Hi, Maemo Leste uses ofono, not ModemManager. So how did you end up with mmcli on your installation? I would recommend uninstalling ModemManager if you installed it manually

With latest image it should this easy to start use Pinephone beta edition as phone with Maemo Leste:
- put sdcard with Maemo Leste (image wrote with dd) in sdcard slot.
- start your phone (first boot sometimes have to start two times)
- write you SIM-card-pin
- Call with Sphone dialer icon or write SMS with Sphone New SM- icon (both apps comes with image)
btw. this answer was wrote with Pinephone Keyboard.

Well with a fresh install and some research I found that modem-manager-gui is compatible with ofono and the status showed things connected and I was able to edit some config data including APN but other variables used with Android like mmc type were not included so I just entered the APN and clicked the "activate" button but "failed" was the result.
I did happen to receive a call while connected but could not place outgoing calls and still no data.
I read about an ofonoctl function but could not find it.
I installed Network-Manager for the usb ethernet and something wierd happened. Since no icon was found I started it via command line, then I got a message stating something saying ifup and ifdown managed the network and to delete their config file for Network-Manager to work (something like that) and then after snooping and a reboot, the usb ethernet was working but I could no longer find Network-manager. Command not found. I dunno, maybe I'm losing it.

maemo leste has it's own 'network manager.' please don't install another
you can add/edit the APN by opening Settings/Control Panel, choosing Internet Connections, and modifying the appropriate one.
and yes, ofonoctl is not in Maemo Leste and is not needed

On a side note it's interesting that when I select commtest as the backend and dial a number, I will receive an incoming call from that same number and if I answer the call then hang up the incoming call repeats. Only when I reject the call will it stop and show a missed call notification.

if you have access to IRC, consider joining #maemo-leste on the libera.chat network

I'm using the so called docking station usb c plug-in and my router is the dhcp server. I acknowledge that there may be another way to get lan connected but internet connections isn't it and Network-Manager worked without configuring. I'm not much into the chat scene but will look into IRC, thanks.
Tinkering with mmcli commands I confirmed that the modem is registered plus the system icons show 4g and PureTalk with okay signal but no data and when entering a number and hitting "call" after a few seconds the dialer just resets.
Looking at the logfile, syslog I think, it was curious(to me) to see a PMOS modem setup routine called but I saw no errors.
Another thing is that on PMOS with PureTalk I had to run an mmcli command to set the APN to RESELLER to get things working but that command was not recognized on Leste plus when researching mmcli commands online I found that some of the commands were not found in the Leste install.
Thanks in advance for any input.
