Actually there's a bigger issue with this for CDMA users, it's the loss
of encryption security as the call passes through Voicestick.

For GSM users, calls and texts are already insecure so sending the call
through Voicestick isn't going to matter much. You never want to do any
banking or credit card ordering on a GSM phone. See
