I run a contracting business and have had straight panic attacks over not being able to find my phone as I'm rushing out the door for the day. I really need to set up an asterisk server and keep my sim cards there but I just don't have time, nor am I paying a service a ridiculous monthly fee to run it.

Uhm can you explain a little more about the asterisk server and the sims cards. I thought asterisk wasn't for mobile phones.

I'm trying to remember myself, but I remember reading about a way to feed a sim interface into a digital telephony card for use with asterisk. It was basically like a modem the fed a voip/sip line into the system. This was years ago that I read this and I could be completely misremembering it.

I know Apple is restrictive, like that other guy who commented who likes to apply customizations, but I love that apple products talk to each other seamlessly. I could have gone on through my tablet, except that I don’t pay for it to have its own wireless signal.

That’s actually how I found my phone. My neighbor let me tag on to her WiFi and I used the Find My Phone feature with my iPad. Saved me from a meltdown lol
