I was trying to make a one-button phone for my father, so I bought a a SIM7600E.
It turned out to be the wrong type. I could use it to send text messages, but the board lacked the audio chip.
So to actually make phone calls you would need a SIM7600E-H.
Cicciocb was kind enough to write a program for me to test the module, but sadly my father died before I had a chance to make an attempt.
The program did work fine for texting though.

Re: Cell Phone DIY
Thank you so much for your kindness
I would like to say it is a strange sensation.
Being comforted on a forum with mostly technically inclined members, who you have never met and who don't know who you are.
It is a heart warming gesture that somehow makes even a bigger impact than the same empathy from friends and family.
Maybe because you take the consideration to let a complete stranger feel that you understand.
It brings tears into my eyes.

Re: Cell Phone DIY
Dear Hendrix
Thank you for replying with more context.
I'd like to offer my condolences to the memory of your late father.
When you first replied I felt bad about myself because I resurrected an old topic that reminded you of your father's last days, but I was pleased to see other members offer their condolences and you moved by their kindness.
I hope you find solace and live many healthy years to cherish the special moments you had with your father and honour his memory.
