I'm new here, and have a few questions:
1. My hope is to have the PinePhone be my ONLY device, just making a few voice calls, and hosting a website on it using NGINX or Apache
at the SAME time using the cellular modem, NOT WiFi. Before you say this is crazy - I'm at home (in the U.S.) almost all the time, but have a great
connection using a Verizon unlimited voice/data plan. I'd just like to try it out - it would be cool if it works, don't you think? Does anyone know for
sure if the PinePhone (preferably the Convergence package with more memory, etc.) will be able to handle this?
2. Is the PinePhone actually available? I've emailed the Sales Dept., but got no response. On the PineStore, it shows the EU edition only - being in the U.S.,
would it be wrong for me to get that? And does it matter whether it is the Mobian, KDE, or Manjaro version?
3. Since the PinePhone is not an "officially supported" Verizon phone, would I be able to just take out the Sim card of my current phone (an iPhone)
and put it in the PinePhone and have it work?
Sorry for all the questions, and thank you in advance to anyone who can help.
Quick google got me this: https://m2mdeveloper.verizon.com/docs/ts...evice.html
you gotta jump some hoops with verizon but it seems to be possible to get an APN with open ports / a public IP or at least some forwarding.
Nginx runs well, I'm hosting a static website on my pinephone *on 4G*
