phonebook app does not send sms or voice call

[tckosvic]

Perhaps next update will fix phonebook entirely.

Hehe - you was too optimistic Currently neither in beta 9 nor in developer edition the phonebook app can neither initiate a call nor start a sms sending process...

Au contraire,  I just installled beta9.  Phonebook can now make a call and also send an sms.  Previously, for me in beta8, it could make a call but not an sms. It also finds contacts fine.  I can't understand how different results are being seen on the same pinephone systems.  I have a consumer cellular sim card.  Perhaps there is some differences there.

But chatty (installed as chats), still does absolutely nothing.  No options including preferences open up anything.  I also ran from a terminal and there were no error messages to the terminal.  Yet others report good functionality from chatty.  Really weird.

At least , I have a functioning phonebook.
