The GSM subsystem is powered directly from the battery (through a
switch) so yes, you'll lose your call if you remove the battery.

Not sure why Wolfgang mentioned the LEDs. They're on IO_3V3, so they
should be fine.

(Note that whether a system will boot without battery also depends
on the PMU's initial configuration and the state of the backup
battery.)
