So you're right that even if we get an enhanced voice mail notification message 
the Mailbox number won't be signaled unless we have the SIM provisioned with 
EF-MBI & EF-MBDN.

The problem is, if we don't have the SIM files available, then the next time 
oFono is restarted this information is lost anyway until the next MWI 
notification arrives.  So you're back to not being able to dial the mailbox.

This is also an issue with the indications themselves.  If we don't have EF-
MWIS provisioned, the information is lost when oFono is restarted.  So we're 
now inconsistent between MBDN/MWIS, so maybe we shouldn't update them either 
in this case.

One solution is to always store this info on the filesystem and backup to SIM.

The other solution is to preserve current behavior, but to also expose the 
enhanced notifications in a separate interface (as discussed previously) and 
include any Mailbox numbers there.

Thoughts?
