welp. my phone bricked.
fuck it.
I need help. #AskFedi
Can I get #WayDroid ( #Android #LineageOS) to use my phone number somehow for calls and everything? Is there a service for this?
Do you use your #Linux / #Fedora laptop for #telephony?

@travisfw Totally bricked, no bootloader?
@thestrangelet yeah unresponsive
@travisfw That sucks. Swappa is a decent place to find a used phone in good condition if you're looking to save a few bucks.
@thestrangelet it came back from the dead!
zombie phone.
but its days are probably numbered so I appreciate the tip, and this task remains a priority
@travisfw Zombie phone! 😂
I'm just going to keep boosting this until I either get better answers, or answer it myself, because this is the problem to solve today. Might be resorting to Perplexity in a minute.
… good thing I mirrored my most important files and media on my laptop with Syncthing.
@travisfw
i think short version is no.
you probably mean tele carrier based pstn services like phone call and sms. that requires modem chip and sim card, assuming mobile.
voip or similar is possible but it is different kind of service.
@zetabeta @travisfw +1
You need to get SIM con to Linux with Hardware.
But since your Fedora/Linux hardware doesnt seem to have mobile carrier support you won‘t get your phonenumber connected.
There is no magic.
MNT Reform has „Cellular“ Data usesble with SIM slot, your sim card defines Number.
No connect to linux, No way to connect Phonenumber right?
