+ <h2><a href="#carrier-functionality">Carrier functionality</a></h2>
+
+ <p>GrapheneOS aims to work with all carriers that are officially supported by Google
+ on the stock operating system on Pixel devices. Wi-Fi Calling, VoLTE, Visual Voicemail,
+ MMS, SMS, Calling and 5G (SA and NSA) all are supported, however some functionality may
+ not be usable due to Google not supporting carriers on the stock OS officially or
+ due to GrapheneOS not shipping proprietary apps required in order for this
+ functionality to work on some carriers. GrapheneOS extracts CarrierConfigs, APNs,
+ modem configurations, Visual Voicemail configurations and MMS configurations from the
+ stock operating system to ensure users get easy carrier support that "just works".</p>
+
+ <p>Please note that in some regions, LTE is referred to as 4G.</p>
+
+ <p>Generally Visual Voicemail, SMS, MMS, Calls and VoLTE will work fine on GrapheneOS
+ with officially supported carriers by Google. Wi-Fi calling may vary due to a reliance
+ on proprietary Google apps which GrapheneOS does not ship.</p>
+
+ <p>If you are having problems sending or receiving SMS/MMS messages, we suggest that
+ you perform the following steps:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Deregister your phone number from <a href="https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage">Apple iMessage</a></li>
+ <li>Deregister your phone number from <a href="https://messages.google.com/disable-chat">Google Chat Features</a></li>
+ <li>Deregister your phone number from your carrier's RCS service</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>If you continue to have problems despite following the instructions above or you
+ have another carrier related issue, we suggest that you perform the following steps:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Some carriers require you to explicitly opt in to use services such as Wi-Fi calling.
+ Consult your carrier's documentation on the process for this or contact them.</li>
+ <li>Reset Mobile Network settings in Settings ➔ System ➔ Reset options ➔ Reset Wi-Fi,
+ mobile &amp; Bluetooth and then reboot the device.</li>
+ <li>USA users only: You may need to request your carrier to enable CDMA-less mode if
+ you have issues.</li>
+ <li>Follow your carrier's instructions for setting up APNs, this can be found in
+ Settings ➔ Network &amp; Internet ➔ SIMs ➔ Access Point Names</li>
+ <li>As a last resort you may need to ask your carrier for a replacement SIM card.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>GrapheneOS includes bypasses for carrier restrictions on APN editing, tethering via
+ USB, Ethernet, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and the ability to disable 2G, actions which would not
+ have been possible on the stock operating system.</p>
