Eamon -

Is your port using the new container model ( ie. Android bits running in 
lxc container )?

The first thing you need to do with respect to getting telephony working 
is determine whether or not ofono can communicate with rild.

So, you should first verify that rild is running on your device.  Next 
you want to verify that ofono is running and that it can communicate 
with rild.

On a device where ofono *can* talk to rild, you should see the following 
log message right after ofono starts up:

Nov 19 01:18:05 ubuntu-phablet ofonod[24194]: [UNSOL]< UNSOL_RIL_CONNECTED

Note, it's also useful when trying to debug ofono/rild problems, to run 
ofono in the foreground as opposed to in normal daemon mode.  Stop ofono 
by runnnig:

# stop ofono

...and then run ofono in the foreground as follows:

# ofonod -n -d -p ril,rilmodem

"-n" tells ofono to run in the foreground.
"-d" tells ofono to use debug logging ( warning this generates a *lot* 
of output )
"-p" tells ofono to load the specificed plugins

Once you've verified that ofono can talk to rild, the ofono-scripts are 
your next resource, especially 'list-modems'.  These can be found in the 
direcory /usr/share/ofono/scripts.

Hope this helps!
