Free phone calls for Africa & the poorest of the poor

 According to this article your average African spends 8.8% of his income for 1GB of data.

This is how to use whatsapp without a sim card and piggy back on anothers wifi for your phone calls for free. 

This is more info I'm looking into for free SMS'es etc but the whatsapp route is away easier and likes being free so why mess with legal wrangling to get free phone calls. Whatsapp has 2 billion users worldwide as of Mar 2022, a quarter of the worlds population.

How android open source uses the modem, the layer is callled RIL radio interface layer.
The standard RIL uses the exact same AT modem commands I programmed at option when writing a 3d usb modem driver on a qualcomm chipset.
I am interested in sharing a phone connection via asterisk PABX software running on a raspberry pi with modem or ideally a plain mobile phone.
so africans can make cheap calls over wifi sip etc all sharing the one sim as a PABX over wifi.
8% of an africans income goes to get 1GB of data per month.
They need it more than i do.
It's the only useful bit of software left that I can write that might make a difference as my skills are getting increasingly obselete owing to lazyness.

Muel mail and internet

I am making muel email and internet using gps protocol for the poor in Africa, delivery is done by carrying mail folders by phone or solid state disk from places without internet to a site with free wifi internet connection, the entire worthwhile internet can be delivered  by in a carry on bag full of solid state disks on a cheap commercial flight, a carrier pigeon can deliver 1 terabyte of email. High latency high throughput. Google add support for google searches via email sending back 3 web pages of results and files or i will have to kludge it.  If you think starlink can't be beaten maybe it can, if abaquerre warp drive  gets developed we can go back in time the worlds experiences can be delivered to people in the past via RNA which stores memories or using nuralink or simply by projecting images onto a wall with a projector from the solid state disks this is possibly how psychadellics work.

  I'm making plastic pony express email for Africans without an Internet connection i need to transfer thunderbird mailboxes via WiFi to yahoo. Will you help, I'm using GPS protocol and my carpool website for post box like management of data stored on phones and solid state disks airline hostesses will put their phone online in 5g connected countries with email from the back of beyond as well as free African WiFi hotspots. It is a small job and will be your legacy if you go for more glory. Also Google searches via email will be done sucking up first  page of results Wikipedia and one in direction level down from the Google search for pdfs and send it back as a cached result which others can use elastic search on the phone or raspberrypi.org.  I looked at  Sendmail book by O'Reilly available online, 1200 hard to read pages !!!, the code for sendmail is shorter.The users of this technology won't be sendmail guru's it's an unrealistic expectation. I'm looking ...
