An excellent analogy for doing away with free markets and going back to, at the very least, mixed economys with some sort of oversight to prevent these kinds of things from happening again.

01 06 88 80 80 80 00 BE → sent as a data SMS to port 2948

I'm not familiar with WAP Push and how it works, but is it possible to disable it or block that port on a non-rooted phone?

Businesses who validate phone numbers often use an API (like Twilio Lookup or one of the many, many other services) to check for VoIP numbers and automatically reject them most of the time. Unfortunately, lots of VoIP is used in fraud, so the will often just reject them out of hand. If this is happening, none of the other "virtual" number services will work and you'll want to get a cheap eSIM.

I think this is a great idea, but I'm not qualified to comment on how good the design or concept is or anything like that. But a printer not made by the big printer companies where you can buy/refill your own ink, repair it & etc would definitely be a welcome product.

It's really a shame Opera didn't open source the Presto engine.
