Hey all,
I want to get away from Android, at the moment my solution is a flip phone. it runs an old version of Android GO, but the lack of practicality drives me away from using it frequently.
are there any good phone/distro combos with working VoLTE? anything to avoid? any advice or recs would be great.
Thanks!

    Some countries (Australia) now entirely block phones which don’t support VoLTE from the network.

    Uncertainty about whether I’d be able to connect is one of the main reasons I haven’t bought a Linux phone yet as well.

      Can confirm this shit sucks, I bought a OnePlus 6 a few months before the 3G shutdown and my phone’s on the banlist for most providers now despite technically being supported, so no calls.

      If you know the IMEI of any phone you want, there are sites that let you check if it’s blacklisted on their network, I can at least tell you the OP 6 is gonna be touch and go if you do commit.
