Understood but I am not interested in VOIP. I am interested in implementing phone application functions. Again, based on my limited understanding, Line2 is not just a VOIP application. It actually performs phone app functions and can let users pamek calls over the AT&T network, but I could be wrong.
As far as I know, in Android security/permission barriers prevent any application from using/implementing phone app functions. Thank you.
