Make phone calls from Linux

[Murple2]

Wammu might be the only available option on Linux. I'll try it once I'll get my Gemini.

Isn't Wammu SMS only?

No, it supports voice calls too:

Depscribe is right, Wammu does not handle calls.

Like I said before libgammu supports calls, and the link you posted refers to gammu command line app, not wammu

Sorry, my bad, I thought that since they were supported by Gammu, Wammu would support them too. There was a ticket requesting to implement it, but it was rejected:

https://github.com/gammu/wammu/issues/29

We'll have to see if the audio will be automatically redirected to the speakers/headset plug and if calls will work under Gammu, if so, we might open a new ticket requesting to handle this under Wammu too.

Just to point out that under the Gemian - Gemini Keyboard Apps project I'm currently porting ubports (Ubuntu Touch) messaging and dialer apps to D9 for use on the Gemini. Fingers crossed my device is in the first batch or I'm going to be unable to test this for some time...

How reliant is the UT dialier-app on Unity and Mir? How does it interface with the hardware?

it used to be the case that you could send AT commands to a phone module and cause it to make voice calls. If you had a GSM phone with bluetooth, you could use a control app on your phone or PDA to tell the phone to make a voice call.

whether the G is controlled this way, I don't know, but it would be the first thing I would try - to see if there was a serial device seen by the linux kernel which connects to the radio module (even if the radio module is actually a process which simulates a separate modem-like thing).

That is the effort of the port cutting that stuff out and the adding the keyboard shorts cuts and then tidying up the UI. At the moment I'm still building all the dependencies, which seems to be never ending. It bottoms out in ofono and hybris type things, which I'm hoping Planet will have done the other side of...

fwiw, planet on the indiegogo website among the comments today:

We will be updating on Linux over the next few weeks and at Mobile World Congress. Many exciting announcements on the Linux side soon.

and more, sort of, here:
