Are you really going to check the LRN for each user's number every day? If not, restricting to wireless only is pointless. Bandwidth.com will happily port in and out phone numbers from wireless carriers in minutes, you could easily hav

What qualifies though? Are US Cellular, Inland Wireless, Viaero, Verizon and such whitelisted? If so, which of their operating carrier numbers are whitelisted? Or are they doing this the ghetto fabulous way by NPA-NXX carrier allocation wit

PWAs on Android seem to have restricted push notification access (for me they always show up under silent notifications from my browser), and things get a bit mixed up when your browser has multiple push notifications authorized. Asking the

Even here in expensive Seattle our top rate (when you go above 500kWh a month, which is $0.1056/kWh) is $0.1307 per kWh. If you go just north the top rate falls to $0.10/kWh, and many PUDs in the state charge around half that pric
