Well, to be honest, since you are both almost new to (GNU/)Linux and new to smartphones, you are going to be in for a world of pain. The PinePhone is not really a device for beginners. Pine64 is very honest about who the target audience is, and people with only very limited (GNU/)Linux experience are not it.

The PinePhone is also my first smartphone, but I have been using GNU/Linux since the late 1990's. (I was a teenager back then, I am now 39.)

This may be a limitation of the Phosh Calls application (though I do not use Phosh, so I cannot confirm this for sure). The Plasma Mobile Dialer works for those phone systems (at least for the service numbers at my phone service operator, both the toll-free number to check the balance and the voicemailbox system). I do not hear the audible feedback with the Plasma Mobile Dialer either, but the automated system on the receiving end apparently does, because it works.
