What does it mean for the Librem 5 to be "IP-Native Communication First"?
- mac01021 7y agoI assume it means that the structure of the UI emphasizes internet communication (chat, VOIP) over SMS and traditional cell-network calling.
- ac29 7y agoI think its their way of saying the phone is designed to be usable without traditional cellular network access: "A No-Carrier Phone? WiFi calling and VoIP calling will be able to be provided in WiFi or data plan modes. We expect to offer call-out, and call-in with phone numbers in all of these plans as well. If you still require a “traditional” phone number through a carrier and want to make unencrypted phone calls or messaging, it will be an option you can choose, but is not required (we recommend avoiding unencrypted phone calls)." [0] Its still a bit of odd phrasing, as most everything on an LTE connected phone is also IP-native.
