thanks for testing this. However I am not sure how representative these
tests are since we are basically dealing with data-only modem. I know
that the MBM in theory can support some sort of voice calls, but for the
currently on the market MBM devices, that support might not be tested at
all or being proper certified.

So I think we need to get some feedback from the Ericsson guys and how
this is suppose to work (or maybe not work).
