do they make phone calls? can they tether 5G?

If so, I might be able invert my plan: use the Linux phone with phone/5G/useful software most of the time, and a cheap android phone in my bag that only comes out for things that need the monopoly apps and tethers to the useful one occasionally when necessary.

Both of those phones support LTE only. Both make/receive phone calls, but the Librem 5 is more stable on that front.

The Fairphone 4/5 supports 5G, but I don't know how stable they are on pmOS/Mobian

any suggestions on how you would call somebody on an iPhone over 5G or WiFi instead of a proper phone call on these? currently use WhatsApp.
