I used a flip phone for years are you telling me linux phones can't make phone calls?
Of course the can. Source: I have one.
If you remember the special procedure needed to not fry your SIM, they supposedly can
Linux phones don't fry your SIM though? Mine's fine.
Flu doesn't kill people though? I'm fine.
Flu has been proven to kill people.
The PinePhone has not killed any of my SIMs, and I've heard of nobody else having that happen. Nowhere on Pine64 conmunities. The burden of proof is on the one which made the claim that PinePhones kill SIM cards.
Stop spreading lies like "Pinephone kills SIMs". And if it truly did happen to yours are you sure the SIM didn't stop working because of the PinePhone and would have done anyways?
Librems kill SIMs. Go on the forum and check.

You mean like this? Inserting it with the phone switched on? Older phones had this issue. Not unique to Linux phones.
And Librem is by far not the only Linux phone. Most do not kill SIMs. You can't just make a blanket statement like that because of one model's fault.
That's like saying all Samsung phones blow up.
I stand corrected, they're great phones
thats absolutely fucked, lol. Why even sell these if they cant make calls
They can. And I've never heard of them frying SIMs. I had my SIM in one for a year and it still works fine.
