I want to start the ball rolling on one plug-in feature that I think will really enhance the liberty and privacy of the users.
A receiver unit for commercial one way pagers or beepers.
With a paging network receiver a user can safely call forward to his paging service number and turn off the tracked always GSM modem relying on notification via pager plugin of all calls made to his phone.
A simple app could keep track of received pages display alphanumeric pages along with SMSs and with a touch on the phone number could at the Neo900 user's discretion either send DTMF tones over the external speakers to a pay or landline phone or alternatively turn on the GSM modem to make a call over the mobile network.
I imagine an appropriate receiver module could be made by harvesting the circuitry from old POCSAG pagers, VHF or 900mhz, and adding a USB to serial module to interface with the Neo900 plugin interface, though I am not sure about power use.
This development would be a major turn toward freedom and privacy for those of us who have never been comfortable wearing an always-on warrantless tracking device that we have to pay a monthly fee to maintain disguised in the form of a mobile phone.
