You don't have to build it yourself, as Biktorgj has pre-made releases available here .
I'm running Phosh on PostmarketOS edge with 01.002.01.002 firmware. The modem does drop out occasionally, but self recovers pretty quickly (I'll wake the phone up and see that there is no cellular signal strength shown on the lock screen. I enter my PIN, and withing 15 seconds the cellular signal strength meter is back in the status bar. And then another few seconds later the 4G symbol is in the status bar.) - I'm in the US using StraightTalk MVNO on AT&T.
I had used Biktorgj's firmware up to 2 weeks ago and in my experience that stock firmware recovers faster. - You experience my differ from mine.
