Carriers do not support PinePhone?
#8
I just moved the sim card from my iPhone into the Pinephone (base 2021 model) and it works. At first I didn't think it worked completely for SMS messages. But actually it does - just not Apple iMessage. So calls and messages work out of the box on both PMOS and Manjaro. This is with T-Mobile.

In general it's my opinion that most Linux offerings are doing things in a generic way that will work with almost any carrier. However if you overlook the obvious steps of trying different distros and making sure the repository you have is updated, you may think it doesn't work. When actually it could work, but you make it so that it can't work by trying to fix what is not actually broke. Don't have preferences at first and see what works out of box.
