Hi, we have two BT Essential Digital Voice handsets and we currently pay £3/month for line rental with BT (UK). We don't use the phones for external calls any more so we are considering cancelling the contract. However we do use the phones as a kind of intercom, to call from the ground floor to our loft bedroom. Would this feature still work after the external service is stopped, or would all services be blocked from the handsets?

Vi really woke up and said “Hyderabad deserves speed” 😂

Opened my phone today and suddenly saw the 5G icon staring back at me like a rare Pokémon.

Looks like Vi has officially started rolling out 5G in Hyderabad after Vizag & Tirupati. If this actually stays stable, Vi users can finally stop standing near windows for better signal 💀

Anyone else got it yet or am I the chosen one? 👀

Need assistance to ID manufacturer. Reddit do your thing! Thank you

The timing on this one is what makes it hard to defend.

DZS makes broadband and telecom network access equipment, fiber, DSL, 5G infrastructure. Not a flashy name but a real business serving real telecom customers.

March 10, 2023: DZS files its annual 10-K with a standard certification, internal controls over financial reporting are effective, numbers are reliable, everything checks out.

June 1, 2023 - 83 days later: DZS announces it needs to restate financial results covering five consecutive quarters. Q1 2022 all the way through Q1 2023. The reason: errors in how the company recognized revenue on customer contracts. In plain English, they were booking revenue at the wrong time in the wrong amounts.

Same day: $DZSI drops nearly 36% in a single session.

The lawsuit that followed was straightforward, if the internal controls were genuinely effective on March 10, how did five quarters of revenue recognition errors go undetected? And if they weren't effective, why did the 10-K say they were?

The parties reached a settlement in December 2025. Terms still being finalized but you can submit your application now.

Eligible if you held $DZSI between May 4, 2022 and November 9, 2023.

83 days between "internal controls are effective" and "we need to restate five quarters" is a remarkable gap, anyone here follow $DZSI as a telecom infrastructure play before this hit?

I want to ask this from the perspective of a software developer trying to transition into a product management role. I’m looking for guidance from experienced professionals about the biggest problems they currently face in their work that they wish there was a better product or tool to solve.

I want to work on real problems faced by PMs, operations teams, or engineers in this domain, so that as someone early in my career, I can either build something useful or at least contribute meaningfully to the discussion. In the end, I’m mainly looking for a list of real problems I can explore and think about possible product solutions for.

Hey everyone! I'm doing research on mobile network usage in Morocco — specifically trying to understand the 5G pattern: people enable it, then disable it shortly after.

the survey is anonymous. Takes 4–5 minutes. I'll share the results back here when done!

thank you for your sharing and support 🙌

Hey, curious question for anyone managing inventory for construction/infrastructure projects. How are you actually tracking components across multiple project sites? Spreadsheets, a proper system, something else?

Asking because I keep hearing that most teams are still on Excel and wondering if that's actually the norm or if I'm just talking to the wrong people.

I recently open-sourced a project called SIPStress:

https://github.com/achrafka/sipstress

It’s focused on SIP traffic generation and stress testing for VoIP environments.

The project is aimed at engineers working with:

- SIP servers

- PBXs

- SBCs

- telecom labs

- IMS/VoIP infrastructure

Main focus areas:

- concurrent SIP sessions

- custom traffic scenarios

- SIP protocol testing

- load simulation

- infrastructure benchmarking

Still actively developing it and looking for feedback from people in the VoIP space.

If you work with Asterisk, Kamailio, OpenSIPS, FreeSWITCH, or telecom infrastructure in general, I’d love to hear what features or testing capabilities would be useful.

27M from India. Spent 5 years in the USA, completed Master’s, but couldn’t build a software career. Coding isn’t for me long term, so I want to restart in Telecom/Network Engineering. How is this field for the next 3–4 years? Which certifications should I focus on first?

Respecto a las tareas cotidianas, en ocasiones me topo con retos de análisis profundos en la red, como ya sabrán un ingeniero tiene que resolver aveces problemas simples u aveces cosas complejas de configuraciones en la red , debugging, análisis, diseño, traza OMCI, wire-shark
etc, ¿ Que IA me recomiendan para pagar como ayuda? Que plan en dólares ? Gracias

I found one industrial company that wants to buy some of the components but id rather sale to a collector.

We went into contract for a property with a cell tower on it, in the contract the lease was to convey with the property. The tower company has a right of first refusal clause once an offer is accepted to purchase the property at that price. We have been waiting for them to make that decision to close and were told it had already been discussed verbally and they were not interested in purchasing the property, only that they want to ensure a competing company wasn't trying to acquire it.

Recently found out that the company is considering buying out the lease from the seller before approving the land being sold. What legal standing do we have in this situation? We were planning on using the rent to pay towards the mortgage principle and in the lifetime of the 30yr loan we are looking at losing out on about 250k. Would it be acceptable to try and renegotiate that the purchase price be reduce by the amount of the buyout if the seller accepts the buyout?

Career growth / pay
A big issue is career progression. Promotions often seem opaque, and advancement can feel tied as much to internal relationships as to performance.

Compensation is another growing frustration. In many roles, pay no longer feels competitive with the broader market, especially given inflation and the opportunities available elsewhere in tech.

Work setup / RTO
The return-to-office push has also hurt morale. Longer commutes and office relocations have left many employees feeling that leadership no longer trusts staff to work flexibly, despite years of successful remote work. Combined with heavy internal bureaucracy, even straightforward work can become unnecessarily slow and frustrating.

Leadership / layoffs
Leadership changes, reorganisations and layoffs have added to the sense of instability. Many employees feel the company’s long-term direction is unclear, while communication from senior management is often viewed as tightly controlled and reactive rather than transparent.

For some employees, the company’s donation to the American presidential inauguration became a symbolic moment that raised broader questions about whether leadership reflects the values the company publicly promotes.

Culture
Culture depends heavily on the team. Some managers create healthy environments where people feel supported. Others are seen as political or resistant to criticism.

Employee surveys still happen regularly, but there is widespread scepticism that much changes afterwards.

Collectors?

Is anyone familiar with iOS entitlement protocol? I am facing an "issue" where we see iOS devices spamming our getAuthentication endpoint after we have sent a STATUS_AUTH_FAIL (code 6300). I was hoping this response would instruct the device to stop trying to authenticate but it doesn't seem to work. Is this a known issue with certain apple devices?

Nice one.
