presumably all his calls are done through a VOIP app (he said astrix so probably SIP) and he can ignore all "normal" incoming calls, or is forwarded to his phone using a known number and he can ignore every number except that one.

In his setup, yes, this works as he does not have any phone number tied to the device. He’s using WiFi to connect to the PBX.
In the scenario where you use a cheap cell plan to have an always on data connection to the the PBX you will have to have some method of blocking all of the calls to the device number. I suppose you could have them all forward to the PBX and then your filtering could apply.
It seems this would solve the hijacking issues but you’d still likely get bombarded with robo calls to the MVNO number.
Does your setup have any mitigation against robo calls for the anveo number?
What do use for dialing? I’m wondering if it would somehow be possible to disable the device phone app to disable getting nuisances from the MVNO number.
I’m very interested in a write up. Thanks for sharing!
