If anyone has suggestions regarding receiving sms I'm interested. Best I can gather is Chat has an issue fetching messages from the modem.

Using "modem-manager-gui" as my sms app I'm able to send and receive sms on VZ... not as polished looking as Chatty, but at least it works. The trouble I've had would seem to be on Chatty's end, not Pine64.

The Pine phone is probably too new to be listed as approved or not approved  'I think'  anywhere.
  I would ask a knowledgeable tech if the 'Modem'  is approved.

I 'Think'  I have seen some Verizon users have success with text,  so possibly you could attempt with a different operating system ?

I am a GUI only user,  but I have had Great success using Mobian 'Out of the Box' with default settings on the AT&T PrePaid network.

I use my Brave Heart as a daily driver, even with a few imperfections.

I did not notice you mention which O.S.  you are attempting to use ?


To follow up on this otherwise abandoned thread. I was able to make a call using Mobian and UT today. Although they needed to use a fake imei number to actually get a sim from them.
