For US we got an analog phone but Europe got GSM from the start as that was already the system in use in Europe.

You may have a faulty SIM or the SIM contacts are cruddy. The phone in car does require the full size SIM and not the mini SIM that is about 1/4 in. by 3/8 in.
We don't get Euro tech notes in US for accessory features not in this market. There may be an upgrade to PHM for new SIM types. Ask a Volvo dealer. It will not be a free upgrade if there is one.
The fact you can complete a call even without voice means your phone is making a handshake with the network.
