        Check this out from Hugh Jeffreys YouTube channel. It gives a good explanation of the issues of the dropping of 3G network (in Australia, but it will affect us all). It shows that 4G and 4G VOLTE may not be the panecea we think it could be.

          @MrT10001 Why I have promoted SIP as a solution to the problem. It gets around all of that by effectively adding a VoLTE equivalent after the fact.

            @rocket2nfinity That is one solution, but at the moment quite costly. I don't think that Governments realise the effect of dropping 3G is going to have, if they did, I am sure it wouldn't happen.

            I will link to your post here.

            How is SiP progressing? I have looked at Linphone.

              @MrT10001 Alfred et al, are working on multiple efforts to get it in the dialer, but no results yet.

              Currently, our best solutions are the experimental linphone app, and the Google Voice app. Both work well, but have no integration with the dialer and no push notifications. If the app is on and unsuspended though, you will hear it and be able to receive calls (except on devices with aggresive sleep states). So, for example, P2XL can receive calls while sleeping, P3a cannot.

                And I pay $3/mo for sip service. That price has gone up to $5 for new subscribers. That, and my $10/mo data only sim makes the monthly phone bill $15. So, not as expensive as regular phone service in the US with the big three.
