Official communications so far regarding 4G phone calls remain rather hazy.

IRT (in regard to ?) VoLTE, we've had a lot of progress with the OP6T. We need testers. Please see our North American carrier issues group on Telegram/Teleports

rocket2nfinity

@gt Maybe shorter term for OP6T, much longer if ever, for other devices. It's really complicated stuff.

But, for those devices that won't get it quickly, possibly never, our Linphone+sip solution works flawlessy. It is also an unfinished effort, so it's a little clumsy. But you will get calls and messages. Need testers for this too.

@rocket2nfinity could you point me in the right direction for more info on setting up xmpp/jabber on UT for use with jumpchat and also SIP? I recently got a Pixel 3a, so not the relevant device that was being discussed, but this is certainly a subject I am interested in until 20.04 drops (will donate towards that when able).

@ghost504 You need to join one of the UT Telegram groups, NA carrier Issues, or the main UT will do, and ask for the Linphone app as it is not yet published in the open store for 64 bit devices. Then ask about the Rik Shaw Method for setting it up. One of us will guide you.

We have a guy trying to put together a simplified post to post here, but he hasn't finished yet as it gets complicated in two places. Most so far need a little help. So, we really do recommend going to Telegram/Teleports for that help.

Either way, it also requires a sip provider. I usually recommend jmp.chat They are both inexpensive, easy to set up, and can also do XMPP if our XMPP apps get fixed.

@rocket2nfinity Could you add the NA issues one I don't have that one.

@rocket2nfinity Thanks but that does not work for me

@lakotaubp
It works with firefox on my laptop.
Didn't try with a phone.

rocket2nfinity

@lakotaubp It works if you open it in UT browser. Don't know why it's erroring out in Teleports.

Lakotaubp

@rocket2nfinity Ok Thats what I was trying.

Edit: Works from Morph. Thanks

Ghost504

@rocket2nfinity Bless. You said jumpchat for xmpp but what about SIP provider? If you could give me a short list of recommended ones I'd be most grateful. This is actually one of the things I was gonna end up trying on UT!

From earlier post from rocket2nfinity.

@ghost504 jmp.chat is easiest. Voip.ms is another i've recommended. But, is a lot more complicated to set up. And it only gets more complicated from there. So, I stop at those two - one for a simple single line, and one that you can use to build a whole small business network if you need it.

Rondarius

I wrote a while back, in another thread, that maybe start looking on different solutions. Like Linphone=VOLTE/Phonecalls for example and if possible Signal=sms/mms. I have trouble to get mms working because of missing settings in the messaging app, it is very carrier dependent if it works or not, and I am not interrested in switching carrier. How should we go about this? I know a lot of changes comes with the move to 20.04. Maybe hold our breaths until the move is finished(I know we will be very blue in our faces :smiling_face:)? And see what new possibilitys that comes our way?

rocket2nfinity

@rondarius With jmp.chat you can sign up for a Movim account and build a webapp with it (it's in the jmp.chat instructions). It will get you all your sms/mms without the hassle everyone is doing to patch it now. You will have to unsuspend it using UTtweaktool to get your messages in a timely fashion, and you will not get a blinky light when you do. But you will get your messages.

If and when we get XMPP fixed, it will be even better.

@rocket2nfinity Well, nuts. Gotta use telegram to work on getting 4g volte on ubports, and need 4g volte to get signed in to telegram . . . . oops, circular dependency detected. . . . may have to participate by fax or something . . .

Wait . . . I think I got logged back in . . . maybe . . . I hope

Got working somehow . . . . yay . . . . I'm now on the telegram group and ready to help getting ubports working on VOLTE any way I can . . .

AppLee

@robthebold
In fact Teleports do not need VoLTE, only 4G data connection which works, that's why

Keneda

@robthebold
VoLTE is Voice over LTE, but using Data over LTE on UT is working since the beginning.
So anything that is data, works.

@keneda @AppLee

I guess abbreviated my statement a little too much leading to the impression I was a bit dimwitted. What I should have added was: "if your carrier kicks you off for lack of VoLTE support on your device -- and they did, then you don't get data or SMS either because you don't have service at all . . .because they kicked you off. Then you're really in a bind."

Fortunately, I realized that I had an alternate phone I could put the SIM in to get the telegram code by SMS to the number I had originally used to register.
