@keneda Is there instructions in the standard ubports telegram group or could you link me to the group so I can find them?

@keneda Ugh yes they shut down 3g in Feb 2022. That is really unfortunate as I was hoping to at least use UBtouch with a pixel 3a for the time being but calling not working is sort of a deal breaker for me. Thank you for pointing this out.

Does anyone know if FP4 will work with cricket wireless in the USA? I see that the network bands appear to be supported but I know Cricket is sort of silly about the devices they support.

Hey All,

My name is Mike C. I have been using Ubuntu since college back in the 6.06 days when everything was brown. I was also heavily into openmoko back in the day when that seemed like our best hope for an open phone . I got into the LoCo groups a bit and after college I was hired by a software company doing tech support and bug reports and what not. I am a bit of a privacy nerd and I like Ubuntu Touch for it's potential to allow me to move away from apple and android ecosystems. Hopefully when I get the pinephone in my hand I can go to work reporting bugs and doing testing. I have some experience in Python programming but I am not much of a programmer to be honest. I think the biggest areas I could contribute in would be testing, and documentation. But those are two roles that every project needs filled so I am looking forward to getting my hands dirty.

Okay I am going to make this as simple a question as possible. When the pinephone community edition lands in my hand and after I update it to the latest stable image... will I be able to make calls ( that have working audio ) and send/receive text messages? I have seen too many conflicting reports on these features and if they work.
