AweSIM and VoLTE status

Maybe but that in and of itself would undermine the idea that you can (very theoretically at this stage) take out the existing M.2 modem card and put a random M.2 modem card in, where you yourself could in theory have written the necessary interface code to run in the Librem 5.

True freedom to replace and/or upgrade as you see fit would mean that the whitelist is thrown away.

I have no idea what reality is.
