Re: BBDB and twinkle

I do something like this which uses Google Voice. It's pretty
easy on Termux with Android. It's a bit more complex with
Linux on a laptop or desktop but it does work quite nicely,
although it's fragile and subject to Google's change without
notice to their UI.

Some surprising things can be done with BBDB 3.
