As soon an number porting is available, I'll be signing up for a Pro plan.

Been using Google Voice for _years_ and it's only gotten worse.

I know that the whole schtick is that you don't need an app, but is one on the table for Android? Things like native integration with the Dialer and Notifications are a strong candidate for a native integration.

Oh. And JP phone numbers, but that's a stretch goal.

> native integration with the Dialer and Notifications

“Native integration” as in?

Notifications on webapps aren’t a foreign concept today, either.

Native integration with the dialer would mean that when I dial a number in the _stock_ dialer, then it allows you to select the dialing-account/SIM to use.

Notifications are cool, but having the ability to filter the categories of different types of notifications, or from different users, is also something that can't be done via Webapps/PWA.

It can be offered by the settings of the PWA,

and the way things are going,

will be required as part of a PWA manifest for major vendors’ browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari) soon.

The app is in the making, and it turns out it's needed for some customers.

Will put the number porting on our radar very soon.
