        @rocket2nfinity - that is good to hear. Cellular data working for that does not surprise me, but I seriously doubt there will be any call or sms support with it. Then again - please let us know if we are all to be pleasantly surprised after you test it!

        Best regards,

          I purchased a 30 day Red Pocket sim so I could test. I went with the "GSMT" network which I believe is using T-Mobile.

          I am having consistent problems getting reliable voice, data, or sms. I have tried many different APN settings.

          I have tried APN settings from here: https://help.redpocket.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003781067-GSMT-Manual-APN-Settings

          No matter what I try it seems to be very intermittent. Sometimes I get 2G and sometimes L to show but it seems as soon as I make a successful phone call I lose internet afterwards.

          Also, I noticed "Reset APN Settings" does not appear to actually reset the APN settings.

          Any help or suggestions from someone on T-Mobile in the US?

            @sringgen Are you in a remote area? Because it sounds like you're between two weak towers, or just on the edge of one. I would suggest using cellmapper.net to find out what is the strongest gsm signal near you. GSMT is T-mobile. GSMA(AT&T) might be better.

              I finally contacted Red Pocket support and was given the APN settings below. Now I have reliable 4G data.

              However, I can only send texts. I can't receive any yet. I also can't send pictures.

              It is interesting that the settings they sent have some fields that are not available in Ubuntu Touch APN Settings screen.

              Anyone have suggestions?

                @sringgen yes, apply these patches, maybe try the wifi off thing

                  I read through that thread. It sounds like this only works if you keep Wifi off, so not really a valid option in my opinion.

                  For all US users, it sounds like AT&T is currently the only reliable option.

                      I tried this.

                      I did receive messages but as soon as I turn wifi on incoming messages stop working again.

                        @rocket2nfinity said in Verizon voice, data, sms not working:

                        VoLTE

                        I didn't see this until after I had my Pixel 3a all set up, I'm in the same boat as you. Where can I donate to directly support getting VoLTE or support for Verizon of any kind? I know I can donate to Ubuntu Touch in general, but for me this is the singular biggest issue with me making the switch, so I want to support it directly

                            @rocket2nfinity please let me know, I seriously think this is the #1 thing keeping UT from being more mainstream. I can deal with Jank, but if it’s literally unusable on most networks, I can’t use it.

                            Are there any phones that work with Verizon on UT?

                              @heyspencerb verizon won't be supported until VoLTE is functional.
