Re: Can I use Quectel EG18 from a phone?
You would need a hot air station and a suitable module to put the modem in. That modem is soldered directly to the main board of the phone and all of it's auxiliary components are part of the main board. What you are basically wanting to do would be similar to pulling the processor out of a laptop (soldered in) and wanting to transplant it into a desktop (socketed cpu). You need more components and someone with the ability to play with the firmware to possibly get it to work.
