OK! Warm up your soldering iron:

available from the Brookhaven National Lab engineer Justine Haupt
that built the first one. Backstory here:

But it seems not to be a _complete_ kit. There's a list of stuff
you need to supply on your own. But, there does not seem to be
any unobtainium in the list.
It sure would be a WOW! factor at the next cocktail party I go to.
But, WAIT!!! I don't go to cocktail parties....

[cutting out a lot of stuff ..]
I wonder if something like a PinePhone would be more cooperative --
or a phone with Replicant installed, or other free/libre OS? I've
been considering one of those options, because otherwise I believe
that I will move back to a landline.
I was thinking about building my own phone from scrap parts. Something
like the Siemens C55, just with an arduino + Sim800 module + 18650 :) Don't
use a smartphone, that's smart.
Anyway ... if the phone is rooted, then I believe that this
problem is supposed to disappear. This is on my list, but there
are other things that rank higher or are more immediate concerns.
Won't spill the fun, but the problem might not disappear. I have
here a Samsng Galaxy note something with linageos. It can't do
usb-masstorage-device.
