{{hint|MMS currently doesn't work in any distribution on the PinePhone without a [[PinePhone_Carrier_Support#MMS_workarounds|script]]! This means images and group chats will not work in text messages.}}

This page contains hints on setting up cellular network connectivity for specific carriers.
For more general information, see [[PinePhone#Modem_and_carrier_support|Modem and carrier support]]. For the APN settings see [[PinePhone APN Settings]].

= Check compatibility =
To check if the PinePhone is supported on your carrier:

Search for your carrier on [https://www.frequencycheck.com/ frequencycheck.com] and compare the carrier's LTE/GSM/WCDMA frequencies to the PinePhone's supported frequencies (listed in the [https://www.quectel.com/UploadFile/Product/Quectel_EG25-G_LTE_Specification_V1.1.pdf modem specification sheet]).

It is likely that there will be a few frequencies that your carrier uses which are not supported by the PinePhone. Not all of the carrier's frequencies need to be supported by the PinePhone for it to work - as long as ''most'' of them are supported, you will still get good coverage.

= Special carrier notes =

{{Warning|This section contains providers which do not work or require special settings or actions to work.}}

Some carriers might support only certain frequencies or might require certain settings in Ofono or ModemManager. The following is a list of collected notes for carriers regarding special settings, hints or information:

== USA ==
=== AT&T ===
According to [https://ltefix.com/wp-content/uploads/USA-Major-Carriers-Bands-Frequencies-CA.pdf this page], AT&T's primary bands are 12 and 17 - 700ac and 700 MHz respectively. The PinePhone seems to work out-of-the-box with AT&T. If you transfer a SIM card from another phone you were using with AT&T, you need to activate the PinePhone through [https://www.att.com/buy/wireless/byod/byod AT&T's website]. Calls and SMS messages work. VoLTE is as yet untested.

However, it is likely AT&T will drop support with their network upgrade in the near future like their child company Cricket Wireless already has. [https://www.att.com/ecms/dam/att/consumer/help/pdf/Devices-Working-on-ATT-Network.pdf This page] lists their supported devices for their new network.

=== Consumer Cellular ===

Consumer Cellular is a MVNO that uses both AT&T and T-Mobile networks. On the AT&T network LTE data works without special configuration. If you transfer a SIM card from another phone to the PinePhone, you may need to contact customer support in order for them to register the IMEI association to the correct hardware; in one case it was first incorrectly identified as a Samsung Google Nexus Prime before later being correctly identified by the modem model Quectel EG25-G. Customer support also explicitly enabled VoLTE on the device. After VoLTE instructions on this site were followed and APN instructions on the Consumer Cellular site were followed, VoLTE was confirmed working.

=== Cricket Wireless ===
Cricket wireless is a MVNO that uses AT&T's network. VoLTE was fully supported, but the PinePhone is no longer considered a compatible device in the US by the carrier (as of March 2021).

=== SimpleMobile ===
SimpleMobile is a T-Mobile prepaid MVNO operating in the United States. 4G LTE, VoLTE, data, and SMS all work on the PinePhone after activation. Activation can be done online without extra software or assistance, go to https://www.simplemobile.com/activation/byopcollectsim and make sure you have your SIM card and IMEI ready.

=== Sprint ===
Sprint is currently not supported due to unknown reasons. Any input regarding this issue is highly appreciated.

=== T-Mobile ===
According to [https://ltefix.com/wp-content/uploads/USA-Major-Carriers-Bands-Frequencies-CA.pdf this page],
T-Mobile's primary frequency band for the United States is 12 (700ac MHz).

T-Mobile's bands and protocols are summarized on
[https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/t-mobile-united-states this page].

While the PinePhone's modem does support all LTE bands that T-Mobile uses in the US (And is one of the best choices for band support with the PinePhone's modem in the US), VoLTE is still listed as "Under development" by the modem manufacturer. T-Mobile's system also does not list the PinePhone as a compatible device due to this lack of official VoLTE support. The modem is capable of working on T-Mobile with VoLTE support enabled.

=== Verizon ===
According to [https://ltefix.com/wp-content/uploads/USA-Major-Carriers-Bands-Frequencies-CA.pdf this page],
Verizon's primary frequency band for the United States is 13 (700 MHz). Verizon's bands and protocols are summarized on
[https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/verizon-wireless-united-states this page]. According to the same page, Verizon might restrict their network to only approved devices.

Some users reported that they were able to activate their Verizon SIM by using an Verizon-approved burner phone and then inserting the SIM into the PinePhone.

=== Google Fi ===
Only T-Mobile service works currently, not US Cellular or Sprint.
The APN is h2g2.
Information from [https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11675&page=7 the forum].

Bear in mind that initial activation of the SIM card is not possible without an Android phone running Google Apps.

It should also be noted that Google uses a non-standard MMS implementation that is unlikely to be supported on the PinePhone at any point.

== Europe ==
=== Telekom Germany ===
With low signal, there may be loud interference noise audible in calls on the receiving end. It has not yet been tested whether or not this problem is carrier specific. An easy fix is extending the modem antenna with aluminum foil (or similar) inside the back cover of the phone.

= Known issues =
Known issues:
* The [https://www.frequencycheck.com/models FrequencyCheck model page] does not list either Pine64 or the PinePhone.
* T-Mobile's system does not list the PinePhone as a compatible device due to the lack of official VoLTE support from the manufacturer, despite the fact that it does work.
* MMS doesn't currently work in any distribution on the PinePhone by default. This means images and group chats will not work in text messages.
* Some providers may allow only certain known devices identified by their [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_Allocation_Code Type Allocation Code].

= MMS workarounds =
These scripts allow partial MMS support on a [[PinePhone]]:

* JMMS: [https://git.sr.ht/~amindfv/jmms]
* silvermms: [https://gitlab.com/5ilver/silvermms]
* MMS via Matrix with mmmpuppet: [[PinePhone MMS with Matrix]]

There is a Haskel MMS client. MMS can also be manually composed with mmsd on the command line.

DylanVanAssche: /* Sailfish OS build */

= The Project "Don't be evil" - Phase 2 of PINE64 Smartphone "PinePhone" Development Kit =

Project Don't be evil is an actual smartphone developer kit for the PINE64 Smartphone dubbed "PinePhone". It is used in the early stages of development as a starting point for affiliated projects.
PinePhone development has been broken down into three distinct phases:
* First phase - Project Anakin
* Second phase - purpose-built development kit code named "Don't be evil" and introduced at FOSDEM 2019
* Lastly, the third phase which is the PinePhone itself - scheduled to be prototype released in Q3 2019 and BTO batch released with mobile OS parents in Q4 2019 (pending on software development).

= The Project "Don't be evil" - Phase 2 of PINE64 Smartphone "PinePhone" Development Kit =

Project Don't be evil is an actual smartphone developer kit for the PINE64 Smartphone dubbed "PinePhone". It is used in the early stages of development as a starting point for affiliated projects.
PinePhone development has been broken down into three distinct phases:
* First phase - Project Anakin
* Second phase - purpose-built development kit code named "Don't be evil" and introduced at FOSDEM 2019
* Lastly, the third phase which is the PinePhone itself - scheduled to be prototype released in Q3 2019 and BTO batch released with mobile OS parents in Q4 2019 (pending on software development).

The Sailfish OS image is build on Gitlab CI, the latest image can be installed using our [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script] written in Bash.
The script downloads the image and bootloader from our CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.

'''Instructions:'''

1. Download the flashing script

2. Insert a microSD card in your device

3. Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code>

4. Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code>

5. Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).
