Could this be used for LTE roaming? My parents live out in the middle of nowhere - no cell tower reception, but Starlink works so they have internet. I'd love to get them local LTE coverage for cell phone calls and text messages.

No wifi calling support? I had thought that was nearly universal?

Also, IIRC, LTE is mutually authenticated and your parents would not be able to attach to a private LTE network unless they have a SIM that's setup for it.

Wifi calling unfortunately has its quirks even if it could be used

I've never got WiFi calling working despite my network nominally supporting it. I'd love a technical deep dive if you know anyone who has written it?
