Can you make reliable calls yet?

What is the status of being able to make reliable calls on the PP and PPpro?
By reliable I mean:
- Calls go through
- Calls are not disconnected for no reason
- Audio levels are fine (sending and receiving).
- Both parties can hear each other.
Thanks.

Third day now and I made three calls so far. Barely usable until yesterday, and then I tried to use the mmcli to send a SMS (which worked), because the KDE Connect couldn't find a device (list empty) and neither could Telegram (spinning the busy circle forever). Now the signal strength stands at zero, the carrier's name is not displayed, and mmcli first showed the modem at position 1 (found it on 2 when I sent that message). Two minutes later it reports "no modems found".

I've found that there's some config file where the power control on a modem can be set so it doesn't get turned off, and opened that file with nano, but nano is unusable - the cursor stands at top of file, and the input method is the one for terminal, with just up and left arrow, no way to move the cursor to the end of line. Also doesn't recognize the ctrl+ characters, i.e. unusable. If there's a better editor available, I'd like to know.

I managed to ssh into the phone from my PC and that at least speeds up the attempts.
So... my supply of questions is near endless, but first
- how do I wake up the modem(s) and keep it awake
- how do I make KDE connect fill its list of devices
