Well, my story so far: Ubports looks like a nice OS (bcnaz suggestion to use Etcher to make a bootable sdcard was essential). But. It doesn't automatically see my SIM, I haven't fought with it about that yet, so no calls either way even if the software was capable of it.
I then tried PostmarketOS, which does see SIM without any backchat, so that's nice. Texting works sending and receiving. So that's nice too. But all my friends are on Signal, so I was trying to figure out how to install axolotl (Signal client) on an Alpine OS, and from what I can see, you can't. Yet anyway. So back to ubports to see if I can get it to work there. I realize this is a different issue than getting mobile calling working, but in terms of being able to communicate with the world, it's all part of the same general question.
Now I see wild rumors that calling works on Sailfish.... I wonder if Signal runs on it? ??
