@rogue_ronin I don't have this device or know that much about sims that work in the USA others however do and are using them. From what I have seen the X is a popular choice as a daily driver but you really need someone who use it for the full picture. Have a look through the other threads to do with the X and on the forum for more info especially on sims and providers that work in the US.
Thanks for the advice!

@rogue_ronin VoLTE is a form of device-enabled enhanced calling on certain 4G networks as an additional improvement over 3G. (To be clear, it's not 4G itself. 4G works, so calls in the US are still nice and clear.)
Texts work fine, but MMS (picture texts) have issues with some carriers.
So the current state of things is workable; I haven't used MMS for years, but maybe I will try with this device. Thank you!

@rogue_ronin - lack of VoLTE support is acknowledged as a major hurdle that the core UT team wants to make a big priority in fixing - but it likely will involve a ton of work so there is no firm timeline as to when a fix will appear for it at this point. I am able to make calls on T-mobile via 2G no problem with UT running on my Volla Phone though, and apparently T-mobile will continue to support calling over 2G until around April 2022. So, fingers crossed for VoLTE support to get added before that point, but for now, you can make and receive calls on T-mobile network without VoLTE support.
Best regards,
Steve Berson
Okay, 2g for calls, 4g for data, 3g is the walking dead, right? and most of a year to hope for VoLTE. That's good context. Thanks!
