        @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.

                          Memories are just what the mind tells us about our actions.

                            @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.
