Read section 2.1 of the sysmocom
systems for mobile communications GmbH
Ubuntu Touch VoLTE Investigation, Revision V1 July 22, 2021 and then read about the Purism Librem 5 phone which uses PureOs. A significant involvement of the device manufacturer is required to implement VoLTE. After that is accomplished a carrier has to be willing to activate the phone. Purism gets over the last hurdle with its AweSim.

@jonsger said in Status of VoLTE (Voice over LTE 4G) implementation?:

Does someone know what happened to the work of Sysmocom for VoLTE on the Volla Phones: blog post and technical investigation report.

I'm currently running a Librem 5 with PureOS, which in theory has VoLTE support in the modem. But can't get it working with Deutsche Telekom (works with Vodafone DE). So I think for VoLTE we need a different solution in the long term, then relying on IoT modems with VoLTE support.

I would like to make a "kick-off" donation for "2.1 Open Source IMS Implementation" to the UBports Foundation. It's tax-deductible, so say something like 1.000€ So someone capable from Sysmocom or so can start working on it.

The carrier doesn't have to support a device(phone) just because the device conforms to its network. Purism Libtem 5 and PureOS are perfect examples. Purism offers what they call an AweSim that allows you to connect unsupported devices to their network details here https://puri.sm/products/librem-awesim/

@wizardi3
I guess in the US at least they are no longer supporting phones that aren't 5G capable. I was offered a FREE phone at two shops I tried and online.

@rocket2nfinity It supports 4G LTE on LTE Band 5 and that shows up in cellular settings with a Verizon SIM before I tried to activate the phone. I have a Nexus 5x working on Verizon and the settings matched. It' not that the phone wouldn't work it's just no longer supported.

In my search for a VoLTE solution for NEXUS 5 I came across this info which might help in the EU not where I am in the US.

@UBportsNews Where do we stand om the VoLTE timeline

@arubislander said in Bring devs to UT:

... a fully viable and operational UT.

I think it is dependent on the device manufacturer more than the OS developer, which is why Volla is probably the best bet.

@mihael No I misunderstood I thought 993 was not working. Sorry

@mihael try imap port 995

@arubislander Global. The foundation may be but function is certainly not.

UBports is a global non-profit dedicated to putting you in control of your phone.

@ktatar156 Here's a link to test browser security from the Electronic Frontier Foundation

https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

There is a reason for not having extensions.

@arubislander Would it be easier to use the Brave Browser? I find it more stable than Firefox on desktop Ubuntu.

@ktatar156 I agree completely.

@ezze You could disable docker when not in use.

@opolork That is not my experience. With email you can tell over a period of time, if you get spam either you have used the address with someone that shares it or the provider has shared the address. In most instances the user has revealed their address.A secure provider would not last long sharing data.

Free Email. One of the most searched for commodities on the internet. Which Free Email service is the “Best”? As the managing director of a company that has been providing email services for more than 27 years I recommend Gmail.

Gmail? Yes, Gmail. But don’t they collect, share and sell my metadata, don’t they profile, fingerprint and deliver targeted adds? Yes, they do, that’s how they make money.

Gmail also provides a high level of security for users, protecting them from spam and malware, in the case of spam it’s spam that hasn’t been paid for. Gmail is a feature rich service user friendly and attractive in many ways.

That is the model for Free Email. You get what you pay for.

Do I have a Gmail account? Yes I do, I also have an Apple Mail account and Outlook, and Yahoo and Proton Mail and several others, research.

Our Email service, @i3.net, is designed to be a primary personal email account. Our core users already have secure email accounts with the organizations or institutions they own or work for. Those accounts are monitored and restricted. Our service was born out of their need for secure personal Email.

@opolork Someone has to pay, "free email " most often has ads and sells your data as well as having usage and/or feature restrictions. We offer a 30 day free trial. We do not have multiple levels of service.
