Additional information

  • It used to work on Manjaro ARM (before I switched to pmOS). I had problems, but that was fixed for like the 9 list months I've used it.
  • This issue should not be considered as « trivial ». Even if with some people I have other ways of communication, I probably missed important messages from other people (or companies : bank, ...). I haven't received any message since I'm on pmOS.
  • I've seen that issue : #731 But the command noted there (and on some other sites) makes me a bit afraid. I'm not sure if it's just deleting kind of a blocker or messages. I won't try if it is not 99,9% letting my incoming messages safe.
  • The PinePhone FAQ tells that the messages should be queued in the modem, even after a reflash. However, the command noted here do not return me anything.
  • I've also seen that enabling roaming data should fix the issue. However the PlaMo kcm don't let me enable roaming data. The switch stays off.
  • That « risky » situation (at least from my side) made me asking here, to get help from pros (at least better pros than me) : as you understood, I don't really want to do a misstep.
