Wow that’s a very interresting development. I took a quick peek at the quicktel website. https://www.quectel.com/product/lte-a-em060k-series Good find :star_struck:

Odds are high that Purism will write another blog article about “shipping new Quectel cellular cards with Librem 5” sometime in the near future, so you can wait until other Librem 5 users have confirmed VoLTE works for them first before manually upgrading the cellular module yourself.

VoLTE works for me shortly. After a reboot I need to activate it again. I was in Luxembourg last weekend and had to activate VoLTE. It work directly, but as mentioned, the setting did not stick after a reboot. In my home country/area, VoLTE is not available, so I’m not using it. I wonder if the…

Fun fact, because you say you’re more interested in laptops: they expect companies using this module in their la…

[image] Ick: they expect companies using this module in their laptops and PCs and nearly any professional and consumer technology … except phones My guess would be that it does not support voice calls. (Now here I go speculating :wink: ) But the absence of any indication of voice support fr…

[image] jonathon.hall: But the absence of any indication of voice support from the information I can see, combined with the fact that they recommend it for everything except phones, would be consistent with that. I think it has more to do with the fact, that smartphones do not use m.2 cards a…

For the dummies in the room, can you speculate as to whether this modem would work for the Librem 5 or not? [image] M.2 Slot in Phone Librem 5 On Todd Weaver’s recent Reddit AMA, he said that the modem in the phone will be in an M.2 socket. See https://www.red…
