Usa T-Mobile calls? - Kiltnar - 03-15-2020
I've tried several different os's. And each time i try to make a call the diaper app closes the call screen. The latest one i tried was the kde plasma mobile image. The apn screen would not let me change anything or edit the apn. I did do an update && upgrade before trying.
It's more than possible I'm doing something wrong. I'm so ready to ditch the Android ecosystem it's not funny. The biggest things I'm needing to do, is calls and texts. Which are supposedly working on most of the os's available.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Was able to make my first call with the Debian image shared via Twitter. It was grainy and disconnected. But still very happy. Wanted to mention this if anyone else has had problems getting a phone call to work. Excited to see what the future holds. :-)

Using Debian/Phosh with AT&T sim card (similar to Tmobile gsm)
Phone calls work very good even the speaker phone... both directions, in-coming and out going
SMS/text works pretty good, contact book a little rough but useable.
wifi works, but the 2 browers ('web' and firefox) could both use help with scaling.
Problem with my sim card, I can get message from AT&T saying my 'plan does not include data'... (But I do have data plan)
but that message does come from the data internet connection. so that almost counts as working.

With one, the sound doesn't work, another the mic doesn't work, or both, some will call out, some will take calls in (but I've yet to get a notification sound) but none have worked completely.

This is using Debian/Phosh just out of the box,
Really the Best I have found myself...
UT did have a good release back weeks ago, but I lost track of which "ONE"
And it seems to me they appear to have

No, nothing but using the graphical interface.
The phone and text just work, in-coming rings the phone, no choice of ring tones (yet)
voice works pretty good both directions..
Though when using the speaker phone option, my son complained there is a bit of an echo at his end.
but it sounded pretty good at my end.
On the data, :
name: NXTGENPHONE
apn: NXTGENPHONE
I get to the "AT&T sign-in page" but it gives me a notice I do not have data on my plan.
with:
Name: ATTBroadband
apn: Broadband
I get to the next page where I can sign-in to my AT&T prepaid account, but that is as far as I have got so far.
OH wifi works real nice, just could use better scaling on the web pages.
