Heck yeah, still using a Galaxy S4 myself. I need to look into VoLTE hacks though, because I've been getting nastygrams from my provider suggesting that it may be relegated to voiceless tablet duty soon unless that can be addressed. I'm not aware of a good source for "supports VoLTE natively / with hacks / not at all" data, though.

On android you can just use data for voice anyway via eg signalwire. I still haven't found a good VOIP client for desktop linux/pinephone.

    Yup. You can. For free too. Mostly.

This VoLTE situation is a serious problem, it appears. Is the open source Android community basically screwed as soon as 3G is turned off? There are a lot of 4G phones that seem to support VoLTE only when flashed with their OEM firmware.

  VoLTE configuration on phones requires a carrier configuration profile which specifies the right setting for that specific carrier - this is technical configuration based on the carrier's voice network. This can either be shipped as part of the firmware, part of the OS, or delivered as an OTA update.

  IDK at least in Germany they don't have plans yet to drop 2G, even though there are plans to turn off 3G.

Also, it seems that my phone supports VoLTE even though I use Lineage OS without gapps. At least it shows LTE being set up for voice too in the settings app as well when I dial that 4636 number. https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/07/24/how-to-find-out-if-your-t-mobile-phone-has-volte-support/ https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/07/24/how-to-find-out-if-...
