    Because basic telephony functionality is not basic at all.

    I got it working here, but it was the hardest part of this project by far: https://ani.social/post/34656971

    But what makes it hard is that you’re dealing with very obsfucated hardware that really doesn’t want to cooporate with a complex protocol that every carrier also implements slightly differently.

      I’ll buy a fairphone if they release a larger model, like 6.8-6.9 ok inches and it works in us

        Holy smokes, and here I am thinking that 6" is too big but no mainstream devices are below that anymore. I remember when we called these phablets and IMO 4.5" was acceptable and very pocketable.

        I assume people craving a 7" phone are using it as one of their main media consumption devices instead of a desktop, laptop, or TV.
