certainly hope the work continues on VOLTE for UBuntu Touch. If anyone know anything specific (other than last July's announcment of the intention to implement VOLTE), please let us all know.

          Regards, David S

            @desolom Hello ,Thanks for the info .I believe my problem is unrelated to yours. After waiting on hold for more than an hour with tech support the problem seems to have been fixed. My signal is now full and no more drop outs.
            I hope what your say about the mid July cutoff is addressed in the forum.Like you I agree UT on my android phone is fantastic.I dont ever want to go back to google world .

              @desolom You can get your phone functional as a phone now by using the Linphone app and a sip service. I recommend JMP.chat.

              It will be easier to guide you with this via the UT Telegram/Teleports group as it takes some setup to make it all work.
