I am pleased to report that I have activated VoLTE/VoWiFi on my phone through continuous communication with Smart Communications. The phone I use can make and receive calls and texts using WiFi, eliminating any dependence on a telco signal. This feature is handy for individuals who do not have a cellphone signal in their homes.

It was quite a complicated ordeal as the Smart number I've been troubleshooting for months has yet to work. I finally accomplished the task I had been putting off for a while - transferring my phone number from Globe to Smart. The process was made possible through MNP (Mobile Number Portability), which required an additional step. Thanks to the newly implemented law and efficient procedures, I completed the entire process within an hour. The process involved obtaining my Unique Subscriber Code (USC) from Globe, getting a blank SIM card from Smart, and successfully transferring my number to the new SIM card.

Thanks to VoWiFi, I can now receive calls and texts even when my phone is in airplane mode. Furthermore, my phone's battery life has significantly improved, allowing it to run for 1-2 days without recharging.

I successfully purchased a second-hand IP phone at a meager price from an online marketplace, which I then connected to my VoIP/SIP server in Manila using OpenVPN. This has allowed me to have a phone extension from a Manila landline, which is incredibly convenient since we don't have any cellular signal in our apartment. By adding this feature, we have saved significant money by not subscribing to another phone line. However, we are still hopeful for the future addition of Voice over LTE/WiFi, which would allow us to rely on our existing fixed broadband data as transport instead of the signal strength from the telco.

During last year's Black Friday sale, I seized the opportunity to purchase a Synology DS920+ at a significant discount from Amazon. This impressive device will replace my outdated Netgear NAS, which has been used for 7.5 years. The migration process is set to take place this weekend, and I have complete confidence that it will go smoothly. I'm grateful to @talbiniegla, my wife's best friend, for sending the package to the Philippines. Can't wait to utilize this new addition to my home lab setup.

I have been running a Hypervisor in my home lab for almost two weeks. Recently, I migrated my VM OpenWRT router and a Linux Debian-based Plex server, which has incredible hardware transcoding capabilities. My next plan is to migrate my Unifi controller Docker from the cloud to on-premises before my Google Cloud Platform is decommissioned in August. The good news is that it only consumes 10-12 watts while idle, making it an energy-efficient setup.

With my Smart LTE backup plan and Cron shell script, I seamlessly rejoined my MS team's call despite the last drop. PLDT's 20-minute outage posed no challenge to my reliable solution, which was a resounding success. #WANredundancy #FewInterruptions

I am hosting my new Linode cloud server in the Linode Singapore data center. It operates with Docker, an Unifi controller, and a private VPN.

Nah! I'll keep my current one. It has public IP, IPTV and a free landline. #telco #isp https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VUB0bhFoUEnHqrc2dVzHSX6_5-y6doX1mY-80/?igshid=h4k9p6a1ql3z

Tried IPv6 using PLDT. Telco delegated the router a /56 prefix public IP address, that's 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 times 256 usable public IP addresses. #amazeballs Although most websites are still using IPv4 and having selective browsing when testing on solely ipv6. #WhenCanWeFullyUtilizeIPv6 #ipv6 #dualstack https://www.instagram.com/p/B3PXfr4p22hNfDtr4bj82_gKhK1atgd7gy5q0Q0/?igshid=qk3e7rqmxvo8
