hi fedi, are there any portable routers that make it possible to do actual phone calls with the phone number associated with the router's sim card? ideally in a way that lets me make and receive calls from any connected device (within reason)
i can find precisely zero information about that on the open internet but this would be a majorly useful feature for me

@spacekatia@girlcock.club If you truly wish to do that, You'd need a mobile router that can do VOIP and a provider for said VOIP functionality. This is NOT an easy setup if you don't even know what to look for. It also doesn't have much of any benefit over just receiving calls normally, unless you want each device to have individual numbers... This is also the kind of functionality you won't find in consumer devices, let alone mobile routers.

@spacekatia@girlcock.club a smartphone with local hotspot feature would technically fulfill the usecase
