1. **Nobody voice calls M2M sim numbers**
M2M sim cards are for machine-to-machine communication and are up to
15 characters long. Typically they are used for data and SMS messages,
however there are cases in which someone may voice-call an M2M sim.
One example is for in-home & roaming telecare/medical alarms,
in the event of an alarm activation then automated voice messages can be
played on the device via telephony APIs, or a human may call the device
directly (potentially also via a telephony API).
