Not yet, but the goal is to get there. There's 2 things missing:
1. There's no audio driver in the kernel yet, which is important to make phone 
calls (unless you just wanted SMS, but see point 2.)
2. The modem is connected internally via usb. There's an ehci driver in the 
kernel which enumerates the endpoints in /dev/usb/ep*, but nusb doesn't have 
support for the card. One of the endpoints is the serial line for the AT 
command interface you need to interact with the modem. There's an alternative 
interface for interacting with the modem over one of the uart ports, but it 
doesn't seem like it's worth the effort of getting that up and running since 
another one of the endpoints is the usb audio interface for the other side of 
the call. I haven't touched this yet (other than the ehci part and verifying 
the existing drivers won't work) since it's not self-contained in the kernel.

Once those are done, you could technically make phone calls in theory.

* I still need to put them in an fs and put them online somewhere.
