After a month or so of trying out OS' and desktops and listening to the problems and successes of others in these forums, I have moved to manjaro-phosh instead of default manjarto-plasma.
I found phosh apps to be more stable and functional than those in plasma. I just got MMS going in phosh. Now I have cell phone calls w/sim card (send and receive - even with speaker - even with contact list). SMS and MMS (send and receive w/attachments). Firefox webrowser runs fine. Youtube plays audio and video. Speaker not so great but plays.
Not yet explored email. Not yet explored nav apps. Cameras are not active until who knows when.
Now need to see how reliable this all is.
