    Calls and texts are not listed as supported. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do not work. Just have a look a PostmarketOS support. Most phones cannot make phone calls.

      PostmarketOS has come a long way. In opposition to proprietary stuff they depend on people contributing which most people dont bother doing (translations, documentation, code).

      That said, if you look here the majority of community supported devices lists calls as working.

      To give this more perspective, I‘m working on a OnePlus6 with PostmarketOS at the moment and trying to make it userfriendly. Its a lot of work and in my case far too advanced for a regular user but contributing in general isnt ans the phones are developing.

      The important part about postmarketOS is that you can finally own your device, unlike with android and ios and even after support ends unlike grapheneOS afaik. Obviously you still have proprietary blobs for modems and such but YOU can be the person that changes this.

      So yes, I‘m a fan. Have a good one. :)

        Thanks so much for your efforts. I own a phone solely for testing PM, so not a hater at all. More disappointed in hardware manufacturers showing so little support.

          Great to hear it. Imo, they have no incentive of doing so. If a country decided that sale of open source hard and software was tax free or at least reduced, we would be seeing it multiply like rabbits.

      I hate the telephone as much as the next guy my age, but it’s still quasi-mandatory to have a functioning telephone to exist in this world. Like…why’d they bother mentioning it in public in this state?
