Does it actually reliably make calls yet?

Does it actually reliably make calls yet?
- blendergeek 4y agoVoLTE is not supported. But it can reliably place 2G calls if your carrier supports it.
- fsflover 4y agoDepending on your carrier, VoLTE can already work on Librem 5: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Cellular-Providers https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Cellul....

- TylerE 4y agoIn the US, 3G has been entirely phased out and 2G is only supported by TMobile (and that’s getting turned off early next year)
- jonsger 4y agoKind of. For me (Deutsche Telekom, Germany) VoLTE does not work, so when receiving/doing a call the phone needs to drop back from LTE to 2G/GSM. Nowadays I understand the other side always pretty well, but often they don't understand me well when calling from L5. Apart from that calling is depending on modem connectivity which is still pretty bad. I don't have a stable connection at work, where an iPhone in the same mobile network, is always fine. I'm even unsure if that aspect has improved really since I received it in March 2022. Then there are some smaller bugs, like your phone hangs and keeps vibrating when you receive a call, while the L5 is locked. Edit: forgot to add that while moving fast, e.g. in a train, I would say calling is almost impossible. You just loose connection too often.
- seba_dos1 4y agoYes, for years now. Some carriers allowlist the devices that can use VoLTE on their networks though, so beware of that, especially in areas where 3G and 2G are being sunsetted.
