it would be very difficult to make a traditional cellphone type of phone with the pine64, you would have to integrate all the necessary hardware and supporting software. i'd suggest using one of the android images that supports hangouts[if any do, i'm not sure if in fact hangouts does work] and use a google number to do pretty much near what you want if that would be phone like communication via the pine64

You could use a cellular module and create a UI for it with your Pine, like https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13120 for example...

yes. or particle.io has the electron. but the electron probably won't do calls on their network. but either would lack the integration needed to have a "phone" , if the OP does want a traditional type cellphone concept. perhaps search hackster.io for some ideas.
