Thank you!
I reflashed the new phone (the eMMC) with today's nightly, that didn't help. Using another SD card with an older Mobian version didn't work either.
I can receive text messages, but I cannot send them. Calls work. I inserted another SIM card from another provider, same result.
So: Phone 1 (3GB) works with BOTH SIM cards and that too BOTH booted from eMMC and SD card.
Phone 2 (2GB Debian Edition) does NOT send Messages with either of the SIM cards and no matter what I boot (I tried two different Mobian nightlies (17. and 18. September) on the eMMC, Mobian Bullseye, Ubuntu Touch on the first SD card, an older version of Mobian Bookworm (26. August) on the second SD. [Interestingly on Manjaro Plasma there's a notification saying "Network Management:Modem (quectelqmi_0) The modem shows no carrier"])
Is there any chance that this is not a hardware issue, that there is anything I can do?
(This would be the third broken 3GB Pinephpone sent to me: In the first one the contacts for the battery were missing, so it only worked when plugged in. The second one had a flickering screen with vertical lines. I really, really do not want to have to send this one back again.)
