@Mynameisallen @potatoguy VoLTE is supported on the #Librem5 with #postmarketOS - I’m daily driving one. Old units will need modem firmware upgrade plus enabling #VoLTE manually.

@DarkAri The #Librem5 does work in the US with T-Mobile, various smaller carriers and @purism 's AweSIM.

@DarkAri @warmaster Agreed. @henry Linux phones are the only long-term freedom and privacy respecting solution. Check out the #Furiphone #FLX1s from @furilabs

I’m daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and most important things work OK despite the modest specs. I especially appreciate the removable user-replaceable battery and general modularity. However, the feature I use most (more than calls and messages even) is… the #HeadphoneJack!

@Auli @jcs I’m daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and everything really important works for my use case, including legacy unencrypted phone calls (VoLTE), SMS messages, 4G data, Wi-Fi, web browsing, email, #e2ee comms with #SignalApp, #DeltaChat, #Matrix, #XMPP, latest apps from #Flathub, etc.

Even running many Android apps with #Fdroid and #Obtainium work via #Waydroid although I tested that on #PureOS, not #postmarketOS.

Sure it’s nowhere as fast as mainstream Android phones and has only basic camera support, but then those aren’t my priorities when looking at #freedomtech.

@TrickDacy @DrDystopia Try #FLX1s from @furilabs

@chocrates @DeathByBigSad If you’re already used to Linux desktop, I’d even venture to say that Linux phones are daily drivable for you in this order: #FLX1s from @furilabs, #JollaC2, #LibertyPhone, #Librem5, #Pinephone.

I’m daily driving a #Librem 5 with #postmarketOS and everything critical actually works for my use case.

@Ilovethebomb @Fizz Depends on your circle but in my experience, these are the same people who completely locked into WhatsApp, Facebook, Gmail, etc and only use SMS/calls when you don’t answer their WA messages : )

@Fizz @oxysis Agreed, after #SaltTyphoon, no one should be using legacy unencrypted calls and SMS for personal communication. A data-only SIM with instant messaging apps for calls and messages can work in 2025.
