It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

    More referring to selling a device classified as a mobile phone that might not be able to connect to emergency services without any tinkering. My google-fu is failing me now, but I’m trying to see what the actual requirements are, if they exist at all, to sell a mobile phone. All I’m seeing is that the radio shall connect to any available base stations during an emergency call regardless of subscriber status.

    I don’t know how the linux phone OS’s are handling these kind of interactions with their baseband processing, if at all.

      This is handled in the modem Firmware. Linux just has to supply “User has dialed number x, go into emergency mode” and then route the audio.

      This is solved for all Linux phones as far as I know. From Openmoko over N900 till Librem 5.
