I'm not running my own service. I'm using www.iptel.org, they offer a free sip account. Under the hood they use the Kamailio sip server. It is pretty darn reliable for a free service.
Every few months iptel.org goes down for a few hours and I get 408 request timeouts. When Spectrum blocked 5060 UDP, I got 408 request timeouts for a week. It finally dawned on me to try my iptel account on my VPS and my SIP register succeeded. That's when I knew Spectrum had shut 5060 UDP. I tried 5060 TCP and that didn't work either.
>> Guess they want you to pay for their bundled phone plan instead.
I think you are right. But I am waaaay to cheap for that. I'm using Twilio on some Raspberry Pi's with some software I wrote myself. For 3 phone numbers, I'm spending like $10 a month total.
My call quality also seems better since I've switched on the VPN. I do not have numerical proof of this, but it sure seems like my voice calls are crystal clear now.
>> There is literally no other option to watch YouTube on a TV nowadays
I use https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext Smart Tube Next on a Firestick. I side loaded both the beta and release versions with adb. I have not seen a commercial since. If Release doesn't work, try Beta. One of them always seems to work.
>> And it's impossible to buy a dumb TV in 2022
Next best thing: I bought a Samsung TV last year and never accepted the Terms and Conditions. No ads.

US based non profit, not tied to amazon. I've bought their stuff. They are legit.
It would be much nicer if they showed 'SOLD OUT' on anything not in stock rather than nothing. (Firefox, Linux, even on my 'no plugins' profile and after creating an account.) It just shows reviews and nothing else on any masks page.
Debug console shows...
They aren't depending on Facebook for antifruad are they? How will they ever sell to someone security minded like me that refuses to ever sign up there?

Probably, their support system mailed me back overnight asking me to use anything webkit based (using consumer terms; Edge or Chrome).
I know that Apple's other webkit fork has to be on the tested path too, but you'd think they could also at least do BASIC validation (does it work at all) against some version of Firefox (even if it isn't the Linux version).

>> All traffic passing through Twilio is categorized as application-to-person traffic.
Thanks, I didn't know that.
>> If you haven't registered your brand, been assigned a trust score, and registered your specific number with a specific a2p campaign, you'll be subjected to heavy filtering.
I've done none of the above. I've been using Twilio for 3 years and this is the first time I've ever had an SMS rejected. I don't get it.
>> I think voip.ms only allows person-to-person traffic. Try registering a number there and sending the same message that got blocked.
That's not just anecdotal. The carriers do process short code and toll free traffic differently from regular 10DLC. You don't even need do register an a2p campaign for them.
