If you're building your own cell modem, then, probably. In terms of "finding hardware that can do the following things," pretty much any cell phone sold will support voice and text - though some don't do a great job with

Hm. I'm not sure what to make of this, really. The concept of a RISC-V based "assemble it yourself" phone is solid enough - there have been the PiPhone concepts based around a Pi Zero for long enough, and while I don't
