The Android SIP stack is pretty crummy. Last I tried to use it there was no support for TLS registration (leaving your calls unencrypted, barebacking the web) or for push notifications. Linphone, Zoiper, etc can show a badge in your notific

McGinn made a few cushy positions for his friends and did not get much done. Very similar to Greg Nickels IMO, who was only ousted after his cronies that ran SDOT totally bodged Snowpocalypse, followed by him coming out and saying he though

Have you considered doing this on a higher category LTE modem (eg: a Cat16 modem like the Nighthawk M1) and modifying the TTL to enable tablet/phone SIMs to function in said device? A Cat4 modem is pretty long in the tooth and will lik
