Just my opinion, but in my opinion, if you have sms working, why not get it
upstream so others can join the fun?

Also, some of the cell phone modules I worked with back in the day and an
audio capability on their own. Does the one in the pine phone do that?

Once those are done, you could technically make phone calls in theory.<br>
