As much as I want a FLOSS phone to succeed, I have my doubts. Then again, I'm not sure how all the Matrix stuff works, but if I can't simply give someone my phone number and expect it to just work, I don't see how this can happen.

Can someone explain it more simply? Does it completely forego SIM cards? Will it 'just work', or is it more of a 'we made progress in this area, but not a lot of people are going to find it practical' thing like Replicant?

In the crowdsourcing page, they say it can be used with a regular carrier number, or with mobile data plan + VoIP, or just WiFi + VoIP (see section "A No-Carrier Phone?").
