According to Nokia: Unlocking a device means you may lose some of its functionalities, including – but not limit to – telephone, radio, audio, video, payment, encryption and DRM.

As with probably all Android devices, unlocking the bootloader breaks the SafetyNet[1].

And any custom Android ROM requires drivers to be able to completely support the hardware of a particular device.

Why would that break the ability to make phone calls though? Unless they mean now you have the capability to break it, not that unlocking it may break it
