Troubleshooting phonecall problem on Librem 5 Birch

Without VoLTE, the phone will be unable to connect calls in the U.S. at some point, and pretty soon. Plus, the carriers won’t allow us to activate it on their networks. I suppose it would still be possible to activate a SIM in a different phone (if its VoLTE-capable) and then transfer to the L5, but the call connection problem remains.
