>Where 2G and 3G are switched off, calls need a module firmware with VoLTE and a carrier that allows it; ask the seller. This is a huge caveat. OP, does your setup even support VoLTE? Otherwise this might become a brick in a few years as your carrier shuts down 2G/3G, as many carriers around the world have already done | ||

Yes, the Quectel EC25-EUX supports VoLTE natively on the modem baseband, and from the board's perspective the audio path is identical: the modem handles the IMS/SIP registration and AMR codec internally and outputs standard 1.8V PCM digital audio to the RP2040 whether the call is over VoLTE or 2G/3G fallback. I put that caveat in the README because VoLTE support in practice depends on carrier whitelisting and having the right carrier MBN profile loaded on the Quectel module (AT+QMBNCFG), not on the rest of the PCB. Here in Europe, 2G/3G is still up for a few more years, and major carriers have MBN profiles in the standard EC25-EUX firmware, so testing both VoLTE registration and CSFB fallback will be part of bring-up when the board lands. | ||
