<![CDATA[Is there a phone that actually calls (USA networks) with UT?]]>I have a Nexus 5 and a Sony Xperia X. Both were bought with UT in mind. However when I insert my ATT SIM, neither are able to make calls. I can configure the intermet and MMS but calling isnt possible.

I thought, no big deal, Ill just find a new carrier. Well it turns out neither device is supported by any USA carrier. Ive tried running the IMEI check with all of them and they come up as not compatible.

Cambodia went totally to VoLTE in 2015. and many others have as well, just not the EU. An interesting link relating to the NEXUS 5 from 2014 https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2014/07/qualcomm-announces-first-large-scale-commercial-volte-launch-japan

Will keep you informed

You'll agree that we cannot maintain such a list for each operator in every country.
The problem is that US American carriers dropped 3G, not that the hardware is not compatible with Ubuntu Touch.

I understand the need for a clear understanding of what can or cannot work.
But I also understand that as user I should make my own independent research.

Sorry you got deceived and hopefully VoLTE will be OK sooner than later.

I purchased a Pixel 3a XL because it has all green check marks. I live in the USA and now have an unusable Ubuntu Touch. I'm uncertain as to whether or not using 2G in 2022 can be called "fully functional", but I'm finding it difficult to contemplate using this phone on a daily basis. Who should be messaged about maybe adding a note or perhaps a red X with VoLTE so that people know that all green check marks DOES NOT mean "fully functional"?

Ah ok, i understood wrong, as you made me believe calls were working all the ways.

@rik
So that means under UT it is VoLTE capable also in EU, and in the rest of the world ?

That kind of "detail" is important to better spread to UT users.

For instance, at least, it should be mentionned in its device list page under "cellular" https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/cheeseburger/

Well I think it is more of a "huh no one knows why it works" situation: again UT can't make a call out in 4G / VoLTE even though incoming calls do get received. I think it is sort of in the "we won't really announce this as a feature because it is half workable and really needs looking at". But I don't own a OP5 so I will defer to what others think.

Sounds like for now, phone functionality doesn't work.

In the US, yes. It's a problem for sure.

Sounds like for now, phone functionality doesn't work. I think most people interested in UT are probably technical enough to use VoIP and a data plan as a workaround. So that's probably not a big deal. However, I can't seem to get a softphone to work my VoIP.ms account. Working on that next.
